Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper installation of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the green grounding wire to either at blade terminal. The wire with
insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.
Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as
to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided. If the plug will not t the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualied electrician.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Property
damage and/or severe injury can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided
to keep the air within the spray area free from
accumulation of ammable vapors.
• Turbine contains sparking parts. Turbine must
be placed in a well ventilated area at maximum
distance from the spray area.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity, open ames,
pilot lights, hot objects, cigarettes, and sparks from connecting
and disconnecting power cords and working light switches.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a ashpoint below
70° F (21°C). A uid’s ashpoint is the temperature at which
vapors from the uid could ignite if exposed to a ame or spark.
• Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in working
order.
• The power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer’s safety precautions
IMPORTANT: Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on
the product. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current the product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. A 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension cord
is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A after
the cord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A
would indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.
NOTE: More than 100 feet of extension cord is not
recommended. Use more paint hose, not more
extension cord. Shorter extension cords will assure
maximum electrical power for proper operation.
Service
Should your spray system need service during the warranty period,
return your unit and the proof of purchase to the distributor where it was
purchased. At our option, the unit will be repaired or replaced. In a

This High Volume/Low Pressure (HVLP) spray system is
designed for applying coatings to surfaces that can be sprayed
faster than brushing or rolling and are too small for traditional
airless sprayers. Components of this system include a power
switch, a power cord, a lter warning light, a circuit breaker
switch, a dual ltration system, a cup holder, an air hose, and an
air outlet.
Using an HVLP Spray System
Refer to the following information to operate and understand your
HVLP spray system.
Setup
Use the following procedure to set up your HVLP spray system
for operation.
1. Plug the turbine power cord into a grounded, 3-slot
receptacle.
Keep the turbine at the maximum possible distance
from the spray area to safeguard against explosion
or fire that may be caused by sparking electrical
parts.
2. Prepare your spray gun for operation. Refer to your spray
gun manual for material preparation, setup, and spraying
information.
3. Attach the air hose to the air outlet on the turbine.
4. Attach the air hose to the air inlet on your spray gun.
5. Turn on the turbine and begin spraying.
Dual Filtration System
The turbine has two different air lters— one for atomizing air
and one for cooling air. The atomizing air lter is a two-stage,
ne mesh lter designed to trap particles that may damage your
nish. The atomizing air is discharged through the nozzle of the
spray gun where it atomizes the coating material. The cooling air
lter is a coarse mesh lter designed to allow the proper amount
of air ow through the turbine for cooling purposes. Cooling air
is exhausted through the cooling air discharge on the front of the
turbine.
With this HVLP spray system, you can achieve the highest quality
professional nish possible with little or no preparation or setup
time. Please review all the information contained in this manual
before operating the system.
The lter warning system on your turbine consists of a red lter
warning light on the front control panel and an air ow switch
inside the turbine. When the air ow switch does not detect the
appropriate amount of air owing through the turbine, the lter
warning light will come on to indicate that it is time to clean or
IMPORTANT: Clean filters regularly. Clogged filters can
cause excessive heat and possibly damage the turbine.

Use the following procedures to keep your HVLP spray system
running properly.
Cleaning/Replacing the Filters
1. Remove each lter by grabbing them and pulling them
straight out of the lter cans on the turbine. This will not
damage the lters.
2. Clean the lters. Either tap the lters to knock out the
contaminants or use pressurized air to blow out the
contaminants. For material that is not blown or knocked
loose easily, soak the lters in soapy water or mineral
spirits. Allow the lters to dry completely before placing
them back in the turbine.
After several cleanings, it may become necessary to replace the
lters. Refer to the parts list near the end of this manual for the
lter replacement kit part number.
Cleaning the Air Hoses
1. Periodically wipe the outer surface of the air hose with a
damp cloth to keep clean.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT submerge into or flush the air hose
with water or any chemical.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use methylethylketon (MEK),
naphtha, mineral spirits, paint thinner, xylol/xylene, or toluel/
toluene to clean the air hose. Exposure over time could
cause damage to the hose.
