ZEUS LINER

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The LARIUS EXCALIBUR unit is defined “piston pump”.
An piston pump is used for high pressure painting without air
(from this process derives the term ”airless”).
The internal combustion engine, mounted upon the undercar­riage, powers the alternative piston pump.
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 electronic device, allows to adjust and control the pressure
of the material coming out of the pump.
A safety valve avoiding overpressure, guarantees the total
reliability of the equipment.

The control zone allows for the possibility of:

• Activating the dispensing spray gun;

• Enabling or disabling the frontal steering wheel;

• Adjust the pressure of work;

The paint dries quickly and the line is defined in a uniform
manner with a single coat. The airless function requires the
use of filtered paint which is specifically designed for airless
application. This means that the paint is homogeneous, of a
smooth and uniform consistency and will not form crusts, nor
will it become gelatinous or thick. With this airless line-marker,
the paint adheres firmly to all types of pavement, with optimal
visibility, and is resistance to wear caused both by traffic as
well as atmospheric agents.

LT. 20 TANKLT. 50 TANK

This type of equipment is capable of painting one line at a time
in a single color.
The line can be either solid or dotted, based on the working
requirements.

1 2

SOLID LINE BROKEN LINE

ZEUS LINER is ideal for medium marking and maintenance
jobs.

Use water or non-refractive solvent filtered paint
specifically designed for airless application.

ZEUS LINER allows for the marking and maintaining of all types
lines on highways, freeways, pedestrian crossings, parking lots
and squares, as well as every horizontal marking required by
the highway code.
Airless marking has numerous proven benefits with respect to
line-markers with pressurised tanks, which have been rendered
obsolete by airless-technology line markers.

Airless line-marking guarantees:

• Decreased Environmental Impact;

• Decreased drying time.

In the LARIUS models, the paint canister can be loaded directly
upon the undercarriage or else poured into the non-stick (20
l or 50 l, depending on the model). In every case, cleaning,
maintenance and colour change operations are facilitated.

The line-marker is equipped with pivoting frontal wheel which
even increases the agility of the larger models.
High yield, high efficiency, high versatility.

This line-marker utilises non-premixed paints. This allows it
to achieve about 30 % more yield with respect to standard
line-markers. Every model is also an airless spray gun which
can be used in the construction/decoration sector together
with washable products, enamels, breathable paints and
flooring resins.
A vast assortment of accessories is available to satisfy every
customer demand.

TRANSPORT
AND UNPACKING

•

The packed parts should be handled as indicated in the
symbols and markings on the outside of the packing.

•

Before installing the equipment, ensure that the area to be
used is large enough for such purposes, is properly lit and
has a clean, smooth floor surface.

The user is responsible for the operations of unlo­ading and handling and should use the maximum
care so as not to damage the individual parts or
injure anyone.
To perform the unloading operation, use only qualified
and trained personnel (truck and crane operators, etc.)
and also suitable hoisting equipment for the weight
of the installation or its parts.
Follow carefully all the safety rules.
The personnel must be equipped with the necessary
safety clothing.

•

The manufacturer will not be responsible for the unloading
operations and transport to the workplace of the machine.

•

Check the packing is undamaged on receipt of the equi­pment. Unpack the machine and verify if there has been
any damage due to transportation.

In case of damage, call immediately LARIUS and the

Shipping Agent. All the notices about possible damage or
anomalies must arrive timely within 8 days at least from
the date of receipt of the plant through Registered Letter
to the Shipping Agent and to LARIUS.

The disposal of packaging materials is a customer’s
competence and must be performed in accordance
with the regulations in force in the country where the
plant is installed and used.
It is nevertheless sound practice to recycle packa­ging materials in an environment-friendly manner as
much as possible

.

SAFETY RULES

• THE EMPLOYER SHALL TRAIN ITS EMPLOYEES ABOUT

ALL THOSE RISKS STEMMING FROM ACCIDENTS, ABOUT
THE USE OF SAFETY DEVICES FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY
AND ABOUT THE GENERAL RULES FOR ACCIDENT
PREVENTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL
REGULATIONS AND WITH THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY
WHERE THE PLANT IS USED.

• THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE EMPLOYEES SHALL STRICTLY

COMPLY WITH THE ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND ALSO
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS IN FORCE IN THE
COUNTRY WHERE THE PLANT IS INSTALLED AND USED.

• KEEP YOUR WORK PLACE CLEAN AND TIDY. DISORDER
WHERE YOU ARE WORKING CREATES A POTENTIAL RISK
OF ACCIDENTS.

• ALWAYS KEEP PROPER BALANCE AVOIDING UNUSUAL
STANCE.

• BEFORE USING THE TOOL, ENSURE THERE ARE NOT
DAMAGED PARTS AND THE MACHINE CAN WORK PRO­PERLY.

• ALWAYS FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT SAFETY
AND THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.

• KEEP THOSE WHO ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE WORK AREA.

• NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE
INDICATED.

• 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. NEVER UNDERVALUE A WOUND CAUSED BY
THE INJECTION OF A FLUID.

• ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE SUPPLY AND RELEASE THE
PRESSURE IN THE CIRCUIT BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY CHECK OR PART REPLACEMENT OF THE EQUIP­MENT.

• NEVER MODIFY ANY PART IN THE EQUIPMENT. CHECK
REGULARLY THE COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM. RE­PLACE THE PARTS DAMAGED OR WORN.

• TIGHTEN AND CHECK ALL THE FITTINGS FOR CON­NECTION BETWEEN PUMP, FLEXIBLE HOSE AND SPRAY
GUN BEFORE USING THE EQUIPMENT.

• ALWAYS USE THE FLEXIBLE HOSE SUPPLIED WITH STAN­DARD KIT. THE USE OF ANY ACCESSORIES OR TOOLING
OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED IN THIS MANUAL,
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURE THE OPERATOR.

• THE FLUID CONTAINED IN THE FLEXIBLE HOSE CAN
BE VERY DANGEROUS. HANDLE THE FLEXIBLE HOSE
CAREFULLY. DO NOT PULL THE FLEXIBLE HOSE TO
MOVE THE EQUIPMENT. NEVER USE A DAMAGED OR A
REPAIRED FLEXIBLE HOSE.

Read carefully and entirely the following in­structions before using the product. Please save
these instructions in a safe place.

The unauthorised tampering/replacement of one
or more parts composing the machine, the use of
accessories, tools, expendable materials other than
those recommended by the manufacturer can be
a danger of accident.

The high speed of travel of the product in the hose
can create static electricity through discharges
and sparks.
It is suggested to earth the equipment.
The gun is earthed through the high pressure
flexible hose.
All the conductors near the work area must be
earthed.

• NEVER SPRAY OVER FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS OR SOL­VENTS IN CLOSED PLACES.

• NEVER USE THE TOOLING IN PRESENCE OF POTENTIALLY
EXPLOSIVE GAS.

Always check the product is compatible with the
materials composing the equipment (pump, spray
gun, flexible hose and accessories) with which it
can come into contact. Never use paints or sol­vents containing halogen hydrocarbons (as the
methylene chloride).
If these products come into contact with aluminium
parts can provoke dangerous chemical reactions
with risk of corrosion and explosion.
