General Spraying Techniques

•

Select proper fluid set. To determine correct fluid set

see charts on page 8.

•

When fluid is first applied, start with fluid valve and

maximum air and the knob set to the FAN spray pat-

tern position. Then adjust as needed. See Fig. 8 for

pattern size adjustment.

•

Keep gun perpendicular to surface and maintain

consistent distance of approximately 6 to 8 inches

(150 to 200 mm) from object being sprayed. Fig. 15.

•

Always have spray gun in motion before triggering.

Move spray gun across workplace in straight,

smooth, stroke, maintaining speed and distance.

Release trigger at end of stroke.

•

To obtain an even finish, overlap previous strokes by

50%.

•

Apply full, wet coat whenever possible.
