WARNING Maximum Fluid Pressure 103 Bar (1500 PSI) Figure 2-1 Kinetix Air-Assisted Airless Automatic Electrostatic Spray Gun Note: Refer to Safety Label on page 1-5 for a description of the warning symbols. Part 334593-04 E 2019 Nordson Corporation...
NOTE: The seals in the spray gun are compatible with most coatings. If the coating material you use damages the seals, contact your Nordson Corporation representative for compatible replacements. Part 334593-04 E 2019 Nordson Corporation...
Restrictors are pre-atomization devices that do not normally reduce flow, but aid in atomization and tend to reduce the pattern width. If a restrictor is used, the nozzle gasket is removed and replaced with a restrictor. Part 334593-04 E 2019 Nordson Corporation...
NOTE: A gasket or gasket with restrictor and the PTFE retaining washer are required. For assistance in selecting the appropriate nozzle and restrictor for your application, contact your Nordson Corporation representative. Before installation, make sure you have the appropriate nozzle; gasket or gasket with restrictor;...
Installation Air and Fluid Hose Connections Spray gun fittings accept standard Nordson fluid hoses. Air Hose The air hoses supplying air to the spray gun should be no longer than 7.62 m (25 ft). The atomizing air hoses should have a minimum 6.4-mm (...
NOTE: The standard fluid hose will work well for most coating materials. The effectiveness of the electrostatics may diminish when coating resistivities fall below 25 megohms/cm. The optional 25-ft long fluid hose will improve the electrostatic charge by isolating the fluid column. Part 334593-04 E 2019 Nordson Corporation...

Failure to observe this warning could result in an injection injury. CAUTION: Use a non-conductive solvent compatible with your coating material. Cleaning with conductive solvents can result in carbon tracking and loss of kV. Part 334593-04 E 2019 Nordson Corporation...
Maintenance CAUTION: Use only a Nordson cleaning brush to clean the fluid tip and cap. Using metal tools will damage the fluid tip and air cap, causing faulty spray patterns. 5. Clean the nozzle and restrictor, if used. a. Remove the retaining ring and air cap.
Cleaning with conductive solvents can result in carbon tracking and loss of kV. CAUTION: Use only a Nordson cleaning brush to clean the fluid tip and air cap. Using metal tools will damage the fluid tip and air cap, causing faulty spray patterns.
Remove all the seals before soaking any parts in solvent. Electrostatic System Checks Use a Nordson non-loading kV meter to perform checks on the electrostatic system, and a megohmmeter to check the resistance values on the spray gun. These checks ensure that the operator, electrostatic spray gun, electrostatic power supply, and all conductive material within the spray area are connected to a true earth ground.
These procedures cover only the most common problems that you may encounter. If you cannot solve the problem with the information given here, contact your local Nordson representative for help. This section contains troubleshooting procedures for common spray gun problems, spray pattern and film-build faults, and electrostatics.
