WORKING PRINCIPLE
TORNADO 2
English
The LARIUS TORNADO2 unit is defined “electric piston pump”.
An electric piston pump is used for high pressure painting without
air (from this process derives the term ”airless”).
The pump is controlled by an electric motor coupled with a
reduction gear.
A cam shaft and a connecting rod allow to obtain the reciprocating
motion necessary to the working of the “pumping group” piston.
The piston movement produces a “vacuum”.
The product is sucked, pushed towards the pump outlet and then

sent to the gun through the flexible hose.
A mechanical device on the side of the reduction gear casing,
allows to adjust and control the pressure of the material coming
out of the pump.
When the pump reaches the set value, the motor stops and starts
again when the value decreases.
A safety valve avoiding overpressure, guarantees the total reliability
of the equipment.

• Open the safety- relief valve (G2) (turn clockwise so as the
pin slides on the cam track).
• Press the switch ON (I) of the equipment and turn a little the
pressure control knob (G3) clockwise, so as the machine
works at the idle speed.
• Make sure the product recycles from the return tube (G4).
• Close the drain valve (turn clockwise till the valve has relea-sed).
• Now the machine carries on sucking the product till the fl exible
hose is full, up to the gun. Then it will stop automatically.
SPRAY ADJUSTMENT
• Slowly turn clockwise the pressure control knob to reach the
pressure value in order to ensure a good atomization of the
product.
G3
G2
• An irregular and marked spray on the sides indicates a low
working pressure. On the contrary, a too high pressure causes
a high fog (“overspray”) and waste of product.
• In order to avoid overthickness of paint, let the gun advance
sideways (right-left) when spraying.
• Always paint with regular parallel bands coats.
• Keep a safety and constant distance between the gun and the
support to be painted and also keep yourselves perpendicular
to it.
NEVER point the spray gun at yourselves or at
other people. The contact with the casting can
cause serious injuries.
In case of injuries caused by the gun casting,
seek immediate medical advice specifying the type of the
product injected.
The drain valve is a safety valve too. When
working at the maximum pressure available,
releasing the gun trigger sudden increases of
pressure can occur. In this case, the drain valve
opens automatically eliminating part of the product from the
recirculating tube. Then it closes so as to go back to the first
working conditions.
