Fluid Preparation
•
Strain fluids before you spray. This includes color,
reducers and hardeners.
•
Use a slower drying reducer or thinner to compen-
sate for the faster drying time caused by the warm air
of the turbine. Do not over reduce
•
Sprayer performance varies with the viscosity of the
material sprayed and the length of the hose. To pre-
vent pressure drop, use hose supplied with sprayer.
•
Most material manufacturers provide recommenda-
tions for their materials. Follow these recommenda-
tions.
Connect Fluid and Air Supply
Spray Gun with Siphon Cup
1. Connect air hose to sprayer.
Hand tighten.
2. Connect air hose from sprayer to
inlet fitting of gun.
3. Fill cup 3/4 full. Install cover. Latch
the gun cup cover to secure it to
siphon cup. See HVLP EDGE Gun
manual 313317 for operation
instructions.

Pressure Relief Procedure
The spray gun siphon cup is pressurized by the gun
air supply. To reduce the risk of serious injury from
pressurized fluid or accidental spray from gun, always
turn off the air supply to the spray gun before remov-
ing the siphon cup.
1. Turn off sprayer.
2. Unplug sprayer.
3. Unlatch cup cover; loosen or remove cup from cover
to relieve pressure.
Operation Tips
ti13082a
Sparks can be expected during normal operation of
motor. These sparks can ignite fumes from flammable
liquids, dust particles, and other flammable sub-
stances in the spray area.
•
Use additional hose if necessary, and ensure the
sprayer is operated in clean, dry, well ventilated
area.
•
Never use sprayer inside spray booth.

•
Turn sprayer on a few minutes before spraying to
allow warm-up.
•
Ensure sprayer filter is clean before operating. Clean
filter, page 8.
•
To adjust spray gun pattern, see HVLP EDGE Gun
manual 313317.
ti12872a
•
To get proper adhesion, ensure surface is completely
clean.
•
Always spray with the least amount of pressure
required to provide the desired spray pattern and rate
of application. Spraying at pressures higher than nec-
essary wastes paint and can result in an orange peel
finish.
