IMPORTANT:
The most efficient atomization air pressure is the lowest air pressure that will properly atomize the paint.
This will minimize the overspray, deposit more paint on the surface and eliminate paint wastage. If a
faster coverage is necessary, first increase fluid pressure and then adjust atomization air pressure. If a
slower coverage is more desirable, first reduce the fluid pressure and then adjust atomization air pressure.
Always attempt to maintain the lowest pressures for maximum efficiency.
For ease of removing cup cover and to prevent leakage, always thoroughly grease the threads on cup.
CLEANING:
Open air release valve on pressure cup cover. Reduce pressure in cup until gauge reads zero, (turn knob
counter-clockwise).
Loosen cup cover and set fluid tube on angle in cup.
Loosen air nozzle two turns, place cloth over nozzle and pull the trigger to force paint into cup. Remove
cover and clean cup and cover thoroughly.
With approximately 1 /4 to 1 /2 cup of clean solvent, attach cover and set fluid pressure at approximately
10 P.S.I.
Close air adjusting valve at spray gun.
Trigger gun and allow solvent to flow into a container until it flow clear.
Remove solvent; then clean air nozzle. If any dirt appears in orifice, clean with tooth pick; wire will
damage nozzle. Blow nozzle and cup dry. Replace nozzle and cover loosely.
Never allow solvent to remain in cup; solvent vapors tend to reduce service life of gasket. Separate
storage of cup and cover recommended.
CAUTION:
If the cup is accidentally tipped over or held at too great an angle, fluid will load up the under side of cup
cover, and leak into regulator. In the event this happens: Clean immediately.
Internal Mix Air Nozzle Application
Operation:
The internal mix air nozzle accomplishes atomization by mixing the air and fluid within the air nozzle.
NOTE: The steps are the same as with external mix nozzles, except the air and fluid pressure settings are
different.
Close air adjusting valve by turning clockwise. Set air pressure at oil and water extractor (transformer) to
approximately 45 P.S.I.
Open air adjusting valve and allow air to enter the gun.
Set fluid pressure at 20 lbs. and adjust higher or lower until desired atomization is effected. Air pressure
should be alternately adjusted.
