prevent such a risk, earth continuity to
the spray equipment and the object
being sprayed should be maintained.
Personal Protective
Equipment
Toxic vapours – When sprayed,
certain materials may be
poisonous, create irritation or be
otherwise harmful to health.
Always read all labels and safety data

spraying or cleaning the
equipment
Training – Personnel should be given
adequate training in the safe use of
spraying equipment.
Misuse
Never aim a spraygun at any part of the
body
Never exceed the max. recommended
safe working pressure for the equipment
The fitting of non-recommended or non-
original spares may create hazards
Before cleaning or maintenance, all
pressure must be isolated and relieved
from the equipment
The product should be cleaned using a
gun washing machine. However, this
equipment should not be left inside gun
washing machines for prolonged periods
of time.

Installation
Important: To ensure that this
equipment reaches you in first class
condition, protective coatings have
been used. Flush the equipment
through with a suitable solvent
before use.
1. Attach air hose to connector (13).
Recommended hose size 8 mm
bore.
2. Attach fluid supply hose to Fluid
Inlet (17).
3. Air supply should be filtered and
regulated.
1. Turn off air and coating supply
and relieve pressure in the
supply lines, or if using QD
system, disconnect from airline
and fluid line.
2. Remove air cap (1) and clean. If
any of the holes in the cap are
blocked with coating material use
a toothpick to clean. Never use
metal wire which could damage
the cap and produce distorted
spray patterns
3. Ensure the tip of the nozzle (2) is
clean and free from damage.
Build up of dried paint can distort
the spray pattern.
Preventative Maintenance
E
E
Operation
1. Mix coating material to
manufacturers instructions
2. Turn needle adjusting screw (10)
clockwise to prevent movement.
3. Turn pattern valve (5) counter-
clockwise to fully open
4. Adjust inlet air pressure to give 2
bar (29psi) at the gun inlet with
the gun triggered. (pressure
gauge attachment shown under
Accessories is recommended for
this).
5. Turn needle adjusting screw
counter clockwise until first thread
shows.
6. Test spray. If the finish is too dry
reduce airflow by reducing inlet
pressure. If finish is too wet
reduce fluid flow by turning needle
screw (10) clockwise or reducing
the fluid pressure. If atomisation is
too coarse, increase inlet air
pressure. If too fine reduce inlet
pressure.
7. The pattern size can be reduced
by turning adjusting valve (5)
clockwise.
8. Hold gun perpendicular to surface
being sprayed. Arcing or tilting
may result in uneven coating.
9. The recommended spray distance
is 150-200 mm (6”-8”).
10.Spray edges first. Overlap each
stroke a minimum of 50%. Move
gun at a constant speed.
11.Always turn off air and fluid supply
and relieve pressure when gun is
not in use.
Air Flow Valve (14)
1. If the airflow valve (14) is fitted
this can be used to reduce the
inlet pressure through the gun.
Screw the Adjusting Knob in to
reduce pressure.

4. Lubrication – stud/screw (6),
needle (7) and air valve (11)
should be oiled each day.
Nozzle (2) and Needle (7) –
Remove parts in the following order:
10, 8, 7, 1 and 2. Replace any worn
or damaged parts and re-assemble
in reverse order. Recommended
tightening torque for nozzle (2) 17-
20 Nm (150-180 lbf in)
Packing – Remove parts 10, 8, 7.
Unscrew cartridge (4). Fit new
cartridge finger tight. Re-assemble
parts 7, 8, and 10 and tighten
cartridge (4) with spanner sufficient
to seal but to allow free movement
of needle. Lubricate with gun oil.
Air valve (11) – Remove Trigger,
parts 6 and 12. Unscrew valve
assembly. Re-assemble, fitting
spring to valve head before fitting
valve.
Spreader valve (5) – Caution:
always ensure that the valve is in
the fully open position by turning
screw fully counter-clockwise before
fitting to body.
