Accessories for Performance Series 1650e

Airless Tip Selection
Tips are selected by the orifice size and fan width. The proper
selection is determined by the fan width required for a specific job
and by the orifice size that will supply the desired amount of fluid and
accomplish proper atomization.
For light viscosity fluids, smaller orifice tips generally are desired. For
heavier viscosity materials, larger orifice tips are preferred. Please
refer to the chart below.
i
Do not exceed the sprayer's recommended tip size.
The following chart indicates the most common sizes and the
appropriate materials to be sprayed.
Tip Size Spray Material
.011 – .013 Lacquers and stains
.015 – .019 Oil and latex
.021 – .026 Heavy bodied latex and block llers
Fan widths measuring 8" to 12" (20 to 30 cm) are preferred because
they offer more control while spraying and are less likely to plug.

Selection of tip

To achieve faultless and rational working, the selection of the tip is of the greatest importance.
In many cases the correct tip can only be determined by means of a spraying test.
Some rules for this:
The spray jet must be even.
If streaks appear in the spray jet the spraying pressure is either too low or the viscosity of the coating material to high.
Remedy: Increase pressure or dilute coating material. Each pump conveys a certain quantity in proportion to the size of the tip:
The following principle is valid:
There is a large range of tips with various spraying angles.

Servicing and cleaning of Airless hard-metal tips

Standard tips
If a different tip type has been fitted, then clean it according to manufacturer's instructions.
The tip has a bore processed with the greatest precision. Careful handling is necessary to achieve long durability. Do not forget the fact that the
hard-metal insert is brittle! Never throw the tip or handle with sharp metal objects.
The following points must be observed to keep the tip clean and ready for use:
1. Turn the relief valve handle fully counterclockwise (k Circulation).
2. Switch off the gasoline engine.
3. Dismount the tip from the spray gun.
4. Place tip in an appropriate cleaning agent until all coating material residue is dissolved.
5. If there is pressure air, blow out tip.
6. Remove any residue by means of a sharp wooden rod (toothpick).
7. Check the tip with the help of a magnifying glass and, if necessary, repeat points 4 to 6.
