TURBINE GUN SET-UP
Remove all components from carton, identify them and become familiar with their purpose.
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
NEEDLE/NOZZLE SELECTION
It is important to remember that the highly effi cient design of this turbine painting system
delivers a much higher volume of air to the Turbine paint gun than a conventional compressed air
paint gun. As result, the required Needle/Nozzle sizes for the Turbine gun will be much smaller
than those of a conventional, compressed air paint gun when spraying the same material. The
Eastwood Turbine Gun is assembled with a 0.8mm Needle/Nozzle set and Air Cap as standard.
All others denoted by *(1.0mm, 1.3mm, 1.5mm & 1.8mm) are available separately.
Use the following chart as a guide for selecting the correct Needle/Nozzle & Air Cap sizes:

Fine Metallics & Pearls
Waterbourne-Basecoats
Enviro-Base

PAINT CUP SET-UP
•
For most coatings using the standard, as supplied 0.8mm or optional 1.0mm or 1.3mm
nozzle, the Turbine Paint Gun may be used as confi gured.
•
If using thicker coatings requiring the use of the optional 1.5mm or 1.8mm Needle/Nozzle
sets or if additional Turbine Gun performance is desired, install the optional Air Feed
Connector system.
To install:
- Remove the Stainless Steel Screw located on the left side of the Gun Body and
replace it with the barbed air fi tting (Fig A).
- Select the Paint Gun Lid with the barbed air fi tting.
- Slip the Clear Plastic Hose onto both barbed air fi ttings making sure the black half
of the check valve is directed toward the paint gun cup (Fig B).
•
Attach Paint Cup by threading onto the male paint inlet fi tting at the top of the gun (Fig C).
NOTE: Several popular disposable paint cup adapter systems fi tting the common M16x 1.5
thread will work well on this gun.
TURBINE & HOSE SET-UP
•
Attach the Air Supply Hose to the Turbine Unit:
- Thread the female fi tting on the end of the Air Supply Hose onto the male fi tting of
the lower left side of the Turbine Unit (Fig D).
- Hand-tighten securely.
•
Connect opposite end of Air Supply Hose to Paint Gun:
- Pull back on the spring-loaded ring of the larger female quick-disconnect fi tting.
- Slip in the, smaller male quick-disconnect fi tting in the bottom of the Paint Gun.
- Release ring (Fig E). The gun should be connected to hose. Pull gently to test.
NOTE: an identical fi tting is attached to the top of the Turbine Unit for gun storage.
