Indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. - Page 4 NOTICE Tipping the spray gun causes the spray gun to clog. Dried spray material also clogs the pressure delivery • tube and fittings. The spray gun does not function when clogging occurs. • When not in use, be sure to disconnect the hose and place the spray gun into the Handi-Hold™ Docking Station on the turbine to avoid tipping.

Your system is now connected. To control the air pressure on the Precision-6 turbine, connect the spray gun and air hose with the turbine. Plug the turbine into a 240 volt power supply. Rotate the control knob to the left hand side to the “Hour Meter” position. Push the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. -
Page 8: Know Your Coatings
Normal triggering of the spray gun during a pass will prevent the turbo system from entering “IDLE MODE”. *All turbine pressures quoted are measured sealed and at the motor outlet. Actual spraying pressures will vary depending on the model and size of the turbine. 4 Know Your Coatings 4.1 Coating Properties Coatings are a blend of resins and additives to create a product that will provide a protective and beautifying surface to your... - Page 9 Chart B Nozzle, Needle And Air Caps For 7500 Series Spray Guns Tip/Needle Size Application Air Cap 0.8MM (.029) Inks, Dyes, Stains, extremely thin viscosity fluids, Water based finishes 1.0MM (.039) All purpose, thin lacquers, thin enamels, Water based finishes, Automotive, Marine, Airplane finishes 1.3MM (.051) All purpose, thin lacquers, thin enamels, Water based finishes, Automotive, Marine, Airplane finishes...

Page 11: Technique
4.3 Technique Like any skill, practice makes perfect. Never try to rush the spray finishing process. Learn the characteristics of the coating you will be spraying. Build up layers of material (3-4 applications or more if necessary). Sand between coats and allow proper drying time between applications. -
Page 12: Using Pressure Pots With Turbine Systems
5 Using Pressure Pots With Turbine Systems There are many advantages to using pressure pots with a turbine system. Apollo Sprayers have made this very easy with our fluid feed systems, 4500 and 4550. Refer to the accessories section of this manual for more information on these and other products. -
Page 13: Testing Air Pressure In Pressure Pot
5.1 Testing Air Pressure In Pressure Pot It is necessary to test the air pressure in the pressure pot to make sure that it is appropriate for the viscosity of material being sprayed and the situation in which it is being sprayed. You don’t want the material coming out too quickly so that you get runs and sags, but you also don’t want it to come out too slowly so that you are spraying very slowly. -

8 Turbine Maintenance and Cleaning Always unplug your turbine from the main electrical supply before doing any maintenance or repairs. After Each Use: Your Apollo turbine system requires very little maintenance. The turbine motor has sealed bearings that are lubricated for life. -
Page 16: Filter Maintenance
8.2 Filter Maintenance Visually check your filters when you remove your pre-filters for cleaning. Check for accumulated material in the filter element. If you suspect they may be dirty, or if you can see material building up, don’t take a chance, remove the filter and hold it up to the light. -
Page 17: Running Multiple Spray Guns With A Turbine
9 Running Multiple Spray Guns With A Turbine All current Apollo Turbine Models have one air hose outlet on the side of the unit and are designed to run one spray gun. It is possible to run a multi-stage turbine system with two spray guns at the same time by installing an garden hose “Y” connector, to the turbine outlet port. -
