INSTRUCTIONS FOR
GRAVITY SPRAY GUN 1.3MM SET-UP
FINISHING COAT
MODEL NO: HP01
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these
instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
9Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations, as well as the potential hazards of the spray gun.
WARNING! Disconnect the spray gun from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
9Maintain the spray gun in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
9Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9Locate the spray gun in a suitable work area, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and ensure that there is
adequate ventilation and lighting.
9Keep the spray gun clean for best and safest performance.
9Ensure the air system has sufficient output for the spray gun air consumption (see specification).
9Wear approved respiratory protection, safety eye goggles and skin protection.
9Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and tie back long hair.
9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
9When gun is not in use ensure the air supply is disconnected.
9Avoid unintentional operation.
8DO NOT paint were there is any source, or possible source, of ignition as paint mist is extremely flammable.
8DO NOT point spray gun at yourself or at other persons or animals.
8DO NOT carry the spray gun by the air hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
8DO NOT use the spray gun for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
8DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the spray gun.
8DO NOT get the spray gun wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
8DO NOT operate gun if any parts are missing or damaged as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
8DO NOT direct air from the air hose at yourself or others.
2. INTRODUCTION
Gravity feed spray gun designed for applying clear nishing coats. Air cap engineered to deliver high mist pressure for rapid paint application
and extended working distance. Stainless steel air and laquer ow channels provides long life. Features air and laquer ow controls for ne
adjustment of spray pattern.

4. AIR SUPPLY
4.1. For recommended hook-up, see diagram (fig.1). Ensure the air valve is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
4.2. You will require an air supply capable of providing a pressure 29 to 32psi and an air volume of 10.1cfm to operate the gun.
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and is regulated to a maximum of 32psi. Too high an air pressure and unclean
air will shorten the life of the gun due to excessive wear and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.3. Drain the air supply tank and pressure regulator daily. Water in the air line will damage the gun and contaminate the paint.
4.4. Clean the compressor air inlet filter weekly.
4.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter
should be 10mm (3/8”) I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.7. Couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the spray gun. To overcome this, connect a leader
hose to the spray gun (Sealey ref: AH2R or AH2R/38). A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the
air line recoil hose. See fig.1 & fig.2.
5. OPERATION
5.1. For best results, the gun should be held perpendicular to the surface being sprayed and moved parallel to it. Start the stroke before
squeezing the trigger and release the trigger before finishing the stroke. This will enable you to accurately control the gun and material (fig.3).
5.2. Spray from a distance of about 150mm to 250mm depending on the material and the atomizing pressure. The material deposited
should always be even and wet. Each stroke must overlap the preceding stroke to obtain a uniform finish. To reduce over-spray and
obtain maximum efficiency, spray with the lowest possible atomising air pressure.
5.3. Controlling the fan spray and the fluid.
a) Use the needle (paint) adjustment knob (fig.4.2) to increase or decrease the amount of paint flow.
b) The atomizing air flow is controlled by knob (4.1). The volume of air input is controlled by knob (4.3).
c) As width of spray is increased more material must pass through the gun to obtain the same coverage on the increased area.
d) Turn the air nozzle (4.4) to achieve a horizontal or vertical fan spray. Lock the nozzle with retaining ring (4.5).
5.4. The spray pattern of the gun is variable from round to flat with all patterns in between. In normal operation, the wings on the nozzle
are horizontal. See fig.5 This provides a vertical fan-shaped pattern which gives maximum uniform and even coverage when
moving the gun back and forth, parallel to the work surface.

6. CLEANING
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THE GUN IS CORRECTLY CLEANED AFTER EACH
USE.
Disconnect from the air supply before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
6.1. Cleaning the gun
6.1.1. Immerse the front end of the gun only in solvent. The solvent should just cover the fluid connection. (fig.5).
6.1.2. Use a bristle brush and solvent to wash off accumulated paint.
6.1.3. Do not immerse the entire gun in solvent as this will cause lubricants on the rubber seals to dissolve. Dirty solvent may also clog
narrow passages in the gun.
6.1.4. Flush the gun through with clean solvent.
6.1.5. Wipe the outside of the gun with a dampened solvent rag.
6.2. Air nozzle, fluid nozzle and needle assembly
6.2.1. To clean the nozzles, soak them in solvent to dissolve any dried material then blow them clean with air. Handle all nozzles carefully
and do not make any alterations in the gun.
6.2.2. If you need to probe the holes in the nozzles, be sure to use a tool that is softer than brass; do not use metal instruments.
6.2.3. Adjust the fluid needle valve so that when the gun is triggered, air flow occurs before fluid flow.
6.3. Maintenance
6.3.1. Disassemble using the supplied spanner, socket and hex key.
6.3.2. Take care when re-assembling. Firstly screw parts hand tight to avoid cross-threading then tighten with spanner. If a part cannot easily
be turned by hand, check that you have the correct part, or unscrew, realign and try again. DO NOT use excessive force when
re-assembling.
6.3.3. Lubricate the gun daily with a light machine oil.
6.3.4. If you change the nozzle size, ensure the complete nozzle set is exchanged. Insert paint nozzle before putting the paint needle in.
