2.1 How Your HVLP Turbine System Works

Your turbine system has three components: the turbine unit (1), spray gun (2) and air hose (3). The turbine unit, when
connected to the correct electrical power supply and with the on/off switch in the "on" position, provides a continuous sourc e of
clean, warm, dry, High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) air. The air hose connects the turbine unit to the spray gun. Air flows
through the hose to the nozzle of the specially designed TrueHVLP™ spray gun. Atomization of the coating is achieved when
the air mixes with the stream of fluid passing through the tip/nozzle. This low pressure atomization principle achieves minimum
misting (overspray) to the spray environment.

2.2 How Your Spray Gun Works

Apollo offers two types of Turbine Spray Guns. The 5000 series and the 7500 series. The 5000 series spray guns are bleeder
style. When the turbine blower is turned "on", air will constantly flow through the air cap. The 7500 series spray guns are non-
bleeder style. When the turbine blower is turned "on", air will only flow through the air cap when the trigger on the spray gun
is activated or pulled back. Air also flows through the air feed tube to pressurize the cup and deliver fluid to the tip/nozzle.
When the paint flow screw is opened and the trigger pulled back, fluid flows through the tip/nozzle mixing with the air flow
delivered from the air cap and projects a fine atomized mist to your work piece. Spray pattern control will vary depending on
the spray gun model. Consult your individual spray gun manual for detailed operation and maintenance of your spray gun.

2.3 Preparing To Use Your HVLP Turbine System

Connect the air hose to the turbine. Pull back the spring loaded quick disconnect coupler and insert the male connector on
the air hose into the turbine connector. Release the ring. Your air hose will be locked into place. To release the air hose, pull
(1) Spray Gun Lube
(1) Cleaning Brush
(1) Electric Cord
(2) Quick Coupler (1x Handi-Hold™) (1x Hose
Coupler)
