Setup Setup Flush Spray Gun Position the Air Cap The air cap and spray tip position determines the direc- tion of the spray pattern. Rotate the air cap (the spray tip rotates with it) as needed to achieve the desired spray pattern direction. Before running any paint through the spray gun: See FIG. 8. 1. Flush the gun with a solvent that is compatible with the fluid to be sprayed, using the lowest possible fluid pressure and grounded metal container. 2. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure; see

Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure Adjust Spray Pattern The air-assisted spray gun combines airless and air spray concepts. The spray tip shapes the fluid into a fan pattern, as does a conventional airless spray tip. Air from the air cap further atomizes the fluid and completes the atomization of the paint tails into the pattern to pro- 1.

Operation To achieve best results when applying fluid: � Keep gun perpendicular and 8 to 10 inches (200 to 250mm) from object being sprayed. � Use smooth, parallel strokes across surface to be sprayed with 50% overlap. See FIG. 12. Incorrect TI0792 no air too little air correct amount of air FIG. 11: Correct Spray Pattern Apply Fluid The spray gun has a built-in lead and lag operation. When triggered, the gun begins emitting air before the fluid is discharged. When the trigger actuation air

Maintenance Maintenance Daily Gun Care CAUTION Methylene chloride with formic or propionic acid is not recommended as a flushing or cleaning solvent with this gun as it will damage aluminum and nylon compo- nents. CAUTION Solvent left in gun air passages could result in a poor quality paint finish. Do not use any cleaning method which may allow solvent into the gun air passages. Do not point the gun up while cleaning it. Do not wipe the gun with a cloth soaked in solvent; ring out the exce
