SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Be safety-conscious! All local and national regulations governing
ventilation, re prevention, and operation must be observed.

HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY

A high pressure stream produced by this equipment can pierce the
skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation. See a physician immediately.

DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT! Injection
can lead to amputation. See a physician immediately. Inform the
physician of the type of coating material or cleaning agent with
which the injury was caused.

The maximum operating range of the spray gun is 25 MPa / 3600 PSI
uid pressure.

• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.

• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the uid stream. DO NOT allow
body to touch a leak in the uid hose.

• NEVER put hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection
against an injection injury.

• Never point the spray gun at anyone else.

• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump o, and release all pressure
before servicing, cleaning the tip or guard, changing tip, or leaving
unattended. Pressure will not be released by turning o the motor. The
PRIME/SPRAY valve must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure. Refer
to the Pressure Relief Pressure described in the pump manual.

• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard provides
some protection but is mainly a warning device.

• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before ushing or cleaning the system.

• The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak can
inject material into the skin. Inspect the hose before each use.

• NEVER use a spray gun without a trigger lock and trigger guard in place and
in good working order.

• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum operating pressure
range of the airless sprayer. This includes spray tips, extensions, and hose.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS

Will cause severe injury or property damage.

• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.

• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as bleach, mildewcide,
methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane. They are not compatible
with aluminum.

GB

Vector Pro 15

• Contact your coating material supplier about the compatibility of material
with aluminum.

HAZARD: GENERAL

This product can cause severe injury or property damage.

• Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating equipment.

• Never spray near sources of ignition; e.g. open ames, cigarettes — also
cigars and pipes are sources of ignition —, sparks, hot wires and hot
surfaces, etc.

• Wear respiratory equipment when spraying. The operator must be provided
with a protective mask.

In order to prevent work related illness, the manufacturer’s regulations for

the materials, solvents, and cleaning agents used must be observed when
preparing, working with and cleaning the unit. Protective clothing, gloves,
eyewear, and, in certain cases, protective skin cream are necessary to protect
the skin.

• Follow the coating material and solvent manufacturer’s warnings and
instructions.

• Extraction equipment should be installed by the user in accordance with
local regulations.

• The objects being sprayed must be earthed.

• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover.
Check for damage or movement of couplings. Immediately replace the hose
if any of these conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with
another grounded high-pressure hose.

• Pulling the trigger causes a recoil force to the hand that is holding the spray gun.

The recoil force of the spray gun is particularly powerful when the tip has

been removed and a high pressure has been set on the airless high-pressure
pump. Therefore, when cleaning without tip set the pressure control valve
to the lowest pressure.

• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all risks and liabilities
when using parts that do not meet the minimum specications and safety
devices of the spray gun manufacturer.

EXPLOSION PROTECTION IDENTIFICATION

X MARKING:

The spray gun corresponds with Ex II 2G IIC c T6 X and is, in accordance
with Directive 2014/34/EU, suitable for use in explosion-hazardous
areas—as of type Zone 1. Under certain circumstances, the unit itself may
cause the Zone 1 condition to be in eect.

16 Vector Pro

GB

Any static-electricity discharge from the spray gun is to be diverted to the
grounded high-pressure pump via the conductive high-pressure hose as
stipulated.

The maximum surface temperature corresponds to the permissible
material temperature. This and the permissible ambient temperature can
be found in the Technical Data.

To avoid the generation of machine sparks, prevent impact stresses and any
work on the unit with tools in the explosion-hazardous area.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Residual risks are risks, which cannot be excluded, even when equipment is
used for the intended purpose.

In such cases the applicable areas of the actual residual risks will be pointed out
using warning and/or prohibition signs.

INTRODUCTION

This airless spray gun is to be used for the high pressure atomization of liquid
coating materials.

USING THE GUN TRIGGER LOCK

12

Gun locked

(gun will not spray)

Gun unlocked

(gun will spray)

Always engage the gun’s trigger lock
when the gun is not in use.

1. To lock the trigger, push in the trigger
lock from left to right, when looking
at the rear of the gun.

2. To unlock the trigger, push the trigger
lock from right to left, when looking
at the rear of the gun.

back of the tip guard (2). Press in for nal adjustment.

18 Vector Pro

GB

6. Insert the tip (1) into the slot on the tip guard.

7. Thread the tip guard onto the gun. Position the tip guard in the desired
spraying position, then tighten securely.

i

The arrow on the tip handle should be pointing in the forward
direction for spraying.

OPERATION

1. Make sure the arrow on the tip handle is pointing in the forward direction
for spraying.

2. Start the sprayer. Refer to the instructions in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.

3. Adjust the uid pressure on the sprayer until the spray is completely
atomized. Always spray at the lowest pressure necessary to get the desired
results.

i

The spray tip determines the size of spray pattern and coverage.
When more coverage is needed, use a larger tip instead of increasing
uid pressure.

4. To clear a clogged tip:

a. Rotate the tip 180º so that the arrow on the tip handle is pointing opposite the

spray direction.

b. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the clog out.

Attention

Never pull the trigger more than once with the tip in the reverse
position.

c. Continue this procedure until the tip is clear of the clog.

CHANGING A TIP

Tips can be removed and replaced easily without disassembling the gun.

Never attempt to change or clean the tip or tip guard without rst
performing the “Pressure Relief Procedure.”

1. Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure” described in the sprayer’s Owner’s
Manual.

1. Remove the tip (1) from the tip guard (2).

2. Insert the tip handle through the front of the
tip guard.

3. Push the tip seal (3) and tip seal retainer (4)
out through the back of the tip guard.

IDENTIFYING TIP SIZES

To identify tip sizes, use the following formula. A “517” tip size will be used in
this example.

The rst digit multiplied by two represents the size of the spray pattern when
spraying 12” away from the work surface:

5 x 2 = 10” spray pattern
The second two digits represent the diameter of the orice on the tip:
17 = .017” orice

i

Worn spray tips will adversely aect the spray pattern and result in
reduced production, poor nish, and wasted material. Replace worn
tips immediately.

CLEANUP

Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure trouble-free operation. Flush
the gun after each use and store in a dry location. Do not leave the gun or any
of its parts in water or solvents.

Special cleanup instructions for use with ammable solvents:

• Always ush spray gun preferably outside and at least one hose length from
spray pump.

• If collecting ushed solvents in a one gallon metal container, place it into an
empty ve gallon container, then ush solvents.

• Area must be free of ammable vapors.

• Follow all cleanup instructions.

Attention

The sprayer, hose, gun and gun lter should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake, seriously
aecting the performance of the unit.

20 Vector Pro

GB

Always spray at the lowest possible pressure when the tip and tip
guard have been removed. To clean the airless gun, hose and spray
device, use only water or a suitable solvent. Static electricity buildup
may result in a re or explosion in the presence of ammable vapors.
Hold the gun rmly against a metal container while ushing.

MAINTENANCE

Follow all safety precautions as described in the Safety Precautions section of
this manual before proceeding.

i

Refer to the Parts List section in this manual for part identication.

REPLACING/SERVICING THE SEAL ASSEMBLY

If your spray gun leaks or spits at the tip when you release the trigger, the
needle is worn, damaged, or dirty and must be replaced or cleaned.
