1100mm rigid lance

When re-treating wax-injected areas which have been disturbed during repairs, it is necessary to use a compressed air spray gun with integral pressure cup and a selection of interchangeable lances.

The following points must be observed during use, according to the attachments fitted:

• Use the rigid or flexible lance attachments with 360° spray dispersal when treating enclosed areas, to ensure maximum coverage.
• Where openings are restricted, use the hook nozzle to provide a more directional spray (e.g. inside narrow or short box sections).
• Spray exposed underbody surfaces directly from the gun less lance attachment and without disconnecting the fluid coupling.

1100mm rigid lance

The nozzle on the rigid lance produces a 360° circular spray pattern combined with a forward-directed spray. Although wax is distributed to all box section surfaces in a single stroke, effective and complete coverage is obtained in long straight structures and box section cavities by spraying on both inward and outward strokes of the lance.

The rigid lance also provides the positional accuracy required in shaped sections, by allowing visual assessment.

CAUTION: Do not force the lance into access holes when using this attachment.

1100mm flexible nylon lance

This lance is similar in pattern to the rigid version, but provides the additional penetration required for curved sections or in places where access is difficult. Its main limitation is a lack of positional accuracy inside box sections.

Carry out all spraying on the outward stroke of the lance. Withdraw the lance slowly to ensure sufficient coverage. Do not withdraw the lance too quickly.

Ensure that the nylon tube of the lance is kept away from the edges of the access hole to eliminate abrasion and extend the life of the tube. Take care to ensure that spraying ceases just before the nozzle emerges from the access hole. To assist in this process paint the final 30mm of the nozzle with RED paint.

Hook nozzle on flexible lance

The rigid hook produces a highly atomised, forward-directed, fully conical spray pattern having long range and good dispersion characteristics. This combination has good directional capabilities for treating short, narrow sections, and may also be used for direct spraying of inner wheel arches etc.

In use, position the flat area at the end of the lance at 180° to the nozzle spray direction. This will help to guide the spray more accurately when it is concealed in a box section or access hole.

For general spraying, move the nozzle in an arc from side to side as required, to ensure full coverage.

NOTE: Ensure that all wax injection/application equipment is kept clean. Use white spirit for this purpose immediately after wax injection operations.
