Technical description

When the trigger (item 31) is operated, the preliminary air is opened first and then
the material needle (item 9) pulled back. Thus the spray material passes through
the nozzle. Closing takes place in reverse order. The material flow volume
depends on the nozzle diameter and the setting of the material pressure on the
free flowing system (height) pressure tank or the material pressure regulator. In
addition, the material volume can be regulated by turning the adjusting screw in or
out. Refer to 6 Changing the spray pattern for additional adjustment options.
