SAFETY REGULATIONS

Appropriate standards apply to spraying and handling with

ammable liquids. Areas and rooms, where coating materials
are handled with, shall be identied and adapted regarding the
ammability of the coating materials in compliance with applicable

standards and regulations.

In case the spraying guns are used and operated in other countries,

then relevant national standards and regulations apply.

Electrostatic charge (electricity) can occur under certain

circumstances due to ow of air and liquids. During discharge it may
result in sparking and/or aming.

To prevent such situation it is necessary to use hoses with

guaranteed electrostatic drop-in particularly for coating materials

with ignition point below 21°C (nitro-, acetone coating materials
etc.) and some coating materials of 2nd ammability class preheated
to higher temperature - it is necessary to ensure certied hoses with
such identication.

Vibrations and noise

The vibration level transferred to hands does not exceed maximum

allowed value acc. to NV 272/2011 Coll.

The noise level depends on size of nozzle system and on input

pressure value, which ranges from 80 to 90dB(A). Allowed permitted

nose level acc. to act no. 272/2011 Coll. is 85dB(A) and thus it is
necessary to use hearing protection equipments.

Work With gun

The spraying gun operates with air pressure up to 6 bar, air
pressure - recommended 2.5-3,5 bar. Do not focus the gun to
yourself, other persons or animals. Solvents and thinners may cause
chemical burn. During nozzle assembly, disassembly, cleaning or

each interruption of work proceed very carefully and ensure locking
of the gun to prevent eventual starting. Thus you may prevent the
injury. Before any repair the gun shall be disconnected from the
pressure air and applied material.

CAUTION

Do not use the basic variants of the guns for solvents from chlorohydrocarbon

family, as e.g. 1.1.1. trichlorethan and metylchloride may cause chemical
reaction with aluminium and with galvanized, resp. zinc-coated parts and thus

create explosive mixture with eventual explosion effect.

CAUTION

All persons authorised to operation ad maintenance of the equipment must be
provably acquainted with the safety regulations and with the operation and
maintenance manual for the equipment.

Personal Protection during Work

During spraying and handling with the application materials
and during cleaning of the equipment follow instructions and
recommendation of manufacturers of particular materials. Use

suitable work protection aids to protect skin, respiratory tract and
eyes (clothes, gloves, respirators protecting masks, resp. breathing
apparatuses, goggles, protection creams etc.).

EQUIPMENT USE AND DESCRIPTION

EcoGun 249 air spraying gun is a gun with lower pressure
supply of the material. The gun features complete stain-less path for
applied material.

Atomising system with decreased pressure of atomising air at the

gun jet mouth, similar to RP system.

The gun features very good grip and balance in hand, as well

as easy less wearisome handling. Assembly threads of connecting
elements are glued with suitable sealing compound (LOCTITE 542).

The spraying gun can handle all types of coating materials,
which are intended to application by spraying, and whose chemical

composition does not disturb the spraying gun components.
Recommended distance of nozzle mouth to the sprayed surface
(spraying distance) depends on side of nozzle assembly and type of

coating material, it ranges from 150 to 190 mm.

Semi-automatic needle seal ensures maximum period
of maintenance-free and reliable operation of the seal.
Mechanical re-tightening of the needle seal enables increased
interval between service repairs. The system joints advantages
of automatic and mechanical design of the needle seal re­tightening.

COMMISSIONING

Before commissioning the gun must be cleaned from preservative

substances by suitable degreasing agent – ush the gun with solvent

suitable for the coating material to be applied.

The gun is factory adjusted and prime-sprayed (quality

test).

Pressure air is to be supplied through following hose:

» up to 10 meters -nominal inner diameter 8 mm
» over 10 meters - nominal inner diameter 9,5 mm

oPtions for coating material suPPly

EcoGun 249 model spraying gun features following supply options:

» Lower supply -Fluid connector AM 38 (tting G 3/8“)

direct connection of air quick-couPlings to the gun

The gun design enables connection of air quick-couplings to the

gun. The air input tting may house the quick-coupling mandrel, e.g.

type SFIW 13 from RECTUS.

The manufacturer recommends to use brand quick-couplings with

low pressure loss and long operating life.

The quick-couplings may be used to the air inlet only
during application of water-based coating materials, which
do not require electro-static drop-in.

ADJUSTING OF GUN

The gun does not require any adjustment, when basic maintenance

requirements are followed. Each gun is factory adjusted and prime­spayed. Upon disassembly and reassembly due to replacement of
the nozzle assembly or worn components it is necessary to inspect
adjustment of following elements.

Gun 249

EcoGun 249

adVance timing adjustment

» Start of air before opening of coating material outlet

Reproduction of Dürr Systems Czech Republic component quality
ensures that the advance timing is permanently set during common
replacement of the nozzle set and d not require any adjustment.

» Needle gland is tightened semi-automatically with possible

manual tightening.

OPERATION

Important prerequisite of the high-quality proper function is proper
maintenance. The gun is designed in such manner that the require­ments may be easily adhered to.
The nozzle assemblies are made from stainless steel AISI 304 and
they are delivered as spare parts as complete nozzle with needle.
To achieve high-quality spraying it is necessary to take care of cle-

anness of the nozzle assembly, prevention of nozzle neck damage,

cleanness and integrity of very precise holes in the air jet. Upon
replacing or cleaning of the nozzle it shall be properly tightened to
make it tight. Recommended torque on the nozzle is 10 Nm.
The gun is factory adjusted and prime-sprayed (quality test).

control of coating mataerial amount

This regulation restricts the lift of the

needle which throttles the ow of material

in the nozzle. By loosening the locking
nut (38) and subsequently turning the

stop screw (20), the lift of the needle and

the volume the material is changed. After

reaching the lift of the locking nut (38),

tighten it again. We recommend using this
method only temporarily. A more suitable
manner is to select a smaller nozzle set
or reducing the pressure of the sprayed
air (if it will not reduce the quality of the
spraying). Fully tightening of the stop bolt will prevent the lift of the
needle and any undesired spraying during handling.

control of sPray shaPe

Air runs out of the wing holes in the air
jet and the air widens the beam shape.
Its amount is controlled by turning of the
control wheel. Left-side turning increases
supplied air amount and enlarges the
beam.

11

EcoGun 249

control of air suPPly to gun

This control (7) is located on the gun
butt and enables throttling the air supply
amount to gun and thus the operator can

decrease the air amount for spraying, resp.
completely stop the supply, without any

handling on the air control in distribution
lines.

rePlacement of nozzle assembly

After dismantling the stop bolt (20) and the securing nut (38),

remove the spring of the needle (18) with the bearing of the needle

(19) and the needle (2). For easier handling, press the lever which

will suppress the needle from the rear part of the gun. Remove the
nozzle from the front part of the gun by unscrewing (1). Dismantle the
nozzle from the gun by the attached wrench (41). Before assembly

of a new nozzle set, it is recommended to clean the assembly areas.

Attach the new nozzle and fully tighten. The recommended tightening

moment on the nozzle is 10 Nm. Behind the gun, insert the needle
with spring and bearing, and replace the locking nut, bolt stop and

nozzle.

rePlacement of needle gland

Upon any leakage it is necessary to
re-tighten the gland (9) by the gland
screw (12) by clockwise rotation of

the screw to condition, where the

gland is again tight. In case the gland
screw cannot rotate and the gland

still leaks, the gland shall be replaced

for a new one. Unscrew the gland
screw (12) and remove the old gland
assembly. Before installation o new

gland clean the gland area. Insert new gland (9), spring guide (10)

and gland spring (11) from the needle sealing set. Tighten the gland
screw to ensure proper tightness of the gland.

rePlacement of air ValVe sealing

» Disassembly: (pic. a) Disassemble the end stop screw (20)

and locking nut (38) with spring (18), bearing (19) and needle

(2). Use wrench (41) to disassemble the control bushing (17)
with spring (16) from the gun. Press lever to insert the pin (15)

to the gun, and then remove it. Insert to the gun assembly
key (42), insert the mandrel assembly (38) from the air valve
set, insert needle to the mandrel and press lever to press out

the seal roller (13) from the gun. Seal will remain on the key

assembly (42), which then pull out from the gun. (pic. b)

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

cleaning and maintenance PrinciPles

» Prevent drying of the coating material in the gun or on the surface.

its removal (when dried) is difcult and may result in damage of

smooth surface.

» Clean the holes in the nozzle assembly very carefully, as this is the

most important part affecting the spraying quality.

» During cleaning of the gun front part keep the gun with nozzle

directing downward. thus the entry of solvent with residues of

the coating material to gun air channels is prevented, as well

as subsequent damage to the gun function. after each cleaning
connect the gun to the pressure air supply and blow out the ai
channels by actuation of lever.

» Pas NEEDED after cleaning grease the level bushing (27),

operational part of the control screw (21) and threads of control
screws with suitable grease (MOLYKOTE Cu 7439)

» The gun is washed in appropriate solvent corresponding to type

of sprayed coating material. Pihe gun can be washed in the gun
washing machine. However never immerse the gun to solvent and
prevent long-term stay of gun in the solvent vapour area.

CAUTION

Do not use any metal items for cleaning!!!
