3. Intended use
This pressure cup gun is a compressed air operated quality tool for professional
use. It is suitable for processing liquid media in the form of loose containers or
1 litre cans with plastic threads.
4. Features
The effectiveness of the pressure cup gun 3000 FG / FGR is based on overpres-
sure. For this purpose, pressure is built up in the container by means of an air
duct integrated in the gun body. This conveys the material present in the pres-
sure vessel via a riser pipe into the material nozzle. At the material nozzle the
adjustable spraying air causes a mixing with the medium whereby an adjustable
spraying jet develops.
5. Safety instructions
This pressure cup gun is not suitable for alkaline and acidic
media.
Such media must not be processed with this pressure cup gun!!

Protect yourself and the environment by taking appropriate precautions against
the risk of accidents and observe the following instructions in your own inter-
est:
The operator must ensure proper operation.
Do not bring compressed air and/or medium into contact with
skin or eyes.
Never direct the spray jet at animals, people or yourself.
Keep children and pets away from the operating area.
No manipulations, emergency repairs or misappropriations
may be carried out on the pressure cup gun.
Pressure cup guns may only be operated and maintained by
instructed persons.
Repairs must only be carried out by qualified persons.
The following applies to all maintenance and repair work:
It is essential to disconnect the pressure cup gun from the
compressed air connection before carrying out maintenance
or repair work.
Only use original spare parts.
The maximum working pressure must not be exceeded (see
point 1 "Technical data"). The working pressure must be
adjusted via a (filter) pressure reducer.
Only use compressed air as energy source.
The compressed air connection may only be made via quick
coupling.
When working with the pressure cup gun, wear the necessary
protective clothing, protective goggles, work gloves, ear pro-
tection if necessary and a respirator mask.
If there are leaks in the device or other operating faults, the
device must be disconnected from the compressed air supply
immediately and the cause of the fault must be eliminated.
Open fire, sparks or smoking is prohibited.
Beware of flammable materials.
Processed media and cleaning media must be disposed of in
an environmentally friendly manner.
The disposal of the compressed air device must be carried out
according to the valid legal regulations.

6. Installation / end of work
Preparing the gun for the first start-up: Screw in the compressed air connection
and tighten it firmly using a 13 mm open-end wrench or ring spanner, if
necessary glue it in place.
With optional pressure regulator instead of air volume regulation: Screw the
pressure gauge included in the extent of delivery into the pressure regulating
device, if necessary glue it in place.
Start-up: Unscrew the pressure container and fill the medium into the con-
tainer. Alternative: When using a 1 litre can, pierce the protective film and im-
merse the riser pipe in the medium. Then hand-tighten the 1 litre can into the
threaded holder of the pressure cup gun. Make sure that the can is properly
screwed to the gun!!
Then screw the container cover with the gun hand-tight onto the pressure con-
tainer. Do not use any tools for this! Connect the gun to the compressed air
supply via the quick coupling. By pressing the trigger you put the pressure cup
gun into operation.
The spray pattern can be influenced by the following factors::
Material quantity via stop screw/nozzle needle
Adjusting the intake pressure
Spraying air via knurled screw on gun head
For fine jet - add a lot of air
For coarse jet - add little air
Distance between spray nozzle and object
Angle of the gun to the object
End of work: Vent the pressure container using the exhaust air valve (pos. 27 -
only for 3000 FGR). Disconnect the device from the compressed air supply after
each use. Clean the device according to the instructions given in point 7.
Attention:
Never operate the trigger while the container is under pres-
sure but the pressure cup gun is not connected to the com-
pressed air source. This can push the medium into the air ducts
and render the pressure cup gun unusable!
7. Maintenance and care
Clean the compressed air device after each use. Fill the pressure tank with
cleaning medium and flush the pressure cup gun and the hoses (if present) by
starting the device.
We recommend benzine or commercially available turpentine-based clean-ers.
Do not use aggressive cleaning media! Following the maintenance instructions
will ensure a long service life and trouble-free operation for this quality product.

Attention:
Pay attention to a proper disposal of the residues, which arise
during the maintenance and care.
8. Storage
The compressed air tool must be stored under the following conditions:
If residual material is present, store only upright.
Carefully clean the pressure cup gun after each use.
Store in a dry and dust-free place.
Do not expose to liquids and/or aggressive chemicals.
Keep out of the reach of children.
9. Troubleshooting
In all cases of malfunction, please first check whether there is sufficient com-
pressed air available, whether the spray material can still be processed,
whether the expiry date has passed or whether the material has dried out.
Gun sprays messy
Possible cause: Adjustment options not optimally adjusted.
Solution: Operating pressure, spraying air, material quantity to be adjusted
to each other.
Gun does not spray any material
Possible cause: The riser pipe and/or spray nozzle are clogged.
Solution:Clean clogged parts.
Air escapes from the spray nozzle even though the trigger is in its initial
position.
Possible cause: Valve bolt is jammed.
Solution: Pour oil onto the valve bolt and/or into the compressed air intake.
Operate the trigger several times.
Material exits the spray nozzle even though the trigger is in its initial
position.
Possible cause: Nozzle needle is jammed.
Solution: Clean the nozzle needle, apply oil to the nozzle needle and/or
slightly reduce the pressure on the nozzle needle seal using a 9mm wrench.
In order to ensure error-free use, a clamping effect on the nozzle needle seal
must remain. Press the trigger several time.
10. Warranty terms
