Extension Cord Guidelines
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
NOTE: More than 100 feet of extension cord is not
recommended. Use more paint hose, not more
extension cord. Shorter extension cords will
assure maximum electrical power for proper
operation.
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is installed properly and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.
The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green,
with or without yellow stripes, is the grounding wire and must
be connected to grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the product is grounded properly. Do not
modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A.
A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in
sketch B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by
a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug, or the
like extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw.
Introduction
This High Volume/Low Pressure (HVLP) spray system is
designed for applying coatings to surfaces that can be sprayed
faster than brushing or rolling and are too small for traditional
airless sprayers. Components of this system include a power
switch, a power cord, a replaceable fuse, a dual filtration
system, a cup holder, an air hose, and an air outlet.
With this HVLP spray system, you can achieve the highest
quality professional finish possible with little or no preparation
or setup time. Please review all the information contained in
this manual before operating the system.

Service
Should your spray system need service during the warranty
period, return your 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.
Using an HVLP Spray System
Refer to the following information to operate and understand
your HVLP spray system.
Setup
Use the following procedure to set up your HVLP spray system
for operation.
1. Plug the turbine power cord into a grounded, 3-slot
receptacle.
Keep the turbine at the maximum possible distance from
the spray area to safeguard against explosion or fire that
may be caused by sparking electrical parts.
2. Prepare your spray gun for operation. Refer to your spray
gun manual for material preparation, setup, and spraying
information.
3. Attach the air hose to the air outlet on the turbine.
4. Attach the air hose to the air inlet on your spray gun.
The turbine has two different air filters— one for atomizing air
and one for cooling air. The atomizing air filter is a two-stage,
fine mesh filter designed to trap particles that may damage
your finish. The atomizing air is discharged through the nozzle
of the spray gun where it atomizes the coating material. The
cooling air filter is a coarse mesh filter designed to allow the
proper amount of air flow through the turbine for cooling
purposes. Cooling air is exhausted through the cooling air
discharge on the front of the turbine.
CAUTION
Clean filters regularly. Clogged filters can cause excessive
heat and possibly damage the turbine.
Maintenance
Use the following procedures to keep your HVLP spray system
running properly.
Cleaning/Replacing the Filters
1. Remove each filter by grabbing them and pulling them
straight out of the filter cans on the turbine. This will not
damage the filters.
2. Clean the filters. Either tap the filters to knock out the
contaminants or use pressurized air to blow out the
contaminants. For material that is not blown or knocked
loose easily, soak the filters in soapy water or minearal
spirits. Allow the filters to dry completely before placing
them back in the turbine.
NOTE: Do not use highly flammable solvents, such as
lacquer thinner, to clean the filters
3. Insert each filter back into its corresponding filter can.
NOTE: The two-stage, atomizing air filter must be
placed in the filter can labeled “2-Stage Filter”
with the green side facing the turbine.
After several cleanings, it may become necessary to replace
the filters. Refer to the parts list near the end of this manual
for the filter replacement kit part number.
Replacing a Fuse
1. Remove the fuse holder cover using a flathead screw
driver. Push the screwdriver into the cover and turn the
cover counterclockwise
2. Pull the old fuse out of the fuse holder cover.
3. Place the new fuse inside the fuse holder cover.
4. Place the new fuse and the fuse holder cover into the fuse
holder. Turn the fuse holder cover clockwise with the
flathead screwdriver to lock it into position.
3. Have the brushes replaced at an authorized
CAPSpray service center

matériels et de blessures graves.
PRÉVENTION:
• Lire toutes les directives et mises en garde avant de faire
fonctionner l'équipement, quel qu'il soit.
• Se conformer à tous les codes locaux, provinciaux et
nationaux qui régissent la ventilation, la prévention des
incendies et le fonctionnement des dispositifs.
• Les normes de sécurité adoptées par le gouvernement
américain l'ont été en vertu de sa Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA); ces normes, particulièrement les
parties 1910 des normes générales et 1926 des normes
de construction, devraient toujours être consultées.
• Cet équipement est conçu pour fonctionner avec les
pièces autorisées seulement. Si on l'utilise avec des
pièces non conformes aux spécifications et exigences en
matière de sécurité du fabricant, on devra accepter les
responsabilités et risques inhérents.
Français
• On doit s'assurer que les tuyaux soient exempts de
coupures, de fuites, d'abrasions ou de renflements et que
les raccords ne soient ni endommagés ni mal assujettis
avant chaque usage. Le cas échéant, il faut remplacer le
tuyau sur le champ, en ne tentant jamais de le réparer.
• On ne doit jamais orienter le pistolet vers une partie du
corps.
DANGER: ÉMANATIONS DANGEREUSES — Les
peintures, les solvants, les insecticides et
autres substances peuvent être dangereuses si
inhalées, entraînant de graves nausées, des
pertes de connaissance ou une intoxication.
PRÉVENTION:
• Utiliser un masque ou un respirateur en présence de
risques d'inhalation. Lire toutes les directives relatives au
dispositif de protection afin d'en assurer l'efficacité dans
l'usage auquel il est destiné.
DANGER: D'EXPLOSION OU D'INCENDIE — Les
émanations de solvants et de peintures
peuvent exploser ou s'enflammer, entraînant
des dommages matériels ou des blessures
graves.
PRÉVENTION:
• On doit assurer la ventilation et l'introduction d'air neuf
dans la zone de pulvérisation afin d'éviter les
accumulations de vapeurs inflammables.
• La turbine comprend des pièces produisant des étincelles.
Elle doit être placée dans une zone bien ventilée et à une
distance maximale de la zone de vaporisation.
• Il faut éviter les sources de combustion comme l'électricité
statique, les flammes nues, les veilleuses de bec de gaz,
les objets chauds, les cigarettes et les étincelles
provoquées par la connexion/déconnexion de cordon
d'alimentation et la commutation d'interrupteurs
d'éclairage.
• S’entourer de toutes les précautions possibles lorsqu’on
utilise des produits ayant un point d’éclair inférieur à 21
°C (70 °F). Le point d’éclair d’un fluide est la température
à laquelle les vapeurs émanant du fluide peuvents’enflammer au contact d’une flamme ou d’une étincelle.
• On doit avoir à portée de la main de l'équipementd'extinction en bon état de marche.
• Le cordon d'alimentation doit être raccordé à un circuitmis à la terre.
• S'assurer de suivre les directives en matière de sécurité et
de lire les mises en garde du fabricant des solvants et des
produits utilisés.
DANGER: DANGER DE BRÛLURE — Les pièces
chauffées peuvent causer de graves brûlures
cutanées.
PRÉVENTION:
• Les raccords à dégagement rapide du tuyau flexible et du
pistolet peuvent s'échauffer en cours d'utilisation; il faut
alors éviter les contacts cutanés, en attendant que les
raccords refroidissent avant de séparer le pistolet du
tuyau.
Directives pour la rallonge
N'utiliser de rallonges que si elles sont trifilaires (munies d'une
fiche à trois lames) et enfichées dans des prises à trois fentes
correspondantes. S'assurer que ces rallonges soient en bon
état et que leur calibre soit suffisant pour conduire le courant
nominal du système. Si elles sont de calibre inférieur, elles
engendreront une baisse de la tension composée, ce qui aura
pour effet de produire une perte de puissance et la surchauffe
de l'équipement.
NOTA: On ne recommande pas l'utilisation de
rallonges de plus de 30 m (100 pi); il est
préférable de rallonger le tuyau à peinture que
le cordon d'alimentation. Les rallonges plus
courtes assureront la puissance électrique
requise pour un fonctionnement adéquat.
