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 deterioration of its components.
1.- Insert the suction probe (No.1) in the container with the product to be applied.
2.- Turn the pressure regulator (No.4) clockwise, until you see that the product circulates through
the unit and flows through the return hose (No.2). In either of both cases, insert the product
return hose (No.2) in the actual product.
3.- Close the product return key (No.3).
4.- Turn the product regulator control (No.4) to adjust the required pressure to be applied, visible
on the pressure gauge (No.7).
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.
9.- Adjust the Spray Pressure:
9.1 Adjust the spray pressure by turning the pressure regulator control (No.5) 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.
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.
