Only if the whole process indicated in the section regarding DEPRESSURISATION, described in section 10,
has been correctly carried out will the unit be ready to be started and used again.
The incorrect observance of this Depressurisation process could lead to malfunctions in the equipment and
1.- Insert the suction probe (Fig.2 nº1) and product return
hose (Fig.1 nº2) in the container with the product to be
applied.
2.- Turn the pressure regulator (Fig.1 nº4) clockwise, until
you see that the product circulates through the unit and
flows through the return hose (Fig.1 nº2).
3.- Close the product return key (Fig.1 nº3) when you see
that no air leaks between the product return hose.
4.- Turn the presure regulator control of unit (Fig.1 nº4) to
adjust the required pressure to be applied, visible on the
pressure gauge (Fig.1 nº7)
5.- Carry out an uncompromising application test by direc-
ting the application on an earthed metallic container,
WITHOUT the air cap on the gun .
6.- Pull the trigger of the spray gun while maintaining part
of the same (for example the hand guard), in contact with
the container being sprayed.
In a few seconds the product will start to flow from the head
of the gun without the air cap. Keep the product flowing
until it there is a continuous flow (no air) through the head.
7.- Activate the gun's safety latch.
8.- Assemble the air cap on the gun.
9.- Adjust the Spray Pressure:
9.1. Adjust the spray pressure by turning the pressure
1.- Short stop
When stopping for a short period of time that does not pose
possible problems with catalysation or hardening of the
product inside the unit and accessories, keep the product
suction probe submerged in the product and apply the
procedure of Depressurisation (Section 10).
Disassemble the air cap and dip it in thinner.
2.- Stopping when work is finished
2.1.-Turn the pressure regulator control (Fig.1 nº4)
anticlockwise all the way (Minimum).
2.2.- Pull the spray gun trigger of the spray gun while main-
The spray gun, hoses and the rest of the unit must be
cleaned with the appropriate thinner, in order to remove
any remaining product after each use. The useful service
life of the unit depends largely on the effectiveness of the
cleaning process.
The unit must be cleaned:
- Before using it for the first time, in order to eliminate the
traces of maintenance oil that the equipment comes with
from the factory.
- After each use.
- When proceeding to apply a different product (different
colour or characteristics) to what we are currently using.
Before proceeding to clean the unit you must have followed
each and every one of the steps described in the section
Stopping when work is finished (Section 12.2). This implies
that the unit and its accessories must be depressurised
and without any product inside.
11. OPERATION
VERY IMPORTANT!!
deterioration of its components
regulator gun control (Fig.1 nº5) until the product flowing
from the gun is completely atomised.
To avoid spraying an excessive amount of product that
causes excessive misting, and produces premature wear
of the air cap and the components of the unit, always use
the lowest possible pressure to obtain the performance and
micronage expressed by the product manufacturer (greater
spray pressure does not mean a better finish, while it does
mean worse performance and product transfer).
9.2. Once the pressure at which the product atomises is
determined, if a greater amount of product needs to be
applied, we recommend that, preferably, a larger air cap is
used instead of increasing the pressure.
9.3. To achieve the desired spray pattern, activate the
gun's safety latch, loosen the screw that fixes the air cap
and move it to the desired position.
9.4. Tighten the air cap holder screw again.
During application, the amount of product applied to areas
with difficult access, reduced space, etc. can be reduced
by decreasing the travel distance of the trigger when loose-
ning the grip of your fingers on it.
Adjust the distance between the air cap and the object to
be sprayed (10 / 20 cm.) depending on the same, the
product to be applied and the working conditions, in order
to increase transfer and obtain a reduction in the amount of
mist depending on the air cap used in each case.
12. STOPPING
taining part of same (for example the hand guard) in
contact with the container, holding it until no more product
comes out of the gun.
2.3.- Lock the spray gun trigger with the safety latch.
2.4.- Open the product return key (Fig.1 nº3) to then be
able to recover the product remaining inside the unit.
2.5.- Raise or remove the probe absorption (Fig.1 nº1) at
an empty tank and turn the pressure regulator (Fig.1 nº4)
clockwise until the product flows out of the product return
probe (Fig.1 nº3), thus returning the existing product inside
the unit to its container.
The unit is now ready to be immediately cleaned.
13. CLEANING
Always use an appropriate thinner when cleaning the unit.
Always use water for waterborne products, for other
products always use whatever is recommended by the
manufacturer of the product to be applied.
1.- Add the thinner to the external container where the
suction probe (Fig.2 nº1) is located, by inserting the
product return hose (Fig.2 nº2).
2.- Turn the pressure regulator (Fig.1 nº4) clockwise, until
you see that the product circulates through the unit and
flows through the return hose (Fig.1 nº2).
3.- When the solvent starts to flow through the product
return hose (Fig.1 nº2) close the return key (Fig.1 nº3).
4.- Turn the pressure regulator control (Fig.1 nº4) to adjust
the working pressure.
5.- Pull the spray gun trigger, holding it until the sprayed
product is clean thinner and free from the product
previously applied.
