Only if the whole process indicated in the section regarding DEPRESSURISATION, described in section 10,
has been correctly carried out will the unit be ready to be started and used again.
The incorrect observance of this Depressurisation process could lead to malfunctions in the equipment and
Check and fill every day with the lubricant OILPACK (30090098), if necessary, the existing accommodation in
1.- Insert the suction probe (No. 2) in the container with the
product to be applied or pour the product in the cup of the unit
(No. 1)
2.- Turn the pressure regulator (No. 5) clockwise, until you see
that the product circulates through the unit and flows through the
return hose (No. 3).
In either of both cases, insert the product return hose (No. 3)
in the actual product.
3.- Close the product return key (Nº 4).
4.- Turn the product regulator control (No. 5) to adjust the required
pressure to be applied, visible on the pressure gauge (No. 8).
5.- Carry out an uncompromising application test by directing
the application on an earthed metallic container, WITHOUT the
air cap on the gun .
6.- Pull the trigger of the spray gun while maintaining part of the
same (for example the hand guard), in contact with the container
being sprayed.
In a few seconds the product will start to flow from the head of
the gun without the air cap. Keep the product flowing until it there
is a continuous flow (no air) through the head.
7.- Activate the gun's safety latch.
8.- Assemble the air cap on the gun.

1.- Short stop

When stopping for a short period of time that does not pose
possible problems with catalysation or hardening of the
product inside the unit and accessories, keep the product
suction probe submerged in the product (if the unit has a
gravity cup there is no need to empty it) and apply the
procedure of Depressurisation (Section 10).
Disassemble the air cap and dip it in thinner.
2.- Stopping when work is finished
2.1.- Turn the pressure regulator control. (No.5)
anticlockwise all the way (Minimum).
The spray gun, hoses and the rest of the unit must be cleaned
with the appropriate thinner, in order to remove any remaining
product after each use. The useful service life of the unit depends
largely on the effectiveness of the cleaning process.
The unit must be cleaned:
- Before using it for the first time, in order to eliminate the traces
of maintenance oil that the equipment comes with from the
factory.
- After each use.
- When proceeding to apply a different product (different colour
or characteristics) to what we are currently using.
Before proceeding to clean the unit you must have followed
each and every one of the steps described in the section
Stopping when work is finished (Section 12.2). This implies
that the unit and its accessories must be depressurised and
without any product inside.

9.- Adjust the Spray Pressure:
9.1. Adjust the spray pressure by turning the pressure
regulator control (No. 6) until the product flowing from the
gun is completely atomised.
To avoid spraying an excessive amount of product that causes
excessive misting, and produces premature wear of the air
cap and the components of the unit, always use the lowest
possible pressure to obtain the performance and micronage
expressed by the product manufacturer (greater spray
pressure does not mean a better finish, while it does mean
worse performance and product transfer).
9.2. Once the pressure at which the product atomises is
determined, if a greater amount of product needs to be
applied, we recommend that, preferably, a larger air cap is
used instead of increasing the pressure.
9.3. To achieve the desired spray pattern, activate the gun's
safety latch, loosen the screw that fixes the air cap and move
it to the desired position.
9.4. Tighten the air cap holder screw again.
During application, the amount of product applied to areas
with difficult access, reduced space, etc. can be reduced by
decreasing the travel distance of the trigger when loosening
the grip of your fingers on it.
Adjust the distance between the air cap and the object to be
sprayed (10 / 20 cm.) depending on the same, the product to be
applied and the working conditions, in order to increase transfer
and obtain a reduction in the amount of mist depending on the
air cap used in each case.
2.2.- Pull the spray gun trigger, holding it until no more
product comes out of the gun.
2.3.- Lock the spray gun trigger with the safety latch.
2.4.- Open the product return key (No. 4) to then be able
to recover the product remaining inside the unit.
2.5.- Turn the pressure regulator (No. 5) clockwise until
the product flows out of the product return probe (No. 3),
thus returning the existing product inside the unit to its
container or gravity cup (No. 1).
The unit is now ready to be immediately cleaned.
Always use an appropriate thinner when cleaning the unit.
Always use water for waterborne products, for other products
always use whatever is recommended by the manufacturer of
the product to be applied.
1.- Add the thinner to the gravity cup (No. 1) or an external
container where the suction probe (No. 2) is located, by
inserting in both cases the product return hose (No. 3).
2.- Connect the unit to the compressed air network (No. 10)
3.- When the solvent starts to flow through the product return
hose (No. 3) close the return key (No. 4).
4.- Turn the pressure regulator control (No. 5) to adjust the
working pressure.
5.- Pull the spray gun trigger, holding it until the sprayed
product is clean thinner and free from the product previously
applied.
