INSTALLATION
AIR AND FLUID HOSES
See pages 11, 13, 14 and 15 for installation details.
Use separate filtered regulated air supplies for atomizing and cylinder
air. Connect all the air and fluid hoses at the back of the manifold (1/8"
BSP): (See figure)
• Cylinder air 'C = Cyl' via a control valve. For fast cylinder operation
the control valve should be fitted as close to the gun as possible or
an additional quick exhaust valve installed in the line.
• Separated atomizing and fan "F" & "A" air supply.
• Material hose 'P'. If material re-circulation is required, remove the
plug from port 'R' (35) and plug from spray head (34).
Recommended hose size up to 34 ft. (10 m) long:
Atomization Air = 0.315 in. (8 mm)
Cylinder Air = 0.236 in. (6 mm)
Material = 0.315 in. (8 mm)
Important: The Spray gun must be grounded to dissipate any electrostatic charges
which may be created by fluid or air flows. This can be achieved through the Spray
gun mounting, or conductive air/fluid hoses. Electrical bond from the spray gun to
earth should be checked with an ohmmeter. A resistance of less than 10
recommended.
Important: To ensure that this equipment reaches you in first class condition,
protective coatings have been used. Flush the equipment through with appropriate
solvent before use. Fix the spray gun base plate using mounting stem ref.30 and
secure it with nut ref.29.
SETTING
Check that the gun has all of the O-rings installed
on the sealing surface and check that the locking
device (28) is in the correct position to lock the
spray gun on to the connecting plate.
1. The ATOM 'A' air valve controls the atomizing air
pressure.
2. The FAN 'F' valve controls the spray pattern size.
3. Fluid flow is adjusted with the rear ratchet knob
(25).
For the arrangement of the parts, refer to the
exploded view on page 5.
SB-2-584-H (4/2016)
START UP
1. Turn the needle adjusting knob (25) clockwise
until the needle is fully closed.
2. Turn the FAN 'F' and ATOM 'A' air valves (13)
counter-clockwise to be full open.
3. Use the air cap chart to set the air pressure at the
air regulator to achieve recommended pressures.
4. Turn the adjusting knob (25) counter clockwise to
obtain the desired fluid flow.
5. Test spray. If the finish is too dry or fine, reduce
the airflow by reducing the air inlet pressure or
by screwing the valve ATOM 'A' (13) in clockwise,
or increase the fluid flow using ratchet knob,
rotating counter clockwise.
