developed for the application of Professional Norvell liquid spray tanning
solutions. Any application other than that described in this instruction
manual is not permitted and will immediately void ALL warranty.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and the injury to
persons, read and understand all instructions included in this manual. Be
familiar with the controls and proper usage of the equipment.
• Risk of fire or explosion! Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite,
causing severe injury and property damage.
• Paints and solvents containing HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS
can react explosively with aluminum. Always check the product’s label
before using these materials in the unit.
• Hazardous vapors: Paint, solvents, insecticides, and other materials may
be harmful if inhaled, causing severe nausea, fainting or poisoning.
• Make sure the room is well ventilated. Avoid all ignition sources, such as
static electricity sparks, open flames, hot objects, sparks from
connecting and disconnecting power cords, and working light switches.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturers’ safety precautions and
warnings. Do not use liquids with flash points less than 100 degrees
Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius).
• Static electricity can be produced by HVLP spraying. Make sure any
electrically conductive object being sprayed is grounded to prevent
static sparking. The sprayer is grounded to prevent static sparking.
The M1000 is grounded through the electrical cord on the unit. If an
extension cord is necessary, that extension cord must be a grounded
three-pronged cord. One that is made for the appropriate voltage used.
• Do not carry the turbine while spraying.
• Keep the turbine at the maximum distance from the spraying area.
• The M1000 is not to be used by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision and instruction.
• Children should be supervised and instructed not to play with
the equipment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Improper installation of the plug can result in the risk
of electrical shock. If repair or replacement of the
plug or cord is necessary, contact the Norvell support
team for assistance. Do not use if the plug or cord is
damaged in any way. Only use the unit with an outlet
that is properly installed in accordance with local
codes and ordinances.
• For any question regarding proper installation of the plug,
consult a qualified (licensed or certified) electrician.
• Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug does not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. Make
sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapters should be used
with this product.
• Keep cords away from water. Ground fault circuit interrupter
protection should be used when cords are in wet or damp
environments.
• When using an extension cord, be sure it is in good condition
and heavy enough to meet the specifications in the chart below.
If an extension cord is needed the following wire sizes must
be used (see chart below).
SET UP AND OPERATE YOUR
NORVELL M1000 SPRAY TAN SYSTEM
• Plug the Norvell M1000 HVLP spray tan system unit into a
proper electrical outlet. Make sure that the electric service
provides the nominal 120Vac circuit used by this system.
DO NOT attempt to connect the unit to the wrong electric
current as this will not only damage your unit but also void
your warranty.
• Next, locate the male end of the air hose and connect it to
the female quick connect on the M1000 spray tan system.
— To insert the coupler, pull back on the ring of the black
coupler located on the M1000 system and connect it to
the male connector on the hose.
— Release the ring to allow the coupler to snap into place.
The hose should now be connected to the unit.
— To remove the air hose, pull back on the ring of the black
coupler and remove.
If you have just finished spraying, the connector may
be hot. Allow the M1000 HVLP unit to cool down for
about 10 minutes before disconnecting the air hose
from the HVLP unit. Use Caution!

PREPARE THE SPRAY GUN
• Unscrew the plastic cup from the Spray Gun. Pour Norvell
sunless tanning solution into the cup. Do not fill more than
3/4 full.
• Carefully screw the cup back onto the main body
of the Spray Gun. Screw the cup on firmly but
DO NOT over tighten. Over tightening will
cause the cup to “pop” and damage the threads.
Leakage will require replacement of the cup.
• Locate the air cap (#2) on the M1000 SPRAY GUN diagram.
Slightly turn the air cap ring (#1) counterclockwise to loosen the
air cap. Notice that you can now rotate the air cap freely.
• Look at Spray Gun Patterns diagram below. Note the position
of the air cap and the direction of the spray pattern. Pattern 1is
for spraying side to side. Pattern 2is for spraying up and down.
Pattern 3will produce a spot or circle. Patterns 1and 2are the
most common positions for applying tanning solutions.
• Turn the air cap (#2) to the position you want. Turn the air cap
ring (#1) clockwise to lock the air cap in place.
SPRAY GUN PATTERNS
• Next, position the M1000 HVLP Unit as far away as practical
and possible from the area where you will spray.
• Attach the remaining end of the hose to the M1000 HVLP
Spray Gun as follows:
— Locate the coupler at the rear top of the M1000 HVLP
Spray Gun. See SPRAY GUN diagram.
— Pull back on the collar of the black connector on the air hose.
— Push the connector over the coupler and release.
— Your Spray Gun should now be firmly attached to the
air hose.
ADJUSTING THE SPRAY GUN
• Locate the Solution Flow Screw (#10) on the M1000 SPRAY
GUN diagram.
• Turning the Solution Flow Screw clockwise reduces and will
eventually stop the flow of solution.
DO NOT over-tighten the screw as this will cause
damage to the end of the needle. Once the trigger
cannot be pulled back there is no point in tightening
the screw down more, this will only damage the end
of the needle.
• Turning the Solution Flow Screw anti or counterclockwise will
increase the flow of solution.
• In general, 1–2 full turns from the fully closed position will
provide a good solution flow. You may find that you want more
or less solution. You can adjust the Solution Flow Screw to your
desired setting.
NOTE: Opening the Solution Flow Screw more than 3turns
will not increase the solution flow and will in fact decrease the
efficiency of your Spray Gun.
• In general, hold the M1000 Spray Gun 6" (15cm) from the person
being sprayed. Moving the Spray Gun back will increase the size
of the mist pattern. Moving the Spray Gun closer will decrease the
size of the mist pattern. The further away you hold the Spray Gun,
the more you will need to increase the solution flow thus causing
abnormal amounts of airborne solution (overspray).
• Holding the Spray Gun closer to the person being sprayed along
with a minimum flow of solution will provide the best results, no
streaks or running solution and virtually no mist in the spray area.
• Be sure to move the Spray Gun at a slow, steady speed keeping
the distance of the Spray Gun the same throughout the
application. This will ensure perfect results. It is actually very
easy. Practice a few times and you will be an expert.
• It is best to hold the Spray Gun in a vertical position when
spraying. If you want to change the direction of the mist pattern,
rotate the position of the air cap rather than turning the Spray
Gun on its side.
• Always hold or store the Spray Gun in a vertical position. A slot in
the M1000 HVLP Turbo Unit is provided to hold and store the
Spray Gun. It is a good habit to use it when you are not spraying.

START SPRAYING
• The ON/OFF switch is located on the M1000 HVLP Spray
Tan Unit. Turn it on when ready.
• Open the Solution Flow Screw slowly.
• Set the mist pattern you wish to use by adjusting the air cap
to the desired position. Refer to Spray Gun Patterns.
• Direct the Spray Gun to the area of the body that you want
to start spraying.
• Pull back on the trigger (#15) and move the Spray Gun as noted
in the diagram below. Do not wave the Spray Gun back and
forth in front of your client by bending your wrist. Rather, keep
your wrist straight and move your entire arm. Movement should
be steady, even, and deliberate, always keeping your distance
the same.
MAINTENANCE
NORVELL M1000 HLVP SPRAY TAN SYSTEM
• The only maintenance necessary on the M1000 HVLP unit is
cleaning and/or changing the filter element. The filter should be
removed and rinsed out at least once every 30 days or after a
total of 30 sessions. The filter housing and filter are located on
the underside of the M1000 HVLP Unit.
• To clean or replace the filter, pull the tab on the filter housing
and remove the housing from the M1000 HVLP unit.
• Pull the filter out of the filter housing to clean or replace it.
AIR HOSE
• Wipe the air hose daily with a damp cloth and store in a clean
dry place.
SPRAY GUN
• It is important to clean your Spray Gun daily.
• At the end of the day or when the equipment will not be used
any more, disconnect the Spray Gun from the air hose.
• Carefully unscrew the cup. If there is remaining solution, either
close the cup with a cup lid, or pour the remaining
solution into a proper storage container.
• Rinse the cup under warm running water until clean.

• Fill the cup about 1 /4 full with water. Reconnect Spray Gun to
Air Hose. Turn on the M1000 HVLP Unit. Direct the Spray Gun
to a safe area and spray the clean warm water through the Spray
Gun until the cup is empty.
• Turn off the M1000 HVLP Unit. Disconnect the Spray Gun.
Unscrew the cup.
• Wipe all exposed areas dry.
• Unscrew and remove the Air Cap Collar (#1). Rinse the threads
under warm running water. Wipe clean the threads and dry.
Add a small amount of Spray Gun lube to the threads.
• Remove the Air Cap (#2). Rinse under warm running water.
Wipe clean and dry.
• If necessary, remove Air Distributor Plate (#5). Rinse under
warm running water. Wipe clean, dry, and lubricate with Spray
Gun lube.
• Reinstall the three pieces you just removed by reversing the
removal procedure. Your Spray Gun should be ready for the
next use. Store the Spray Gun in the holder on the M1000
HVLP Unit.
• The Solution nozzle (#3) can be removed for additional
cleaning if necessary. Be careful. There is a Solution nozzle
gasket (#4) around the threads of the Solution nozzle. Be sure
to reinstall or leakage will occur. Removal of the Solution nozzle
is not necessary on a daily basis. You should, however, remove it
once a week and rinse under running water. The Solution nozzle
can be easily removed with an adjustable wrench or spanner or
the wrench provided in the Spray Gun Repair Kit. Place the tip
of your adjustable wrench or spanner on the two flat areas of
the nozzle and twist counterclockwise.
• The Solution needle (#10) can also be removed for additional
maintenance. To remove: Turn the Solution Flow Screw anti
or counterclockwise until it comes out of the Spray Gun.
Be careful when removing the Solution Flow Screw as there
is a small spring (#9) around the needle. Do not lose it. This is
important to the operation of the Spray Gun. Set the spring
aside and pull the trigger all the way back until you can grab the
needle with your fingertips and pull it out from the back
of the Spray Gun. Once removed, rinse under warm running
water, clean and dry. Reinstall reversing the removal procedure.
NOTE: Occasionally it is necessary to lubricate the needle (#10)
where it slides through the gland nut (#7). Simply rub a few
drops of Spray Gun lube around the needle shaft and reinsert
into the back of the Spray Gun.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. The M1000 HVLP unit is turned ON and air is blowing out
of the M1000 Spray Gun. This is correct. Air blows constantly
when the HVLP unit is ON.
2. The M1000 HVLP unit is turned ON but the unit is not
operating or blowing air. Check that the unit is plugged in
to a proper electrical source. Be sure there is power at the
electrical source. If there is no problem with the electrical
supply, please call Norvell
technical support.
3. The M1000 HVLP unit is turned ON and the trigger is
pulled back, but no solution comes out. Check that the cup
is screwed firmly to Spray Gun. Check that there is no solution
bubbling or leaking around the cup. Turn M1000 HVLP unit
OFF. Unscrew cup. Be sure that Solution Tube and Disc (#14) is
connected and has not come loose. Locate the two small holes in
the Disc around the Solution tube. Be sure that these two small
holes are not clogged with dried solution. To clean, carefully
insert a pin through each hole ensuring that they are clear. Turn
M1000 HVLP Turbo unit OFF. Remove the Air Cap Collar (#1),
the Air Cap (#2) and the Air Distributor Plate (#5). Remove
Solution nozzle (#3) with an adjustable wrench or spanner. There
is a Solution nozzle gasket (#4) on the Solution nozzle. Do not
lose it. Rinse Solution Nozzle under running water and check for
dried solution that may have blocked the hole. Reinstall Solution
Nozzle Gasket. Reinstall the nozzle assembly. Try spraying again.
If you still have a problem, please call Norvell technical support.
4. There is solution leaking in front of the trigger. With a wrench,
tighten Solution Needle Packing Screw (#7). Do not over tighten.
This can cause Solution needle to stick and not spring back. Try
spraying again. If leaking continues the Solution Needle Packing
needs to be replaced. Remove Solution Needle Packing Screw
(#7). Pry out the Solution Needle Spring (#9). Replace. Reinstall
Solution Needle Packing Screw. Tighten all the way, and then back
off slightly. (1/8 turn) Test spray gun for leakage. If you still have
a problem, please call Norvell technical support.
5. Solution is spraying out of the nozzle without the trigger being
pulled. Immediately turn M1000 HVLP unit OFF and disconnect
spray gun from air hose. Slightly adjust (loosen) Solution Needle
Packing Screw (#7). Test to see if problem is resolved. Check
to see that Needle Spring is installed. (#9). Remove Solution Flow
Screw (#10). Look for Needle Spring around the back of the
Solution Needle. (See diagram). If lost, call for a replacement.
Check Solution nozzle. Remove and clean using item 4, above.
6. Solution is leaking out around the top of the cup. Make sure
that the cup has been screwed firmly to the body of the Spray
Gun. Make sure the threads around the cup are clean and the
threads inside the cup top assembly are clean. Replace the
Cup Gasket (#13) by prying out the old gasket and firmly
pressing a new gasket into position.
