2.2 MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The low pressure BRP gun is used to spray paints. It is possible to obtain smooth and even
large-size surfaces with this gun thanks to its micro-spraying system. The spray gun has a
threaded connection which is to be connected to the paint inlet hose. It is also possible to
adjust the inlet air flow and the paint output.
The spray gun used with a paint hose allows a long painting autonomy; it is also possible to
connect the spray gun to a common compressor with reduced working pressure. BRP
ASTURO spray guns are available both in standard and HVLP versions and with stainless
steel paint hose to be used with corrosive products (Code 183XXI). It is possible to adjust the
painting fan to obtain high quality finishing. The drawing below indicates the most important
features of the gun.

product by pressing the trigger.
3) Clean as described in the following paragraph.
4.2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The routine maintenance of the BRP spray gun is simple and does not require special
operations because its components do not need to be lubricated. Clean the spray gun daily
oratthe endofeachworking sessionsothat product residue willnotdry out onitswalls, thus
guaranteeing long term efficiency.
CLEANING OPERATIONS:
Should the spray gun be connected to ASTURO K24 pumps, see par. 5.4 in the K24 use and
maintenance manual. Should the spray gun be connected to a different equipment, see the
relevant manual. Unscrew the cap ring and with the given wrench disassemble the nozzle.
Place everything in the thinner. Clean the head of the spray gun, the needle and the nozzle
withthegivenbrush. Assemble the spraygun,lubricatethe threaded parts withathinlayer of
oil and screw it tightly.
DO NOT USE POINTED METAL OBJECTS TO CLEAN CLOGGED PASSAGE HOLES.
THESE OPERATIONS WOULD DAMAGE THEM, REDUCING THEIR SPRAYING
QUALITY.
Wash the paint cup with thinner. In case industrial washers are used to clean the spray gun,
close the flow regulator knob and the needle adjustment knob tightly by turning them clockwise
in order to avoid thinner infiltrations which might, in time, damage the packings. Once in a while,
lubricate the threaded parts such as the aircap and the needle stroke adjustmentknob with a
thin layer of synthetic oil, in order to avoid seizing up caused by the effect of thinners on the
spray gun components.
THE LUBRICANTS USED MUST NOT CONTAIN SILICONE.
