１ ． Safety precautions
Wear protective gear.
During painting, be sure to wear protective gear such as glasses, mask or gloves.
Paints or solvents might enter your eyes or you might inhale them.
If you feel any abnormality during operation, immediately see a medical doctor.
Be careful about ventilation.
・Use it in a well-ventilated place.
Painting or cleaning in a narrow place with insufficient ventilation can cause organic
solvent poisoning by sprayed mist of paint or volatile solvent.
If you feel any abnormality during operation, immediately see a medical doctor.
・Sprayed mist of paints or solvents can catch fire, causing fire or explosion, which is
very dangerous.
Danger caused by wrong operation of equipment
・Never use in another way than to apply pressure for paint transfer.
If done, it can cause insufficient performance or failure.
・Do not use with corrosive liquids （halogenated hydrogen carbon, oxygen, alkaline）.
If done, corrosion can cause failure.
If you consider use of a special cleaning solvent, we are ready to supply you with
a material list of our pressure tank on request.
・Never point paint (gun) toward a person or animal, or put your finger in front of tip of air cap.
If done, paint can enter human body directly through eyes, mouth or skin. It is very
dangerous.
Keep away from origins of explosion or fires.
・Never use near sparks or open fire. Especially the following will cause fire. It is
very dangerous.
・Open flames such as cigarettes or pipes
・Electric goods such as stoves, lamps or heaters
Contact grounding.
・Securely ground pump, spray gun, workpieces and containers containing paints or solvent.
Be sure to use Anest Iwatas designated urethane air hose (EAHU type) with
built-in ground wire to have continuous grounding between pump and spray gun or
connect grounding separately. Insufficient grounding will cause explosions or fire if expo
sed to
a spark of static electricity.
Insufficient grounding will cause explosions or fire if exposed to a spark of static electricity.
Be careful about explosion of fluid hose.
・Never bend hose with a radius of less than 50mm. Never put heavy things on it.
If done, hose can explode, causing great danger.
・Securely connect hose to avoid leak and looseness.
If hose is disconnected during operation, hazardous hose movement and paint ejection will
cause severe bodily injury.
・Never use the following hoses. Such a hose can cause great danger during operation.
It is very dangerous.
・cracked ・damaged
・bent ・crushed or distorted

-3-
Be careful about explosion.
・Be sure to use it at less than maximum fluid operating pressure.
If done, it can cause damage to the pressure tank or emission of paint or flying parts, resulting in
serious bodily injury.
・Never remove safety valve or alter setting figures.
If done, it makes it difficult to deal with emergencies, resulting in explosions or accidents.
・Be sure to release pressure in pressure tank before inspecting or cleaning inside of
pressure tank.
If not done, it can cause serious bodily injury through eruption of paint or flying parts.
Before maintenance or inspection, be sure to release compressed air in pressure tank and make sure by
checking pressure gauge that there is no pressure remaining in the pressure tank. If you do
Maintenance or inspection while pressure remains in tank, parts being disassembled can fly out and caus
injury.
・Never alter the pressure tank.
・Be sure to use our genuine parts when you make repairs or replace parts. If not, it can cause
insufficient performance or failure.

. Operation
６−１．Preparation
Be sure to release compressed air before you lift lid and inspect the inside.
If not done, flying parts can cause serious injury.
①Open exhaust valve and release compressed air.
If you loosen thumb nut while compressed air remains in pressure tank, flying parts or paint can
cause serious injury or accidents.
②Loosen thumb nut, lift lid and inspect the inside of pressure tank.
If the inside has become dirty, clean it and pour paint which is filtered.
③Close lid and securely tighten thumb nut.
Tighten it evenly.
④Securely connect air hose to air hose connection, and fluid hose to fluid hose connection.
⑤Close exhaust valve.
６−２．Start-up operation and adjustment
・Never remove safety valve or alter setting figures.
If done, safety valve cannot deal with emergencies, resulting in an explosion
or accident.
・If shaft of safety valve becomes dirty clean it.
Dirty shaft can cause failure, explosion or accident.
If it is damaged or bent, you must ask a specialist to repair it.
Safety valve has been adjusted to operate as follows:
4bar｛57psi｝
①Supply compressed air.
Gradually tighten pressure regulator handle to get necessary pressure. If pressure becomes too
high, loosen pressure regulator handle. Air release valve fitted to pressure regulator automatically
releases air pressure in accordance with loosened value. Readjust and fix it after pressure
becomes stable.
②Test spray
During spray test, fully adjust both fluid pressuring air pressure and atomizing air pressure.
Relationship between fluid pressurizing pressure and atomizing air pressure
③After spray test, start normal coating job.

-7-
６−３．End of operation
①Stop supply compressed air, open exhaust valve to release compressed air pressure in pressure tank.
②Fully return pressure regulator handle （Air release device fitted to pressure regulator releases air from l
ower section of handle but this is not a failure）
③Remove lid and take out paint in container.
④Securely tighten lid, feed compressed air into pressure tank and exhaust paint in fluid hose.
⑤After exhausting paint, stop supply compressed air at air inlet again and turn it to the left till handle
movement of pressure regulator becomes light.
⑥Clean inside of pressure tank which is in contact with paint.
６−４．Precautions during operation
・As safety valve has been adjusted during assembly at plant, do not readjust it.
If done, it can cause pressure to become higher than necessary and become
dangerous.
・
Dirty safety valve fails and can also be dangerous. Pay special attention to this
point.
Safety valves for have been adjusted to operate at 4bar｛57psi｝.
・Be sure to release air pressure in pressure tank before replenishing paint.
If not done, parts can fly and paints scatter, which is very dangerous.
・Be sure to filter air through air filter and supply clean air without moisture and oil
to
pressure tank.
If not done, air including moisture and oil can fail paint finish.
・Do not fill pressure tank to more than 80% of its capacity.
If done, paint sticks to lid during transportation, damages rubber valve of pressure regulator
or
reverses flow of paint.
■
７.Ｍａｉｎｔｅｎａｎｃｅ
・When disassembling, be sure to turn handle of pressure regulator counterclockwise, and
slacken it completely.
If not done, pressure can cause parts to fly and paint to scatter, causing serious bodily
injury.

・Refer to the following table and do the inspection and maintenance.
No. Period Contents of inspection and maintenance
１Daily inspection ①Check cleanliness of safety valve.
・Clean if appearance is dirty.
・If safety valve fails, ask a specialist to repair it.
②Check motion of pressure gauge pointer and any damage to
glass. Replace if necessary.
・Check if pointer returns to 0 position when pressure is not put.
・Check if pointer moves up gradually when you put pressure gradually.
・Check to make sure that glass is not broken.
２Periodic inspection ①Clean pressure tank fully after use. Clean especially suction tubes
and fluid hoses with solvent.
②Visually check inside and outside of the unit.
・any deformation and crack of tank
・any deformation of tank lid
・tightening thumb nut and bolt
・air leak from tank lid packing
