Speedaire Operating Instructions
2Z365G and 4XP64B
Introduction (Continued)
Bleeder / Non-Bleeder – Indicates
whether air flows through the gun
continuously or as the trigger is pulled.
External mix – Process where the air
and paint are mixed just after leaving
the nozzle. This type of mix should be
used for fast drying paints and when a
high quality finish is needed.
Feed – Method used to bring paint into
the gun for spraying.
Fluid Control knob – Used to control
the amount of paint being mixed with
air.
Gravity Feed – Method of paint feed
similar to the siphon feed method.
However, the cup is inverted to create a
positive fluid pressure at the nozzle.
Internal mix – Process where the air
and paint are mixed inside the air cap
just before being sprayed. This method
is best for heavy bodied, slow drying
paints and can only be used with the
pressure feed method. Do not use fast
drying paints with internal mix. The
paint will dry inside and quickly clog the
air cap.
mix – The mixing of paint and air when
spraying.
Non-Bleeder – In this mode, air
flows only when the trigger is pulled.
This type of operation is used with a
compressor equipped with a tank or
with a large factory air system.
Paint Tank – An auxiliary pressurized
paint reservoir that allows continuous
spraying of large amounts of paint
without stopping for refills as with a
canister. It also allows using the spray
gun at any angle without causing paint
to drip.
