Part Numbers
The ordering code for the GTIPRO LITE G Spray gun is;
E.g. PROLT-GTE10-12 where;
G = Gravity Gun
TE10 = TE10 Aircap
12 = 1.2 Nozzle
See charts 1 & 2 p13 for available Aircap/Nozzle sizes
Operational Description
This GTIPRO LITE G Spray Gun is a professional quality gun designed with both high volume,
low pressure (HVLP) technology or High Efficiency EPA compliant technology. HVLP
Technology reduces overspray and limits air cap pressure to 0.7 bar (10 psi). High Efficiency
complies with EPA by obtaining transfer efficiency above 65%.
IMPORTANT: These Sprayguns are suitable for use with both waterbased and solvent based
coating materials. These guns are not designed for use with highly corrosive and/or abrasive
materials and if used with such materials it must be expected that the need for cleaning and/or
replacement of parts will be increased. If there is any doubt regarding the suitability of a specific
material, contact your DeVilbiss Distributor or DeVilbiss direct.
NOTE: This gun is not to be used with halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or cleaning agents
such as 1,1,1,-Trichloroethane or methylene chloride. These solvents can react with the
aluminium components used in this gun and cup. The reaction can become violent and lead to
an equipment explosion.

SAFETY WARNINGS
Fire and explosion
Solvents and coating materials can be highly flammable or combustible when sprayed.
ALWAYS refer to the coating material supplier’s instructions and COSHH sheets before using this
equipment.
Users must comply with all local and national codes of practice and insurance company requirements
governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation and house-keeping of working areas.
This equipment, as supplied, is NOT suitable for use with Halogenated Hydrocarbons.
Static electricity can be generated by fluid and/or air passing through hoses, by the spraying process and
by cleaning non-conductive parts with cloths. To prevent ignition sources from static discharges, earth
continuity must be maintained to the spray gun and other metallic equipment used. It is essential to use
conductive air and/or fluid hoses.
Personal Protective Equipment
Toxic vapours – When sprayed, certain materials may be poisonous, create irritation or be otherwise
harmful to health. Always read all labels, safety data sheets and follow any recommendations for the
material before spraying. If in doubt, contact your material supplier.
The use of respiratory protective equipment is recommended at all times. The type of equipment must be
compatible with the material being sprayed.
Always wear eye protection when spraying or cleaning the spray gun.
Gloves must be worn when spraying or cleaning the equipment.
Training – Personnel should be given adequate training in the safe use of spraying equipment.
Misuse
Never aim a spray gun at any part of the body.
Never exceed the maximum recommended safe working pressure for the equipment.
The fitting of non-recommended or non-original spares may create hazards.
Before cleaning or maintenance, all pressure must be isolated and relieved from the equipment.
The product should be cleaned using a gun-washing machine, and should be removed and dried
immediately after cleaning is completed. Prolonged exposure to cleaning solutions can cause damage to
the product.
Noise Levels
The A-weighted sound level of spray guns may exceed 85 dB (A) depending on the setup being used.
Details of actual noise levels are available on request. It is recommended that ear protection is worn at all
times when spraying.
Operating
Spray equipment using high pressures may be subject to recoil forces. Under certain circumstances, such
forces could result in repetitive strain injury to the operator.
