Grounding
WARNING
Improper installation or alteration of the grounding
plug will result in a risk of electric shock, fire, or
explosion that could cause serious injury or death.
D This equipment requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz, 15A
circuit with a grounding receptacle. See Fig. 2.
D Do not alter the ground prong or use an adapter.
D Extension cord must be 3-wire, 12 AWG, no longer
than 100 ft (30 m).

Setup/Use Options
The HVLP compressor/cart has a variety of user
options. See Fig. 3.
NOTES:
D See Turbine Sprayer manual 309240 for informa-
tion on turbine setup and operation.

309205 for information on turbine spray gun setup
and operation.

Prepare the Fluid
D Always strain the fluid before you spray; this
includes color, reducer, and hardeners if used.
D 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.
CAUTION
The performance of the turbine sprayer varies with
the viscosity of the material and the length of the
hose. Keep the hose short to prevent pressure drop.
Paint Reduction — Automotive Type Finishes
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer's speci-
fications. To compensate for the faster drying time of
turbine systems, use a reducer that is one step slower
than what is used for conventional air spray.
Paint Reduction — Industrial or Domestic
Coatings
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer's speci-
fications. If no reductions are given, first thoroughly
mix the fluid to be sprayed, then gradually mix in the
proper reducer. Test the fluid until you have the correct
spraying consistency.
To test the consistency, remove the stir stick from the
thinned paint. When the paint stream running off the
stir stick breaks into droplets, the first few drops should
be about one second apart.
