11. Start-up
Before each start-up and especially after cleaning or repairing the unit, a check must be made that all
its elements are securely tightened.
If maintenance or repair work is to be carried out, the gun must be depressurised before work
begins (without air pressure). Should this safety measure not be observed, this may lead to
malfunctions, personal injury and accidents, which may prove to be fatal. SAGOLA S.A.U. does
not accept any responsibility for the consequences of any non-compliance with these safety regulations.
Open the spray width and product
regulators completely (without removing
these from their housing) by turning these
anticlockwise. (See Fig.01 and Fig.02)
Gravity/suction version: Place the pistol on
a support so that the axis of the tank is vertical.
Pour the product to apply into the tank. Until
the level is a maximum of 20-25 mm below the
edge of the tank.
Tighten the filler cap firmly. In the version
with the non-drip cap, tip it forward (paint up)
or back (paint down) as necessary.
Connect the gun to the compressed air
network.
Pressure version: When assembling the
equipment, make sure to connect the air
hose to air conduits (1) and the product hose
to the product conduits (2). Regulate product
pressure to the gun by applying product
pressure until this fails from 15 to 20 cm. from
the gun, depending upon the product to be
applied (Fig.03).
Adjust the air pressure in hte network
regulator in order to compensate for any
pressure drop in the network (estimated at 0.6
bar for each 10 m. of hose).
Adjust the air pressure in the air nozzle by
operating the flow regulator until the required
quality of finish is obtained (better finishes are
not obtained with higher spraying pressures
and these lead to lower performance and
worse product transfer).
Position the air nozzle spraying orifices
appropriately (when an imaginary line is
drawn through the 2 lugs, this must beparallel
or perpendicular to the floor) (Fig.04). Fully
close the product regulator by turning it
clockwise; and perform the desired application
test, adjusting the product regulators and
range as follows:
