Grounding and Electric
Requirements
WARNING
Page 3
This equipment requires a 220V AC, 50 Hz, 8A circuit,
with a grounding receptacle.
Do not alter the ground prong or use an adapter.
Use 3-wire, 12 AWG, 50 ft (15 m) or short, extension
cords with ground prong.
Setup/Use Options
Turbine sprayers have a variety of user options. Fig. 2.
Fluid Preparation
• Always strain fluid before you spray. This includes
color, reducers and hardeners, if used.

Setup

• When using a turbine spray system, use a slower
drying reducer or thinner to compensate for the
faster drying time caused by the warm air of the tur-
bine. Do not over reduce!
Turbine sprayer performance varies with the viscosity
of the material sprayed and the length of the hose.
To prevent pressure drop, use a short hose.
Paint Reduction
Automotive Finishes
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer's specifi-
cations. To compensate for the faster drying time of tur-
bine systems, use a reducer that is one step slower than
what is used for conventional air spray.
Industrial or Domestic Coatings
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacture's specifi-
cations. If no reductions are given, first thoroughly mix
fluid to be sprayed. Then, gradually mix in the proper
reducer, testing the fluid until you have the correct
spraying consistency.
To test the consistency, remove the stir stick from the
thinned paint. When the paint stream running off the stir
stick breaks into droplets, the first few drops should be
about one second apart.
