THIS INDICATES A CONDITION THAT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
OR LOSS OF LIFE IF THE WARNING IS IGNORED.
THIS INDICATES A CONDITION THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
OR LOSS OF LIFE IF THE WARNING IS IGNORED.
THIS INDICATES A CONDITION THAT MAY CAUSE MINOR INJURY
AND/OR EQUIPMENT/PROPERTY DAMAGE.
• Risk of fire or explosion! Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite,
causing severe injury and property damage.
• Paints and solvents containing HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS can
react explosively with aluminum. Always check the product’s label before using
these materials in the unit.
• Hazardous vapors: Paint, solvents, insecticides and other materials may be
harmful if inhaled, causing severe nausea, fainting or poisoning.
• Make sure the room is well ventilated. Avoid all ignition sources, such as static electricity sparks,
open flames, hot objects, sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords,
and working light switches.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturers’ safety precautions and
warnings. Do not use liquids with flash points less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38
degrees Celsius).
• Static electricity can be produced by HVLP spraying. Make sure any
electrically conductive object being sprayed is grounded to prevent static sparking.
The sprayer is grounded to prevent static sparking. The spray grounded through
the electrical cord. If an extension cord is necessary, the cord must be a grounded with three wires made
for the appropriate voltage used.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled. Read all
instructions with the mask to ensure that the mask will provide the necessary protection against the
inhalation of harmful vapors.
• Do not carry the turbine while spraying.
• Keep the turbine at the maximum distance from the spraying area.
• Tipping the Mist Applicator™ causes the Mist Applicator™ to clog. Dried
spray material also clogs the pressure delivery tube and fittings. The Mist Applicator™ does not function
when clogging occurs.
• When not in use, be sure to disconnect the hose and place the Mist Applicator™ into the holder in
the turbine to avoid tipping.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be properly grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an alternate
path for the electrical current.
This product is equipped with a cord that has a ground wire and an appropriate ground plug. Plug the unit into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE GROUND PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RIST OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE PLUG OR CORD IS NECESSARY, DO NOT CONNECT THE GROUND
WIRE TO EITHER FLAT BLADE TERMINAL. THE WIRE WITH GREEN INSULATION (WITH OR WITHOUT A
YELLOW STRIPE) IS THE GROUNDING WIRE.
1. For any question regarding proper installation of the ground plug, consult a qualified (licensed or certified)
electrician.
2. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
3. This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug in Figure 2.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapters
should be used with this product.
4. If an extension cord is required, use only a three wire extension cord that
has the same configuration as the unit cord,
including the (round) ground terminal. Make sure
that the extension cord is plugged into a properly grounded receptacle.
5. When using an extension cord, be sure it is in good condition and heavy enough to meet the
specifications in the chart below. If an extension cord is needed the following wire sizes
must be used.
6. (See Chart 1) Figure 2
25’ cord………………………….10, 12, or 14 Gauge
50’ cord………………………………..10 or 12 Gauge
100’ cord………………………………………10 Gauge
Chart 1 Extension Cord Requirements

Set up and operate your T100-S Mobile Mist™ Spray Tan System:
1 Separate the middle section of the Mobile Mist case by releasing the three latches. You will find the air hose.
Remove the air hose. Close the middle section by securing the three latches. Open the top section by releasing the
single latch. You will find the Mist Applicator, power cord and instruction manual. Remove the Mist Applicator, power
cord and instruction manual.
2.
Connect the power cord to the Mobile Mist™ Turbo spray unit. Then, plug the power cord into
a proper electrical outlet. Make sure that the electric current you are connecting to is the same as your
unit. (110v or 220v). DO NOT attempt to connect the unit to the wrong electric current as this will not
only damage your unit but also void your warranty.
3. Next, locate the male end of the air hose and connect it to the outlet on the Mobile Mist™
Turbo Spray unit.
a. To insert the coupler pull back on the ring of the black coupler and connect it to the outlet on the T100-S Mobile
Mist™ Turbo Spray unit.
b. Release the ring to allow the coupler to snap into place. The hose should now be connected to the unit.
c. To remove the air hose, pull back on the ring of the black coupler and remove.
CAUTION: If you have just finished spraying, the connector may be hot. Allow the Mobile Mist™ Turbo unit to cool
down for about 10 minutes before disconnecting the air hose from the turbo unit. Use Caution!
MIST APPLICATOR
The top section is also designed for storage of various solutions, towels and other accessories. When left open
during a tanning session the Mist Applicator can be safely secured in a vertical position to avoid spillage of solution
when not in use.

Prepare the T6000 Mist Applicator™
1. The Mist Applicator Diagram

1. Follow the diagram to prepare the Mist Applicator™
a. Unscrew the plastic cup from the Mist Applicator™. Pour tanning solution into the cup. Do not fill more than ¾
full.
b. Carefully screw the cup back onto the main body of the Mist Applicator™. Screw the cup on firmly but DO NOT
over tighten. Over tightening will cause the cup to “pop” and damage the threads. Leakage can then occur
requiring replacement of the cup.
c. Locate the air cap (#2) on the T6000 diagram. Slightly turn the air cap ring (#1) anti or counter clockwise to
loosen the air cap. Notice that you can now rotate the air cap freely.
d. Look at Mist Applicator Patterns diagram below. Note the position of the air cap and the direction of the spray
pattern. Pattern 1 is for spraying across from side to side. Pattern 2 is for spraying up and down. Pattern 3 will
produce a spot or circle. Patterns 1 and 2 are the most common positions for applying tanning solutions.
e. Turn the air cap (#2) to the position you want. Turn the air cap ring (#1) clockwise to lock the air cap in place.
MIST APPLICATOR™ PATTERNS
1 Misting across from side to side
2 Misting up and down.
3 Misting in a spot or circle
2. Next, position the Mobile Mist™ Turbo Unit as far away as practical and possible from the area where you will
spray.
3. Attach the remaining end of the hose to the T6000 Mist Applicator™ as follows:
d. Locate the coupler at the rear top of the T6000 Mist Applicator™. See T6000 diagram.
e. Pull back on the collar of the black connector on the air hose.
f. Push the connector over the coupler and release. Figure 7.
g. Your Mist Applicator™ should now be firmly attached to the air hose.

Adjusting the Mist Applicator™
a. Locate the Solution Flow Screw (#10) on the T6000 diagram.
b. Turning the Solution Flow Screw clockwise reduces and will eventually stop the flow of solution.
c. Turning the Solution Flow Screw anti or counter clockwise will increase the flow of solution.
d. In general, 1 ½ - 2 full turn from the fully closed position will provide a good solution flow. You may find that you
want more or less solution. You can adjust the Solution Flow Screw to your desired setting. NOTE
e. In general, hold the T6000 Mist Applicator™ 4” (10cm) from the person being sprayed. Moving the Mist
Applicator™ back will increase the size of the mist pattern. Moving the Mist Applicator™ closer will decrease the
size of the mist pattern. The further away you hold the Mist Applicator™, the more you will need to increase the
solution flow thus causing abnormal amounts of airborne solution (overspray).
: Opening the
Solution Flow Screw more than 3 turns will not increase the solution flow and will in fact decrease the efficiency of
your Mist Applicator™
f. Holding the Mist Applicator™ closer to the person being sprayed along with a minimum flow of solution will provide
the best results, no streaks or running solution and virtually no mist in the spray area.
g. Be sure to move the Mist Applicator™ at a slow, steady speed keeping the distance of the Mist Applicator™ the
same throughout the application. This will ensure perfect results. It is actually very easy. Practice a few times and
you will be an expert.
h. It is best to hold the Mist Applicator™ in a vertical position when spraying. If you want to change the direction of
the mist pattern, rotate the position of the air cap rather than turning the Mist Applicator™ on its side.
i. Always hold or store the Mist Applicator™ in a vertical position.

Misting™
a. You are now ready to begin.
You MobileMist™ motor unit is equipped with our new variable speed control.
When you turn the motor on it will start at high speed. To lower the speed of the motor and make the unit quieter,
simply rotate the knob clockwise to the desired speed. Be careful to always have your motor speed fast enough to
atomize the solution you are spraying evenly. We suggest starting with the speed ½ way and adjust higher or lower.
Solutions vary and may require slightly different speeds.
c. Open the Solution Flow Screw as described above.
d. Set the mist pattern you wish to use by adjusting the air cap to the desired position. Refer to Mist Pattern
Diagram
e. Direct the Mist Applicator™ to the area of the body that you want to start spraying.
f. Pull back on the trigger (#13) and move the Mist Applicator™ as noted in the diagram below. Do not wave the
Mist Applicator™ back and forth in front of your client by bending your wrist. Rather, keep your wrist straight and
move your entire arm. Movement should be steady, even and deliberate, keeping your distance the same at all
times.
PROPER MISTING TECHNIQUE

Maintenance
Mobile-Mist™ Turbo Unit.
a. The only maintenance necessary on the turbo unit is cleaning and/or changing the filter element. The filter should
be removed and rinsed out at least once daily or at least every 4 tanning sessions. The filter housing and filter are
located on the side of the Mobile Mist™ Turbo Unit.
Changing the single inlet filter for your Mobile-Mist™ is very easy to do following these simple instructions:
1. Place your finger tips around the edge of the plastic outer fan guard located in the lower corner of the side panel
on the case. Gently pull the plastic guard apart from the workstation.
2. Once the outer guard has been removed the filter element should fall out. Take the element to the sink and rinse
with warm water until the water comes through clear.
3. Dry the filter element with some paper towel or a dry cloth.
4. Insert the filter element into the outer guard and push back onto the inner guard. Make sure that the filter is flat
and not curled up and the edges.
2 Air Hose.
a. Wipe the air hose daily with a damp cloth and store in a clean dry place.
3 Mist Applicator™
a. It is important to clean your Mist Applicator™ daily.
b. At the end of the day or when the equipment will not be used any more, disconnect the Mist Applicator™ from the
air hose.
c. Carefully unscrew the cup. If there is remaining solution, either close the cup with a cup lid, or pour the remaining
solution into a proper storage container.
d. Rinse the cup under warm running water until clean.
e. Fill the cup about ¼ full with water. Reconnect Mist Applicator™ to Air Hose. Turn on the Mobile Mist™ Turbo
Unit. Direct the Mist Applicator™ to a safe area and spray the clean warm water through the Mist Applicator™ until
the cup is empty.
f. Turn off the Mobile-Mist™ Turbo Unit. Disconnect the Mist Applicator™. Unscrew the cup.
g. Wipe all exposed areas dry.
h. Unscrew and remove the Air Cap Ring (#1). Rinse the threads under warm running water. Wipe, clean the

threads and dry. Add a small amount of Mist Applicator™ lube to the threads.
i. Remove the Air Cap (#2). Rinse under warm running water. Wipe, clean and dry.
j. If necessary, remove Air Distributor Plate (#5). Rinse under warm running water. Wipe clean, dry and lubricate
with Mist Applicator™ lube.
k. Reinstall the three pieces you just removed by reversing the removal procedure. Your Mist Applicator™ should be
ready for the next use. Store the Mist Applicator ™ in the holder on the Mobile Mist™ Turbo Unit.
l. The Solution nozzle (#3) can be removed for additional cleaning if necessary. Be careful. There is a Solution
nozzle gasket (#4) around the threads of the Solution nozzle. Be sure to reinstall or leakage will occur. Removal of
the Solution nozzle is not necessary on a daily basis. You should however remove it once a week and rinse under
running water. The Solution nozzle can be easily removed with an adjustable wrench or spanner. Place the tip of
your adjustable wrench or spanner on the two flat areas of the nozzle and twist anti or counter clockwise.
m. The Solution needle (#10) can also be removed for additional maintenance. To remove: Turn the Solution Flow
Screw anti or counter clockwise until it comes out of the Mist Applicator™. Be careful when removing the Solution
Flow Screw as there is a small spring (#9) around the needle. Do not lose it. This is important to the operation of the
Mist Applicator™. Set the spring aside and pull the trigger all the way back until you can grab the needle with your
finger tips and pull it out from the back of the Mist Applicator™. Once removed, rinse under warm running water,
Clean and dry. Reinstall reversing the removal procedure. NOTE:
Occasionally it is necessary to lubricate the
needle (#10) where it slides through the gland nut (#7). Simply rub a few drops of Mist Applicator™ lube around the
needle shaft and reinsert into the back of the Mist Applicator™.
