Tremco FAS-n-FREE Manuals

DESCRIPTION: The FAS-n-FREE Applicator Cart is a two-wheeled dis- pensing tool designed to allow 1 man to carry and apply FAS-n-FREE Adhesive or other solvent-free bitumi- nous adhesives. This durable and re-usable steel cart has a hand operated lever which allows the cart to be quickly opened or closed during the application process. This lever operates a series of flaps which con- trol the flow of the adhesive through 8 dispensing ports located at the bottom of the adhesive storage bin. BASIC USES: The FAS-n-FREE Applicator Cart is designed to apply FAS-n-FREE Insulation Adhesive onto low slope roof decks and other substrates approved by Tremco. This equipment assists the roof installer in applying the rec- ommended pattern of ribbons of insulation adhesive at a measured coverage rate so that 4’ wide insulation boards may be installed in one pass. LIMITATIONS: • Do not store adhesive in the equipment for extended periods exceeding adhesive cure time. • Assure the material temperatures of the adhesives are within recommended ranges to assure proper flow of adhesive through this equipment. • Not recommended for application on Acoustical Metal decks, due to the perforated openings on the metal panel which will allow adhesive to drip through.

Plastic (polyethylene) sheeting may be used to line the interior of the cart bin to save time in clean-up. 2. Custom cut plastic sheeting to cover inside faces of cart bin. Cut holes in plastic sheet to match the port holes in the bottom of the cart bin. Use duct tape to join, seal and secure the pieces of plastic. Application of Adhesive 1. Assure the roof deck or surface is properly blocked or sealed to prevent drippage of adhesive into building. 2. Open solvent-free adhesive container. Discard skinned product, if present, since this may block the ports. 3. Make sure Applicator Cart Control Lever is in the closed position, then pour the adhesive into the bin. Pour adhesive into the bin so ports are evenly covered. 4. Place cart into position where you would like to begin dispensing adhesive. Cart must be placed so when operator pulls the cart, the adhesive ribbons are not tracked over. Pre-inspect area where adhesive will be installed to assure there are no trip hazards and the roof edges are properly protected. 5. Open Control Lever and begin pulling cart at a steady pace to apply ½” to ¾” diameter ribbons of adhesive onto the substrate. Adjust pace to achieve specified coverage rate. 6. When applying adhesive to a metal roof deck, make sure adhesive is dispensed on the top flanges. 7. Apply the adhesive quickly. Do not allow adhesive to remain in applicator cart more than 15 minutes since the adhesive will begin to skin over. 8. Set the insulation boards into the adhesive immedi- ately and step boards into place. Follow adhesive man- ufacturers recommendations for application details. CLEAN UP: 1. When application is complete, pour remaining adhe- sive from Applicator Cart back into product containers and seal properly for later use. 2. Set the Applicator Cart upside down with the ports open position over two empty pails and a scrap roofing ply sheet. This will allow the remaining traces of adhe- sive to drain from the cart bin and keep the ports clear so they will continue to seal properly for the next use. 3. After remaining adhesive is cured, remove and dis- card optional plastic sheeting from cart bin.
