Warnings; Useful Tips; Functional Description Of The Equipment; Service Kits - Sagola RAIDER 160 Manual De Instrucciones

- Before putting the unit into operation, and especially after
each cleaning and/or repair operation, a check must be made
that the equipment components are securely tightened and
that the hoses are airtight (no leaks). Faulty parts must be
replaced or repaired as appropriate.
- The Unit is easy to handle thanks to its design and the
simplicity of its mechanisms. No special training is required
for handling the unit. Use it according to the operating,
maintenance and safety instructions indicated in this manual
and follow the application methods indicated to obtain the
required quality of finish.
- Before putting the unit into operation, we recommend that
you clean the equipment as this has been subjected to
functional tests and before packaging it is treated internally
with a protective coating, some of which may still remain.
Apply thinner to eliminate this. Remove any residual grease
applied during assembly.
- The unit is depressurised when supplied (no pressure
inside).
- Ensure that the products to be applied are chemically
compatible with the components these come into contact
with (aluminium, stainless steel, polythene and acetylene
resin).
- Do not use corrosive or abrasive products.
- Use SAGOLA anti-static hoses suited to the product to
be transferred.
· Use the lowest spray pressure in the air cap, allowing you
to obtain the required finish. Not all products require the
maximum pressure for correct spraying. With lower pressure
there is an additional increase in product transfer.
· Pay special attention to the application speed. The thickness
of the film deposited may be greater than planned if the
application speed is low, and the opposite is also true.
· If the thickness of the layer is very thin, this is due to the
fact that the air pressure is excessive for the amount of
product being applied. Reduce the air pressure in the gun
in order to ensure that the thinner in the paint does not
evaporate during spraying and that it is not dry when it
reaches the surface to be painted. Increase the amount of
product, correct its viscosity or use a larger air cap in the
gun.

7. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT

The Raider 160 or Raider 260 equipment can be used to
apply conveniently diluted products used widely in the
Construction, Automotive, Timber, Plastics Industry, etc.
The product to be applied is introduced into the unit's gravity
cup or is kept in the container supplied by the manufacturer
(suction probe version).
SAGOLA S.A. has service Kits for the repair and replacement
of consumable components in the unit, indicated in the

5. WARNINGS

- You must always connect the equipment and all the
elements involved in the work process to a grounding
connection to eliminate static electricity. Regularly verify (one
a week) its electrical continuity. If its resistance exceeds the
recommended limits, it must be fixed. An equipment unit
without or with a faulty grounding connection may make the
installation dangerous.
- The total derivative resistance must be <100 million ohms.
The unit has been designed for long service and can be
used with most products available on the market. Its use
with highly aggressive products will quickly increase the
need for maintenance and spare parts. If you need to apply
special products, please contact SAGOLA S.A.
- Read and apply all the information, instructions and safety
measures indicated by the manufacturer of the products to
be applied (products to be applied, thinners, etc.) as these
may provoke chemical reactions, fires and/or explosions, or
be toxic, irritant or harmful and in all cases dangerous for
the health and personal safety of the user and of other
persons nearby (see chapter on Safety and Health).
- Mix, prepare and filter the product to be applied in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring
that any foreign bodies are prevented from spoiling the quality
of finish and application. Should there be any doubt related
to the purity of the product, its composition, etc. please
contact your supplier.
Control the viscosity of the product to be applied with the
SAGOLA Viscosimeter kit- Code 56418001

6. USEFUL TIPS

· If the film is very thick or granulated, this is due to the fact
that the amount of product to be applied is excessive for the
pressure used. Decrease the amount of product, reduce its
viscosity or use a smaller air cap in the gun.
· If sagging occurs, this is due to the fact that the amount of
product to be applied is excessive for the pressure used,
the viscosity is not correct or the application speed is not
adequate. Decrease the amount of product, adjust its
viscosity or increase the application speed until the required
finish is obtained.
The spray fan (spray pattern) obtained will depend on the
air cap used and on your adjustment. If you require caps for
other applications, contact the Technical Service of SAGOLA
S.A.
From the cup it is fed by gravity to the interior of the unit.
From the manufacturer's container, with the unit in operation,
by means of suction and through the probe it flows to the
interior of the unit.
From the unit, through the product hose and the gun, the
product is sprayed.
