AIR SUPPLY CONNECTION
Recommended supply system is shown below (fig.1).
3.1.
Ensure that the spray gun trigger is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.2.
You will require an air pressure of 35psi and an air flow according to the specification.
WARNING! Ensure that the air supply is clean and does not exceed 35psi while operating the
spray gun.
Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the product life, due to excessive wear, and
may cause damage and/or personal injury.
3.3.
Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the spray gun and invalidate your warranty.
3.4.
Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
3.5.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4" I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.6.
Keep hose away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Check hoses for wear,
and make certain that all connections
are secure.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1.
For best results, handle the gun correctly. It should be
held perpendicular to the surface being sprayed and
moved parallel to it. Start the stroke before squeezing
the trigger and release the trigger before finishing the
stroke. This will give more accurate control of the gun
and the material (see right).
4.2.
Spray from a distance of 150mm (6") to 250mm (10"), depending on the material and the atomizing
pressure. The material deposited should always be even and wet. Each stroke must overlap the
preceding stroke to obtain a uniform finish. To reduce over-spray and obtain maximum efficiency,
spray with the lowest possible atomizing air pressure.
4.3.
Controlling the fluid volume: To control the volume of fluid dispensed use the regulation screw.
(fig.2.1). To increase the volume of fluid turn the screw anti-clockwise. To decrease the volume of fluid
turn the screw clockwise. There is no on gun air pressure adjustment as this is automatically increased
as the fluid volume is increased.
4.4.
Controlling the spray pattern: The SSG701 comes with two alternative air caps to give either a cone
shaped spray pattern or a fan shaped pattern. Before changing air caps disconnect the gun from the air
supply. Undo the air cap retaining ring (fig.2.2) and swap the air caps over. When using the fan pattern
remember to rotate the air cap so that its dispensing slot is vertical. Retighten the air cap retaining ring.
