Operation Adjust the Spray Pattern OUT (narrower pattern) IN (wider pattern) 1. Do not turn on atomizing air supply. Fluid pressure is controlled by the air pressure supplied to the pump (pump air regulator). Set fluid pressure at low starting pressure. For low viscosity fluids (less than 25 sec, #2 Zahn cup) with lower percent solids (typi- cally less than 40%), start at 300 psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar) at pump outlet.
Maintenance Shutdown Flushing Read all Warnings. Follow all Grounding instructions. See page 17. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 18. Flush the pump: Always flush the pump before the fluid dries on the dis- placement rod. See Flushing on page 21. •...
