Spraying; Adjusting The Swivel Tube; Cleaning Your Spray Gun - Titan MAXUM ELITE Manual Del Propietário

Spraying

Hold the spray gun between 1 and 8 inches from the spraying
surface, depending on the size of the spray pattern that you
need. The closer to the surface you hold the gun, the smaller the
spray pattern.
Keep the gun at right angles to the spraying surface in order to
apply an even coat of material. If you keep the spray gun moving
at a smooth and constant speed, the spray material is less likely
to run or sag.
Begin Trigger
pass gun
Always squeeze the trigger of the spray gun after you begin
your spray pass and release it before the pass is done. For best
results, make the spray passes about 20 inches long and overlap
each pass by 4 or 5 inches. Remember to keep the gun at right
angles to the spraying surface.

adjusting the Swivel Tube

The adjustable swivel tube on your spray gun lets you get the
most out of the material in your cup no amatter at what angle you
need to spray.
If you are holding your spray gun angled down, turn the swivel
tube lever fully clockwise.
NOTE: an arrow on each side of the bridge indicates the
direction that the swivel tube is pointing when
the swivel tube lever is in its fully clockwise or
fully counterclockwise position.
If you are holding the spray gun angled up, turn the swivel tube
lever fully counterclockwise.

cleaning the Spray Gun
It is very important to clean your HVLP spray gun thoroughly
after each use.
1. Empty the spray material from the cup.
2. Pour a small amount of the appropriate solvent in the cup
and attach the cup to the spray gun.
3. Shake and spray the gun in a well ventilated area.
NOTE: Do not restrict the nozzle when cleaning. Back
flushing of the system is not necessary.
4. Repeat the steps above until the solvent appears clear.
5. Wipe the interior/exterior of the cup and the spray gun with
the appropriate solvent until it is clean.
6. Separate the gun head from the gun rear (see instructions
on page 3). Remove the needle, fluid nozzle, and air cap
and clean them thoroughly. Make sure that the air holes
and material passages are completely clean. Never use
metal tools or picks to clean the air cap or nozzle.
IMPORTaNT: any attempt to remove the fluid inlet fitting
will result in damage to the gun body and void the warranty.
NOTE: Remove the needle packing only when replacing
with a new needle packing. Do not remove the
needle packing for cleaning.
7. Disassemble, clean, and dry the check valve and air tube
after each use.
IMPORTaNT: DO NOT clean the air tube with hot solvents such
as lacquer thinner. hot solvents will damage the air tube.
NOTE: Lubricate all of the threaded parts on the spray
gun with petroleum jelly when you put them
back together. This will help keep them working
properly.
IMPORTaNT: Do not use any lubricants containing silicone.
Silicone can cause problems when used with some paints.
