How
it
Works
• The
SGA-570
DeVilbiSS
spray
gun
works
through suction it
draws
the
material
from the cup through a
suction
tube
• The pattern

IS
adjusted
by
the

Installation
For
better
performance
of
the
DeVilbiss
SGA-570
we
recommend
that
• The
DeVilbiss
air filter
regulator
be installed as close as
possible
to
the
spray
gun
•
The
mternal
diameter
of
the
DeVi/t)iss air
hose
should
not
be
less
than
5116", for a
maximum
length
of
50
feet (15 meters)
Operation
fhe
air
valve
assembly
(6)
is
under
pressure
whenever
the
gun
ts tnggered. If this
valve
is
turned
out
too far, it
may
!eave the
gun
forcefully
when
rhe
gun
is
triggered
Also,
the
"0"
ring (5)
may
be
dammaged
rf
the valve
is
turned
out
past
the
first
thread
[)o
not
turn the valve past
the
first thread
-there
will be no
effect
on
the
spray
pattern
after
that
positton.
•
Prepare
the
mate
nat
wt>ich is to be
sprayed
according
to
the
manufacturer's
n:structions and filter it
ttlrough
a
sueeen
of
at
least
60
mesh,
or
equivalent.
• Set
the
atr pressure
at
the
DeVilbiss
filter
regulator
to
about
35
p.s.i. to start.
•
Effect
a
spray
test
•
Spray
a test pattern.
Regulate
the fan by opemng
or
closing its
adjusting
knob
•
Spray
a
small
area
in
order
to
achieve
the
desired
job
speed
and
finish.
•
If
the ftnish
appears
to be
dry
or
rough, the
quanttty
of
material
is
small
in relation to
the air
pressure
Open the fluid regulating knob,
or
decrease
the air
presure
in
the
DeVilbiss
filter
regulator
until
you
achieve
a
wet
and full coattng.
•
Keep
the
spray
gun
always
perpendicular
to the surface
which
is to
be
painted
·Do
not
arc
the
gun
as thts
produces
an
uneven
coat
of
paint
·We
recommend
the spray
gun
be
kept
at
a
distance
of
6 to 8 inches from
the
''urface
• The positton
of
the air cap
determines
the
position
of
the
pattern
Twist

requenments
Cleaning
We
recommend
that the
spray
gun
be
cleaned daily,
or
after
each
time
the
equipment
is
used
