Installation
When using with the Integrated Manual Controller #97003 or 97004, screw the tank fitting into the tank cover
and tighten with a wrench. Leave a length of tubing extending beyond the fitting so that the tubing stops within
2-3 cm from the inside bottom surface of the product container when the reservoir cover is closed. Then tighten
the nut and ferrule assembly to hold the tubing secure. Follow reservoir instructions for operation.
When using the cartridge reservoir #97109, screw the tank fitting into the connection adapter (2). Do not extend
the tubing beyond the tank fitting. Follow the reservoir instructions for operation.

Maintenance
The Vari-Drop™ Applicator requires no special care or maintenance. It can be flushed with Loctite
Solvent directly from the reservoir.
Caution! Do not place or submerge Vari-Drop™ Applicator into solvent.
If Vari-Drop™ Applicator becomes plugged with cured product or otherwise damaged, it can be replaced with
Vari-Drop™ Replacement Kit #97132 or repaired with Vari-Drop™ Repair Kit #97249 and feedline kit #97972.
To replace the Vari-Drop™ Applicator, use the following procedure:
Caution! Read instructions carefully before replacing the Vari-Drop™.
Remove air pressure from the product reservoir.
Drain all product from the Vari-Drop™ Applicator and the feed line by raising the Applicator above the reservoir
with the needle in the vertical up position. Depress the dispensing lever to allow product to drain.
Unscrew the nut at the back end of the Vari-Drop™ Applicator and remove the feed tube from the old
applicator. Apply a liberal amount of silicone grease to the threads of the new applicator and secure the feed
line with the nut.
The applicator is now ready for use. Re-pressurize the reservoir and check to make sure there is no leakage at
the feed line connection.
