The following instructions provide the necessary
information for the proper operation and preventive
maintenance of your new TROPHY AA Air-Assist Airless
Spray Gun.
Please read and understand all information in this
document in order to get the maximum performance
from your new TROPHY AA spray gun.
With your new TROPHY AA spray gun, the paint or other
material to be sprayed is primarily atomized as it passes
through the carbide tip. The air cap will also add a
secondary atomization, based on its conguration. This
is done by utilizing a separate air supply, to the gun.
You may also control the pattern size using the spreader
valve. This dual atomization and shaping produces an
exceptionally ne and even spray pattern. The result
of this spray pattern is an even nish that lends itself
to products that need an exceptionally ne nish with
reduced overspray and VOC emissions.

Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If you
are injured or even suspect an injury:
• Go to an emergency room immediately.
• Tell the doctor you suspect an injection injury.
• Show the doctor this medical information or the medical alert
card provided with your airless spray equipment.
• Tell the doctor what kind of fluid you were spraying or
dispensing.
GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION
To prevent contact with the fluid, please note the following:
• Never point the gun/valve at anyone or any part of the body.
• Never put hand or fingers over the spray tip.
• Never attempt to stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand,
body, glove or rag.
• Always have the tip guard on the spray gun before spraying.
• Always ensure that the gun trigger safety operates before
spraying.

INSTALLATION
Before proceeding, make sure trigger lock is engaged.
NOTE
1. Connect your high-pressure uid hose to the gun uid
inlet and tighten securely.
2. Connect your air hose to the gun air connection and
tighten securely.
3. Slowly increase air to the pump to obtain a uid pressure
at the gun’s lower end of the pressure range. A typical
starting uid pressure is 70 bar [1000 psi]. Actual starting
pressure points may be higher or lower and be dependent
on the type of pump used, the type of material sprayed,
and the spray gun itself.
4. Using the control knob of the gun air regulator at the air
control, set the gun shaping air pressure at 0 bar [0 psi].
5. To test the spraying pattern, spray a sample piece of wood
or cardboard with a fast pass about 30cm [1 ft] away
from the surface. The results of the test will allow you to
determine the uniformity of the particle size and spraying
pattern.
6. If the spraying pattern develops tails or is not uniform,
gradually increase the air pressure as necessary to
develop a uniform spraying pattern. 1 bar [14 psi] is the
maximum inlet air pressure for HVLP air caps, or use 1.4-
2.8 bar [20-40 psi] inlet air pressure for LVMP air caps.
7. If the pattern is still unacceptable, you may gradually
increase the uid pump air pressure in 0.7 bar [10 psi]
increments using the uid pump air regulator control
knob. Repeat step 6, as needed.
8. Once the quality of spray is acceptable, begin spraying.
If the spraying rate is too slow to keep up with the
production line speed, or if the quantity of material
sprayed is inadequate for acceptable coverage, repeat
step 7, until desired pattern and material quantity is
achieved. If the maximum uid pressure is reached before
the required material coverage and spraying speed are
achieved, you may need to switch to a different uid tip.
FLUID TIP SELECTION
Factors to consider in selecting a uid tip for an air-assist
airless spray gun include:
• The size of the parts being sprayed.
• The production line speed
• The material ow rate and lm thickness.
• The viscosity of the material applied
• The type of material applied.
• The quality of atomization of the coating required.
The selection of a uid tip necessary to perform a specic
spraying job is best determined through a combination of
experimentation and expert advice from your material and
equipment suppliers.

SPRAY PATTERN ADJUSTMENT
• Turn the spreader valve knob indicated below
counterclockwise to decrease the pattern size;
clockwise to increase pattern size.
Spray pattern adjustment
control knob
For HVLP spray, spray pattern adjustment feature requires
1 bar [14 psi] maximum of air inlet pressure.
For LVMP spray, spray pattern adjustment requires
approximately 1.4-2.8 bar [20-40 psi] of air inlet pressure.
Higher fluid pressures will require a higher air inlet pressure
to accommodate pattern adjustment.
NOTE
FLUID HOSES
Air-assist airless spray guns operate at uid pressures higher
than operating pressures of air spray guns. As a result, when
operating an air-assist airless spray gun, it is critical to select
the appropriate uid hose that is rated for the pressure range
at which the airless gun is operated.
The spray gun must be earthed to dissipate any electrostatic charges which may be created by fluid or air flows.
This can be achieved through the spray gun mounting, or conductive air/fluid hoses. Electrical bond from the spray gun to earth
should be checked and a resistance of less than 106Ohms is required.
