Binks AIRLESS 16700-0080-0 Troubleshooting guide

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
The following steps and recommendations should be
followed to get the best results from your spray gun:
1. Connect high pressure airless fluid hose to the
gun fluid inlet and tighten securely.
2. With nozzle tip removed, start pump slowly
and direct spray gun into material container and
pull trigger until fluid flows steadily from gun.
3. Release trigger. Install nozzle tip per safety
procedure.
4. Increase pressure of pump and test spray
pattern for proper atomization.
5. Spray gun distance from work surface should
be at a point where maximum fan pattern is
evident. This distance is normally 8 to 14
inches.
6. “Hour-glass” and “tails” on spray patterns
normally indicate too low a fluid pressure for
the nozzle tip orifice size, or the material is
too viscous or thick.
7. Distorted spray patterns may be the result of
excess fluid pressure, plugging of tip, or a
worn tip.
8. Airless spray guns are either ON or OFF. You
cannot “feather” with airless guns as you can
with air atomized equipment.
9. Successive strokes may not require over-lapping
as much as with air atomized spray because
of the heavier pattern edges produced by
airless spraying.
10. Spray strokes with airless spray guns will be
faster because of the higher fluid output.

WARNING
UNDER NO circumstances should the spray gun be care-
lessly handled nor its spray (even when nozzle is
removed) directed at close proximity to any part of the
human body. If you spray yourself or anyone else at
close range, the stream of material can puncture the
skin and cause great harm (possible amputation).
!
NOTE
Excessive fluid pressure will distort the spray pattern. A
simple rule to remember is “When the pattern is right,
the pressure is right”.
Your new Binks Airless 1 spray gun has been thoroughly
tested before leaving the factory. No adjustment is
required prior to spray operations other than installing
the nozzle tip.

WARNING
!
In this part sheet, the words WARNING,CAUTION and NOTE are used to emphasize important safety information as follows:
CAUTION
Hazards or unsafe practices which could
result in minor personal injury, product
or property damage.
!
WARNING
Hazards or unsafe practices which could
result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
!
NOTE
Important installation, operation or
maintenance information.
Read the following warnings before using this equipment.
FOR FURTHER SAFETY INFORMATION REGARDING BINKS AND DEVILBISS EQUIPMENT,
SEE THE GENERAL EQUIPMENT SAFETY BOOKLET (77-5300).
READ THE MANUAL
Before operating finishing equipment, read and
understand all safety, operation and maintenance
information provided in the operation manual.
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
Always follow the pressure relief procedure in the
equipment instruction manual.
MEDICAL ALERT
Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be
serious. If you are injured or even suspect an injury:
a) Go to an emergency room immediately.
b) Tell the doctor you suspect an injection injury.
c) Show the doctor this medical information or
the medical alert card provided with your
airless spray equipment.
d) Tell the doctor what kind of fluid you were
spraying or dispensing.
e) Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for
specific information.
TOXIC FLUID & FUMES
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious
injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,
inhaled, injected or swallowed. LEARN and KNOW
the specific hazards or the fluids you are using.
WEAR RESPIRATOR
Toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if
inhaled. Wear a respirator as recommended by
the fluid and solvent manufacturer’s Material
Safety Data Sheet.
ELECTRIC SHOCK / GROUNDING
Improper grounding or sparks can cause a
hazardous condition and result in fire, explosion
or electric shock and other serious injury.
PROJECTILE HAZARD
You may be injured by venting liquids or gases
that are released under pressure, or flying debris.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper equipment grounding, poor ventilation,
open flame or sparks can cause hazardous
conditions and result in fire or explosion and
serious injury.
STATIC CHARGE
Fluid may develop a static charge that must be
dissipated through proper grounding of the
equipment, objects to be sprayed and all other
electrically conductive objects in the dispensing
area. Improper grounding or sparks can cause a
hazardous condition and result in fire, explosion
or electric shock and other serious injury.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
Failure to wear safety glasses with side shields
could result in serious eye injury or blindness.
OPERATOR TRAINING
All personnel must be trained before operating
finishing equipment.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Equipment misuse can cause the equipment to
rupture, malfunction, or start unexpectedly and
result in serious injury.
KEEP EQUIPMENT GUARDS IN PLACE
Do not operate the equipment if the safety
devices have been removed.
HIGH PRESSURE CONSIDERATION
High pressure can cause serious injury. Relieve all
pressure before servicing. Spray from the spray
gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can
inject fluid into your body and cause extremely
serious injury.
GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION
To prevent contact with the fluid, please note the
following:
a) Never point the gun/valve at anyone or any
part of the body.
b) Never put hand or fingers over the spray tip.
c) Never attempt to stop or deflect fluid leaks
with your hand, body, glove or rag.
d) Always have the tip guard on the spray gun
before spraying.
e) Always ensure that the gun trigger safety
operates before spraying.
f) Always lock the gun trigger safety when you
stop spraying.
DE-ENERGIZE, DEPRESSURIZE, DISCONNECT
AND LOCK OUT ALL POWER SOURCES DURING
MAINTENANCE
Failure to De-energize, disconnect and lock out
all power supplies before performing equipment
maintenance could cause serious injury or death.

GENERAL
The Twist-Tip Nozzle Cleaner allows purging of a
clogged nozzle orifice without disassembly from the
spray gun. The tungsten carbide nozzle is permanently
assembled into the rotatable cylinder tip insert and
handle assembly. No alignment or adjustments are
required.
ASSEMBLY
Assembly to spray gun is simple. Please refer to the
detailed assembly instructions on page 7. The exploded
view at right is for part ordering reference.
FEATURES OF THE TWIST-TIP ATTACHMENT
• Fits most popular airless spray guns
• Low friction turning
• Equals or exceeds life of other reversible spray tips
• Hand-tightened seal system
• Assembly suitable for solvent and water-based
• Maximum working pressure: 7,500 PSI
• Rapid changing of the tip and base by hand without
tools
IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The spray gun must be shut off while rotating the
Twist-Tip attachment handle.
2. If leakage occurs, unit must be disassembled,
cleaned and parts checked for any damage. Replace
damaged parts with genuine Binks parts.
3. With proper care, the Twist-Tip attachment will give
long, reliable service. To maintain this performance,
it should be flushed with solvent or proper cleaning
fluid following each spray period.

MAINTENANCE/CLEANING
1. Cleanliness is important to assure trouble-free opera-
tion. Excessive purging can indicate a need for paint
filtering and/or service of existing filter.
2. Flush unit after each use, and before any expected
downtime. Adjust unit fluid pressure to lowest possi-
ble setting.
3. To store unit: Clean, disassemble and store dry.
AIRLESS TIP SELECTION
Proper Selection: Determined by fluid flow desired and
the spray pattern fan width required for the specific job.
Selected size should supply the desired amount of fluid
and pattern width with proper atomization and yet not
exceed the capacity of the fluid supply.
Viscosity: Viscosity can be used as a guide and general-
ly smaller orifice tips are desired for “light” viscosity
fluids. For heavy viscosities larger orifice tips are pre-
ferred. The chart below indicates orifice sizes with
appropriate fluids.
WARNING
NEVER hold gun trigger when replacing tip. Always remove
fingers from trigger and HOLD BY GUN HANDLE ONLY.
NEVER attempt to rotate/remove/change tip when device is
pressurized and or when gun trigger is depressed. ALWAYS
engage trigger safety whenever removing cylinder tip
assembly.
!
FAN WIDTH
Fan width is dictated by the job at hand, and personal
selection. However, an 8" to 12" pattern is preferred by
most painters and offers more spray control while less
likely to plug. A 14" to 16" pattern may find favor
with a more experienced painter and offer greater
production rates.
