DUAL FLUID SPRAY GUN

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS

INTRODUCTION:

This Manual Spray Gun requires clean dry air regulated
from 6 to 8 C.F.M. at 60 to 80 lbs. air pressure depending
on the size of atomizing heads to be used. Paasche
Regulator & Condenser Units are recommended for
attaching to air supply line to remove water, oil, rust or
scale and help insure a quality finish of coating.

AIR AND FLUID CONNECTIONS:

1. Air Connection: To remove any accumulated foreign
matter blow out all hoses before using.

a. Air supply to Spray Gun must be turned off

before attaching fittings to the Air Inlet.

b. Attach HT-1/4 Air Hose to the Air Outlet on the

Air Regulator and Air Inlet on the bottom of the
handle on the Spray Gun.

2. Fluid Hose Connection: HPT-1/4 PVC Fluid Hose
with Stainless Steel Couplings should be long enough
to form a loop below the Spray Gun at all times when
using fluid hose to feed material to the Spray Gun
(two required).

a. Attach NS-3/8 Nut and HNS-1/4-3/8 Nipple,

Stainless Fittings, to the fluid inlets of the two
Fluid Bodies.

b. Attach opposite ends, NS-3/8 Nut and HNS-1/4-

3/8 Nipple, Stainless Fittings, to containers of
respective materials being sprayed.

3. Fluid Container Connection: When using USP-QT
(QT./.946 l) Plastic Bottle Assemblies, make sure
Screw Covers are tightened securely so fluid will not
leak at Bottle connections.

4. Tighten all Air and Fluid connections securely.

OPERATION:

1. After hose connections have been made, regulate the
air pressure to about 40 lbs. and then pull trigger back
slowly.

a. The first 1/4" of trigger stroke opens the Air

Valve which operates both the cylinders.

b. Continued pull on the trigger opens both of the

atomizing Spray Heads for spraying.

2. The U-1460 Adjusting Nut (part 39) can be used to
regulate desired amount of fluid to the automatic
Spray Head.

3. Dual Fluid Spray Guns are designed to atomize and
mix fluid materials outside the atomizing aircaps. This
prevents materials from hardening inside the spray
gun.

4. The U-28-12 Packing Washers (part 6) should be
replaced periodically.

a. Fill packing cavity with 3 new U-28-12 Packing

Washers and replace U-29 Packing Gland (part

7), DU-30 Spring (part 8) and U-31 Spring Seat
(part 9) in position.

b. A few drops of oil should occasionally be

applied to the U-2506 Piston Leather (part Z) to
keep it pliable.
