See page 10 for additional adapter and fitting kits.
See pages 11, 13, 14 and 15 for installation details.
Use separate filtered regulated air supplies for atomizing and cylinder
air. Connect all the air and fluid hoses at the back of the manifold (1/8”
BSP): (See figure)
• Cylinder air ‘C = Cyl’ via a control valve. For fast cylinder operation
the control valve should be fitted as close to the gun as possible or
an additional quick exhaust valve installed in the line.
• Separated atomizing and fan “F” & “A” air supply.
• Material hose ‘P’. If material re-circulation is required, remove the
plug from port ‘R’ (35) and plug from spray head (34).
Recommended hose size up to 34 ft. (10 m) long:
Atomization Air = 0.315 in. (8 mm)
Cylinder Air = 0.236 in. (6 mm)
Material = 0.315 in. (8 mm)
Important: The Spray gun must be grounded to dissipate any electrostatic charges
which may be created by fluid or air flows. This can be achieved through the Spray
gun mounting, or conductive air/fluid hoses. Electrical bond from the spray gun to
earth should be checked with an ohmmeter. A resistance of less than 106 Ohms is
recommended.

TOP Face of Manifold
Important: To ensure that this equipment reaches you in first class condition,
protective coatings have been used. Flush the equipment through with appropriate
solvent before use. Fix the spray gun base plate using mounting stem ref.30 and
secure it with nut ref.29.
SETTING
Check that the gun has all of the O-rings installed
on the sealing surface and check that the locking
device (28) is in the correct position to lock the
spray gun on to the connecting plate.
1. The ATOM ‘A’ air valve controls the atomizing air
pressure.
2. The FAN ‘F’ valve controls the spray pattern size.
3. Fluid flow is adjusted with the rear ratchet knob
(25).
For the arrangement of the parts, refer to the
exploded view on page 5.
START UP
1. Turn the needle adjusting knob (25) clockwise
until the needle is fully closed.
2. Turn the FAN ‘F’ and ATOM ‘A’ air valves (13)
counter-clockwise to be full open.
3. Use the air cap chart to set the air pressure at the
air regulator to achieve recommended pressures.
4. Turn the adjusting knob (25) counter clockwise to
obtain the desired fluid flow.
5. Test spray. If the finish is too dry or fine, reduce
the airflow by reducing the air inlet pressure or
by screwing the valve ATOM ‘A’ (13) in clockwise,
or increase the fluid flow using ratchet knob,
rotating counter clockwise.

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
START UP (continued)
6. If the finish is too wet, turn the ratchet knob (25)
in clockwise to reduce the fluid flow, or reduce
the fluid pressure. If the atomization is too
coarse, increase inlet air pressure, or reduce fluid
flow.
7. The pattern size can be reduced by turning
adjusting valve FAN ‘F’ (13) clockwise.
8. The spray pattern will give the best results when
perpendicular to the target.
MAINTENANCE
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Turn off air and coating supply and
relieve pressure in the supply lines, or
disconnect from airline and fluid line.
1. Unlock the spray gun from the base plate, remove
it, and if available re-attach an alternative gun.
Now the spray gun maintenance can be done
outside the spray booth while production is still
continuing.
9. The recommended spray distance is 6’’ to 8’’
(150-220 mm).
10. Spray edges first. Overlap each stroke a
minimum of 50%. Move gun at a constant
speed.
11. Always turn off air and fluid supply and relieve
pressure and clean down when gun is not in
use.
Remove the tip (2) and its air separator ring (3) by
unscrewing counter- clockwise with 10mm
hexagonal spanner.
Unscrew the adjusting needle knob (25) fully in
counter-clockwise rotation, push the needle from
the front of the spay gun, carefully so to avoid
damage the needle end, then pull out the needle
(18) from the back.
If necessary, replace the needle and the tip, first
refitting the tip with its air separator ring
(recommended torque between 9,5 to 12 Nm).
2. Remove air cap (1) and clean. If any of the holes
in the cap are blocked with coating material use
a toothpick to clean. Never use metal wire which
could damage the cap and produce distorted
spray patterns
3. Ensure the nozzle of the fluid tip (2) is clean and
free from damage. Any build up of dried paint
can distort the spray pattern.
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
Turn off air and coating supply and
relieve pressure in the supply lines,
before any maintenance operation.
TIP (2) & NEEDLE (18)
Remove the air cap (1) by unscrewing its retaining
ring counter- clockwise, remove the index ring if it
remains on the gun head (if fitted and used).
Lubricate all the surface of the needle which will be
in contact with the packing and o ring. Slide the
needle into the spray gun from the back. Fit the
needle springs with its plastic pad (22,23,24) and
replace the needle adjusting knob (25).
PACKING SEAL (9)
Unscrew the air cap (1), tip (2) and its air separator
ring (3).
Unscrew the 4 screws (6) to disassemble the gun
head (8). Push back the packing seal (9) using a
5,5mm diameter rod from the front of the gun head.
Clean the packing location hole carefully with
adequate solvent.
Fit a new packing seal (9) U face towards the fluid
passage.

FAN & ATOM AIR VALVE (13)
Before assembling, check the air valve
is in fully open position by unscrewing
it counter-clockwise.
PISTON (15), O RING (16, 14 & 15C)
Unscrew the rear housing (19) at the back of the
gun body counter clockwise, pull out the needle
(18).
Use bent nose pliers “T” so to pull out the piston
which has a 12mm internal groove for this purpose.
Piston “P+W” and two valve “V” will pull out at
the same time. The ring “W” is located by pressing
it onto the piston body and can not be removed
from it.
The valve “V” can be removed easily from the
piston ring. We recommend to replace the full
piston at the same time (Item number SPA-60x-K).
It’s recommended to replace all the O-rings (14, 16
& 15c) in the gun body as soon you disassemble the
Piston from the gun.
Slightly lubricate the piston lip before fitting again
into the gun body. Use petroleum jelly to lubricate
the piston parts and o-rings.
