Start-Up; Depressurisation; Operation; Stopping - Sagola RAIDER 160 Manual De Instrucciones

Before each start-up and especially after cleaning or repairing
the unit, a check must be made that all its elements are
securely tightened.
The first time you use your equipment there is no need to
depressurise it, as it is already supplied in a totally
depressurised state, though it will be necessary to do this
1) With the unit, hose and gun pressurised, turn the unit's
pressure regulator control (No. 5) anticlockwise (Minimum).
2) Pull the spray gun trigger, holding it until no more product
comes out of the gun.
3) Lock the spray gun trigger with the safety latch.
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 (No. 2) in the container with the
product to be applied or pour the product in the cup of the
unit (No. 1)
2.- Turn the pressure regulator (No. 5) clockwise, until you
see that the product circulates through the unit and flows
through the return hose (No. 3).
In either of both cases, insert the product return hose (No.
3) in the actual product.
3.- Close the product return key (Nº 4).
4.- Turn the product regulator control (No. 5) to adjust the
required pressure to be applied, visible on the pressure
gauge (No. 8).
5.- Carry out an uncompromising application test by directing
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.

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 (if the unit has a
gravity cup there is no need to empty it) 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. (No. 5)
anticlockwise all the way (Minimum).

9. START-UP

each time any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
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. does not accept any
responsibility for the consequences of any non-compliance
with these safety regulations.

10. DEPRESSURISATION

4) Open the product return key (No. 4)
5) Turn the pressure regulator (No. 5) clockwise until the
product FLOWS SMOOTHLY through the product return
Hose (No. 3)

11. OPERATION

VERY IMPORTANT!!
deterioration of its components
9.- Adjust the Spray Pressure:
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

The unit is now ready to be immediately cleaned.
- 19 -
9.1 Adjust the spray pressure by turning the pressure
regulator control (No. 6) 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 loosening the grip of your fingers on it.
2.2.- Pull the spray gun trigger, 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 (No. 4) to then be
able to recover the product remaining inside the unit.
2.5.- Turn the pressure regulator (No. 5) clockwise
until the product flows out of the product return probe
(No. 3), thus returning the existing product inside the
unit to its container or gravity cup (No. 1).
