Page 3 INTRODUCTION The Earlex HV7000 “Spray Port” is an industrially rated, portable, paint spraying system and is intended for use by professionals. HVLP stands for High Volume, Low Pressure. This is a type of spraying that allows you to spray extremely accurately but without all the overspray that occurs with high pressure tank equipment. In some parts of the world the high pressure systems are banned by law on environmental grounds and HVLP type systems are the only alternative for professional type spraying.

N0151 07_05.qxd 16/01/2006 10:49 Page 6 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Remember to disconnect the unit from the mains power when undertaking any cleaning of the Spray Port. THE SPRAY APPLICATOR MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. IF THE PAINT DRIES INSIDE THE GUN, CLEANING WILL BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND MAY RENDER THE APPLICATOR INOPERABLE.
Check the needle and fluid tip on a regular basis for excessive wear, and replace as necessary. See the cleaning instructions for the correct procedure for removing these parts. Replacement needle sets are available from Earlex LTD. Keep all moving parts lubricated with a light smear of ‘silicone free’ grease.
