  • Page 8: Check The Electrical Grounding

    Check the Electrical Grounding (See Fig 7 ) WARNING Proper electrical grounding of every part of your system is essential. For your safety warning section, FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTROSTATIC SHOCK HAZARD , on page 3. Ground the system as explained there. Then check your system as explained below.
  • Page 9: Operation

    WARNING Pressure Relief Procedure To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including splashing in the eyes or on the skin, injury from moving parts or electrostatic shock, always follow this procedure when shutting off the system, when checking or servicing any part of the spray system, when installing, cleaning or changing fluid nozzles, and whenever you stop spraying.
  • Page 10: Adjusting The Turbine Air Pressure

    Adjusting the Turbine Air Pressure WARNING The fan and atomizing air MUST be on before turning on the turbine air . Actuating the turbine air without fan and atomizing air flow could damage the gun and may create hazardous operating conditions and result in serious injury and property damage.
  • Page 11: Clean The Air Cap And Fluid Nozzle

    Clean the Air Cap and Fluid Nozzle Equipment needed: Soft bristle brush (supplied) Solvent compatible with fluid being sprayed Procedure: 1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure Warning on page 9. 2. Remove the air cap assembly and gun shroud. 3. Clean the air cap, fluid nozzle, and front of the gun, using the soft bristle brush and solvent.
  • Page 12: Check For Fluid Leakage

    Check for Fluid Leakage (See Fig 10 ) WARNING If any fluid leakage from the gun is detected, stop spraying IMMEDIATELY!

  • Page 16: Electrical Tests

    The performance of the spray gun is directly affected by the condition of the electrical components contained inside the gun. The electrical tests below can be used to determine the condition of the power supply (40) and the resistor stud (2) as well as the continuity of the electrical path between the components.
  • Page 17: Test Resistor Stud Resistance

    Test Resistor Stud Resistance (See Fig 13 ) Remove the resistor stud. See Air Cap/Nozzle/Resistor Stud Replacement. Check the resistance between the black resistor stud ring contact (D) and the needle con- tact ring (E). You may have to press down on the contact ring (D) in several places to get a good reading.
  • Page 18: Service

    WARNING Installing and servicing this equipment requires access to parts which may cause electrostatic shock or other serious bodily injury if the work is not performed properly. Do not install or service equipment unless you are trained and qualified. NOTE: Check all possible remedies in the Troubleshooting Charts before disassembling the gun.
  • Page 19: Air Cap/Nozzle/Resistor Stud Replacement

    Air Cap/Nozzle/Resistor Stud Replacement CAUTION BE SURE to hold the front end of the gun up while removing the nozzle and resistor stud. This helps drain the gun and prevent any paint or solvent left in the gun from entering the air passages. 1.
  • Page 20: Electrode Replacement

    Electrode Replacement 1. Remove the air cap, nozzle and resistor stud as described in Air Cap/Nozzle/Resistor Replacement. 2. Unscrew and remove the fluid needle/electrode (28) with the electrode tool (47) provided. Be careful not to damage the contact wire. See Fig 17 . If the fluid rod turns, hold the back end of the fluid rod.
  • Page 21: Barrel Removal

    Barrel Removal 1. Carefully loosen the fluid fitting nut (21). Pull the tube (19) out of the fitting. Make sure both ferrules and the nut stay with the tube. See Fig 19 . 2. Remove the jam nut (25) and actuator arm (29). NOTE: The fluid nozzle must be in place when removing or installing the jam nut and actuator arm.
  • Page 22: Barrel Installation

    Barrel Installation 1. Be sure the gaskets (23 & 40a) and spring (11) are in place. See Fig 20 . Replace if damaged. 2. Place the barrel (10) over the power supply (40) and onto the gun body (39). Make sure the fluid rod spring (11) is seated properly.
