Operation and maintenance instructions for Lynx L100CM spray guns
General description
The L100CM is a bleeder type(atomizing air flows continuously spray gun with pressurized material supply cup and
an internal mix style spray nozzle. It has been optimized for the application of multi-color coatings but also is excellent
for single color latex or oil based interior paints.
Set-up and Operation
1. Connect a REGULATED air supply hose to the ¼ fitting on gun handle.
2. Connect the paint cup attachment to the 3/8 fluid inlet fitting on gun head.
3. Attach the 1/8 nylon tube on top of paint cup lid to the pressurization port on gun head.
4. Remove paint cup and fill with material to be sprayed. Reattach cup to cover and tighten firmly.
5. Turn on air supply and adjust pressure to material suppliers recommendation for material to be sprayed. Air will
flow continuously pressurizing the paint cup.
6. Fluid flow can be controlled using the fluid control knob; this restricts flow by limiting needle travel.
Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Routine cleaning and maintenance is essential to insure proper gun operation.
Several states prohibit spraying solvent into the atmosphere and require the use of a covered gun cleaner.
1. If a gun cleaner is being used, connect and clean the gun in the gun cleaner according to the manufactures
Instructions.
2. If a gun cleaner is not being used, first clean the paint cup thoroughly then spray clean solvent thru the
gun until clean. Remove air nozzle and clean separately if necessary.
NOTE: Gun ead disassembly is not recommended for
normal cleaning and maintenance.
