    CONTENTS Contents ......1 Safety Precautions ....2 - 4 Getting Started.
  • Page 2: Safety Precautions

    Please read these instructions carefully before using the equipment GROUNDING This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug.
  • Page 3 · Always store the unit inside in a dry location. Store on the floor if in a basement setting. · The operator must wear shoes and the floor must not be wet. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Turbine must not be used in an area contaminated by volatile or flammable materials since sparking can be expected in the normal operation of the motor.
  • Page 4 · Use only genuine Fuji Spray replacement parts. · It is normal for the turbine air outlet (manifold) to become hot during use, please allow your Fuji Spray turbine to cool for a few minutes before removing the hose from the turbine manifold.
  • Page 5: Getting Started

    Please substitute the word ‘Paint’ for whatever finish or coating you are spraying. Your Fuji Spray Gun has been adjusted at the factory and is ready for spray- ing. To clean out any impurities that may have accumulated during assembly or shipping, we recommend spraying a small quantity of clean paint thinner through the gun.
  • Page 6: Spray Pattern

    CHANGING THE SHAPE OF THE FAN A) Loosen the collar 6094. Turn the air cap 6093 to the horizontal position then re-tighten to collar to lock it into place. This setting produces a vertical spray pattern. This pattern is used more than any other by experienced spray painters.
  • Page 7: Distance & Pressure Tube

    SPRAY GUN DISTANCE The spray pattern is fan-shaped, so for a larger sized fan you do not have much choice - you will be at or close to the maximum 8” distance. It’s impos- sible to produce a large spray pattern if you hold the spraygun too close to the object - there is no room for the fan pattern to expand.
  • Page 8: Spraying Techniques

    ACTUAL SPRAYING TECHNIQUES. The spraygun should be held perpendicular to the surface at all times. HOLD THE GUN NO MORE THAN 8” (20cm) AWAY FROM THE SURFACE TO BE PAINTED. But closer is ok. CORRECT METHOD Start moving the spraygun in the direction you want to spray and press the trigger.
  • Page 9: Aircap Selection

    AIRCAP SET SELECTION The fluid nozzle 6082 and needle 8020 MUST always match exactly. Size No.4 is standard with all Fuji sprayguns. No. 3 or No. 4 can be used for any type of fine-finishing application. The difference between the two is that the #4 allows for more fluid output.
  • Page 10: Latex & Viscosity

    A WORD ABOUT LATEX Although latex paint was never originally intended to be sprayed, a professional finish can be achieved by following a few simple rules. (Please do not confuse latex with the newer water-based coatings). For work such as cabinetry or trim, our equipment can be used successfully with latex paint.
  • Page 11: Viscosity Guide

    VISCOSITY GUIDE To test the viscosity of the paint material, fill the viscosity cup to the brim and time how long it takes for the liquid to empty out through the hole. We recommend you experiment to find the ideal viscosity for your application and record the information for the next time.
  • Page 12 If this type of cleaning is done while the paint is still wet in the gun, it should be all that is necessary to keep the gun clean enough for next time. Do not leave liquids in the cup overnight or for long periods. The Gravity Gun can be cleaned without hooking up to the hose.
  • Page 13: Finish Problems

    FINISH PROBLEMS ORANGE PEEL - If the finish is rough and resembles orange peel then the material is too thick. (Or perhaps you have the air control valve turned down - please check that it is fully open). The ‘paint’ will not atomize properly and the surface will be spotty.
  • Page 14: Spraygun Problems

    SPRAYGUN PROBLEMS NO PAINT (OR VERY LITTLE PAINT) THIS IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED - The air passing through the plastic tube 2024 to pressurize the cup is blocked. This means that either the tube itself, the check valve, or one of the two nipples 2023 is blocked.
  • Page 15 THE TRIGGER IS SLUGGISH • The needle packing is too tight - see ADJUSTING THE NEEDLE PACKING. Page 14 • Bent needle • The valve seal 8025 is damaged - replace POOR SPRAY PATTERN • Damaged needle or nozzle • Nozzle is clogged •...
  • Page 16: Needle Packing & Seals

    ADJUSTING THE NEEDLE PACKING The needle packing must be tight enough to prevent any leakage of paint material. It should however, allow the needle to glide smoothly through it. If the packing is too loose, you will see a small amount of paint where the needle passes through the small needle packing nut 8008.
  • Page 17: Pressure Pot Use

    If you use a 4-stage Turbine or higher, a compressor is NOT needed to pressurize the Fuji Spray 2 Qt. Pressure Pot. The Fuji Spray 2 Qt. Pressure Pot Assembly 5432 has unique features. These features combined with additional pressure from the Fuji Spray 4-stage Turbine, allows the user to connect the larger capacity pot to the Turbine system without the need for a compressor.
  • Page 18: Turbine Care And Maintenance

    TURBINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE FUJI SPRAY PLATINUM SERIES TURBINES All PLATINUM Turbines are built with the Fuji Spray Heat Dissipation Box™. Excess heat is channeled directly to this outlet located at rear of the case. Note: There is no maintenance required for the Heat Dissipation Box™.
  • Page 22: Spray Gun Holder

    GUN HOLDER & FILLING STATION GUN HOLDER INSTALLATION The 2 holes on the top of the Holder require the 2 Machine Screws and Washers. These Screws fit into Threaded Inserts in the Metal Case. Do not over tighten - snug is fine. The single Silver-Colored Screw must be installed to the single hole on the side of the Gun Holder.
