ZEFIRO WORKING PRINCIPLE The.LARIUS.ZEFIRO.unit.is.defined.“electric.piston.pump”.. sent.to.the.gun.through.the.flexible.hose. An.electric.piston.pump.is.used.for.high.pressure.painting.without. An.electronic.device.located.next.to.the.reduction.box,.is.used. air.(from this process derives the term ”airless”). to.regulate.and.control.the.pressure.of.the.material.leaving.the. The. pump. is. controlled. by. an. electric. motor. coupled. with. a. pump..When.the.pump.reaches.the.set.value,.the.motor.stops.and. reduction.gear. starts.again.when.the.value.decreases.. A.cam.shaft.and.a.connecting.rod.allow.to.obtain.the.reciprocating. A.safety.valve.avoiding.overpressure,.guarantees.the.total.reliability. motion.necessary.to.the.working.of.the.“pumping.group”.piston.. of.the.equipment. The.piston.movement.produces.a.“vacuum”..

ZEFIRO PREPARATION OF THE PAINT •. Open.the.safety-.relief.valve.(G2).(turn clockwise so as the pin slides on the cam track). •.. Make.sure.the.product.is.suitable.to.be.used.with.a.spray. gun.. •.. Mix.and.filter.the.product.before.using.it..For.filtration,.use. CLOSE-MESH.(ref. 214).and.LARGE-MESH.(ref.215).LA- RIUS METEX.braids. Make sure the product to be used is compatible with the materials employed for manufacturing the equipment (stainless steel and aluminium).
ZEFIRO •. Make.sure.the.product.recycles.from.the.return.tube.(G4). •. Now.the.machine.carries.on.sucking.the.product.till.the.flexible. hose.is.full,.up.to.the.gun..Then.it.will.stop.automatically. SPRAY ADJUSTMENT •. Slowly.turn.clockwise.the.pressure.control.knob.to.reach.the. pressure.value.in.order.to.ensure.a.good.atomization.of.the. product. •. An.irregular.and.marked.spray.on.the.sides.indicates.a.low. working.pressure...On.the.contrary,.a.too.high.pressure.causes. a.high.fog.(“overspray”).and.waste.of.product. •. In.order.to.avoid.overthickness.of.paint,.let.the.gun.advance. sideways.(right-left).when.spraying. •. Always.paint.with.regular.parallel.bands.coats. •. Keep.a.safety.and.constant.distance.between.the.gun.and.the. support.to.be.painted.and.also.keep.yourselves.perpendicular. to.it. NEVER point the spray gun at yourselves or at other people. The contact with the casting can cause serious injuries.
