To ensure maximum performance and longevity from your fusion gun, it should be regularly disassembled once a month for proper maintenance. A fusion gun is appropriately maintained with good startup and shutdown procedures each day of use, thorough cleaning when repair is necessary, and adequate spare part replacement.
Check Parts
There are 21 O-rings in a fusion gun. Keeping them clean and greased is essential for smooth and sterling operation of all working parts. When disassembling and inspecting your fusion gun, look for flat spots, cracks, or chips on the O-rings, then replace and grease them as needed. It’s always a good idea to have enough spare parts on hand to be able to rebuild your fusion gun at least once. Downtime from a lack of working parts on a fusion gun can be costly.

Clean Entirely
When cleaning the gun, pay particular attention to all of the air passages. Fusion gun cleaning kits that come complete with pipe cleaners, brushes, and pick tools make maintenance easy when used with a solvent like Rhino® Parts Cleaner. Rhino Parts Cleaner is a safe and cost effective solution to remove cured elastomers or crystallized isocyanates from low pressure or high pressure spray equipment.
Make sure to read and understand all of the instruction manuals for the equipment that you use. Only trained and qualified personnel should perform repairs on equipment.
