Introduction Introduction How the Electrostatic AA Operating the Electrostatics Spray Gun Works To operate the electrostatics, apply air pressure to the gun manifold’s turbine air fitting (TA) through a Graco grounded air hose. The air enters the manifold and is directed to the inlet of the power supply turbine. The air spins the turbine, which then provides electrical power to the internal high voltage power supply. The fluid is WARNING charged by the spray gun electrode. The charged flu
