The Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for this product is included in each product carton and available in the Electronic version of this bulletin posted on Subarunet.
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved respirator for organic vapor and mist to control exposure where ventilation is inadequate. Example: 3M Maintenance-free HMfFacepiece Respirator 07191, 07192, 07193 or Low-Maintenance HMfFacepiece Respirator 07177, 07178, 07179.
Ventilation: General and local exhaust.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Caution: Avoid prolonged skin contact
Protective Gloves: Impervious gloves (Viton, PVOH, etc.)
Eye Protection: Safety glasses with sideshields or chemical goggle.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: If splashing is anticipated, wear rubber apron and boots or other protective equipment to minimize contact.
Necessary tools and supplies:
SPRAY EQUIPMENT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The pressure pot is equipped with an adjustment valve (or stop screw) to adjust the ratio of pro duct to air. This adjustment valve will have to be adjusted in order to achieve optimal spray pattern for each material. The adjustment valve is identified in the diagram below.
Before filling the gun, turn the stop screw clockwise until completely closed. Draw a line down the middle of the stop screw using a marker. This line will be used to determine the number of turns needed for optimal spray of the waxes.
Settings For Nox-Rust(R) X-121 Black Corrosion Preventive Coating
(Note: Product should he room temperature for proper application.)
When using the 360° flexible wand, turn the stop screw counterclockwise 3 turns from closed, and adjust the air pressure to 80 psi.
Gun Disassembly And Cleanout
1) Turn the spray gun stop screw (as pictured above) clockwise until completely closed. Blow the 360° flexible wand clear with air by pulling the spray gun trigger.
2) Disconnect the gun from the air supply.
3) Remove the spray tube using the quick disconnect.
4) Relieve the pressure from the gun by slowly turning the paint pot to the left until all the air escapes. Do not use the gun trigger to relieve pressure from the pot. This will cause the wax to flow into the air line supply of the gun.
5) Remove the paint pot and drain any remaining wax. Rinse the pot with mineral spirit based solvent.
If the gun is to be stored for more than 4 weeks, completely clean the gun with mineral spirits. Always store the gun assembled. Do not soak the 360° flexible wand in solvent. Prolonged exposure to solvent will cause damage.
Repair Procedure Details
Step 1: Raise vehicle on a lift.
Step 2: Identify the location of Left Hand Front Transverse Link and confirm the application area of anti-rust wax as shown by the arrow marked "A" in Image Number 1.
Step 3: Application of anti-rust wax (NOX RUST X-121 Black)
(1) Use the flexible 360° type nozzle for spraying. Turn the spray gun stop screw counterclockwise 3 turns from closed, and adjust the air supply pressure to 80psi. Sprayed amount: 1 oz (30cc).
(2) Insert the nozzle into the large hole at the lower side of the front transverse link until it touches the tip of the body mounting (inside) as shown by the arrow marked "B" in Image Number 1. Length to insert: 8.7 inches (220 mm)
(3) Spray anti-rust wax for 2 seconds while the nozzle is stationary. Spray the anti-rust wax continuously for 3 additional seconds while pulling the spray nozzle to the small hole (indicated by the arrow marked "C" in Image Number 1 ).
(4) For H-6 Models, wipe off any over-sprayed wax on the front catalytic converter cover.
Step 4: Lower the vehicle.
