Instructions / Assembly

Bituthene System 4000 Surface Conditioner
is clear when dry and may be slightly tacky.
In general, conditioning should be limited to
what can be covered within 24 hours. In situa-
tions where long dry times may prevail,
substrates may be conditioned in advance.
Substrates should be reconditioned if signifi-
cant dirt or dust accumulates.
Before surface conditioner dries, tools should
be cleaned with water. After surface condi-
tioner dries, tools should be cleaned with
mineral spirits. Mineral spirits is a combustible
liquid which should be used only in accor-
dance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not use solvents to clean hands or skin.

System 4000 Surface
Conditioner Sprayer
The Bituthene System 4000 Surface
Conditioner Sprayer is a professional
grade, polyethylene, pump-type,
compressed air sprayer with a brass fan tip
nozzle. It has a 2 gal (7.6 L) capacity. The
nozzle orifice and spray pattern have been
specifically engineered for the optimum
application of Bituthene System 4000
Surface Conditioner.
Hold nozzle 18 in. (450 mm) from
substrate and squeeze handle to spray.
Spray in a sweeping motion until substrate
is uniformly covered.
Sprayer should be repressurized by
pumping as needed. For best results,
sprayer should be maintained at high pres-
sure during spraying.
To release pressure, invert the sprayer and
spray until all compressed air is released.
Maintenance
The Bituthene System 4000 Surface
Conditioner Sprayer should perform
without trouble for an extended period if
maintained properly.
Sprayer should not be used to store
Bituthene System 4000 Surface Condi-
tioner. The sprayer should be flushed with
clean water immediately after spraying.
For breaks in the spray operation of one
hour or less, invert the sprayer and squeeze
the spray handle until only air comes from
the nozzle. This will avoid clogging.
Should the sprayer need repairs or parts,
call the maintenance telephone number on
the sprayer tank (800-323-0620).
