Should your HVLP spray gun need service during the warranty period, return the unit and the proof of purchase to the distributor where it was purchased. At our option, the unit will be repaired or replaced. In a continued commitment to improve quality, we reserve the right to make component or design changes when necessary.

Introduction

These spray guns are designed for use in a High Volume/Low Pressure (HVLP) painting system.

With an HVLP system, the highest quality professional nish can be achieved with little preparation or setup time. HVLP systems are

not intended to replace airless systems. Instead, they are meant to

compliment airless by improving the nal nish on the substrate, minimizing waste, and reducing labor time. In addition to enhancing protability, HVLP systems are compliant with the most stringent transfer eciency requirements.

The HVLP spray guns described in this manual include the turbine cup gun and the turbine top feed gun. Please review all the information contained in this manual before operating an HVLP

system.

3. Using a 7/64 in hex wrench, remove the two gun body insert screws. Remove the gun body insert.

4. Remove the gun body O-ring from the gun body. You may need to use a needle-nose pliers or some other long, thin object to remove it from the gun body.

Replacing the Check Valve Retainer, Valve Seal and Air Tube

The check valve is a one-way valve designed to allow air into the cup, pressurizing the cup’s contents. Because it is a one-way valve, it prevents paint from seeping up the air tube into the air passages of the gun. It also eliminates any delay in material ow when the gun is triggered by maintaining pressure in the cup.

The check valve rotates open easily for cleaning. It contains a valve seal that can be removed and cleaned with soap and water for waterborne materials or a compatible solvent for other materials. To replace the the valve seal and/or the air tube:

1. Unscrew the check valve retainer by turning it counterclockwise.

2. Pull the valve seal out of the gun head. Clean or replace the

valve seal.

NOTE: The check valve area inside the gun head should

also be cleaned of any accumulated spray material. DO NOT use anything metal or abrasive to clean the check valve area as it will scratch the metal surface, and the valve seal will not seal properly.

3. Reinstall the valve seal. Insert the stem of the valve seal into the hole of the gun head.

Converting to Top Feed

adjustmen

Air inlet

The cup is designed for a maximum working pressure of 6 PSI (0.41 bar). Pressures higher than 6 psi can result in cup leakage, damage to the equipment, and/ or potential injury to the user.

The top feed HVLP spray gun is designed for use in special applications such as spraying in conned areas. The position of the cup gives the top feed gun the ability to spray downward and overhead. When spraying with the top feed gun, remember the following tips for the best results. Keep the cup pressurized at all times when spraying. Attempting to gravity feed the material will slow or stop the ow of material at the nozzle.

NOTE: It is recommended that the gun hook be removed

whenever using the top feed cup assembly.

To set up the spray gun for top feed delivery:

1. Loosen the retaining nut using a wrench and remove the one quart cup assembly.

2. Pull the air tube o of the air tube tting on the spray gun.

3. Separate the gun head from the gun rear (see instructions on page 3). Reassemble gun head upside-down so uid inlet tting on gun head points upward to accept the top feed cup assembly.

4. Remove the gun hook and thread the retaining nut of the topfeed cup assembly onto the uid inlet of the gun head. Rotate the stand away from the cup and set the gun assembly on a level surface.

5. Using an adjustable wrench, secure the retaining nut, making sure the gun/cup assembly stays in a level position. The cup should end up in a vertical position when supported by the

stand.

6. Connect the air tube to the air tube tting on the spray gun.

IMPORTANT: The gun, when converted to top-feed, will not stand on its own. Make sure to use the stand when filling. Do not lay the gun on its side when it is filled with material. Do not hang the gun by its hook when lled with material.

Converting the gun from Non-Bleeder to Bleeder

Your HVLP spray gun can be converted from a non-bleeder to a bleeder setup. Bleeder setup provides more atomizing power for higher viscosity materials, such as latex and enamels. Bleeder setup can make it easier to spray in conned spaces, such as inside cabinets, because the air hose is moved to the back of the gun.

To convert a spray gun to bleeder setup:

1. Remove the air ow adjustment knob from the rear of the gun using a wrench.

2. Remove the air inlet tting from the bottom of the gun handle using a wrench.

3. Thread the air inlet tting into the air ow adjustment knob location at the rear of the gun. Secure the tting in place.

Material Reduction/Projector Set Chart

Before spraying, the material being used must be thinned with an appropriate solvent and the proper projector set must be installed. It is always best to follow the material manufacturers recommendations and thinning procedures.

There are two simple methods of measuring the proper thickness of a material:

1. Dip a paint stick into the material and remove it, watching carefully as the material runs o. When the material begins to form drops, the drops should fall about 1 second apart.

2. Use a viscosity cup (P/N 0153165). Dip the cup into the material and remove it. Use a watch or clock to time how long the material drains from the cup in a continuous stream. Once the continuous stream breaks, stop timing and refer to the table below. Add the appropriate solvent and continue testing until the proper thickness is reached for the type of material you are using.
