delivered from the air cap and projects a fine atomized mist to your work piece. Spray pattern control will vary depending on
the spray gun model. Consult your individual spray gun manual for detailed operation and maintenance of your spray gun.
2.3 Preparing To Use Your HVLP Turbine System
Connect the air hose to the turbine. Pull back the spring loaded quick disconnect coupler and insert the male connector on
the air hose into the turbine connector. Release the ring. Your air hose will be locked into place. To release the air hose, pull
back on the spring-loaded quick coupler ring with your fingers and pull. Connect other end of hose to spray gun using this
same procedure. Plug the power cord into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes
and ordinances.
NOTICE
Do not cover or enclose the turbine. It is important to draw cool/ambient air through the unit for
optimum performance. Avoid placing the turbine in a warm environment or in direct sunlight.
Do not spray in ambient temperatures above 90 degrees. If you want to be able to spray in
hotter temperatures we recommend placing a fan in front of your turbine to help it pull in cool
air.
2.4 Familiarize Yourself With Your True HVLP™ Turbine Spray Gun
Refer to your Spray Gun Instruction Manual for information, setup, and operation of your model spray gun.
You are now ready to spray your coating of choice on your work piece. Good quality results with your TrueHVLP™ spray
finishing equipment are a combination of careful preparation of your project, a proper spraying environment, a basic
knowledge of the coatings you will be using and how these coatings work with your TrueHVLP™ spray equipment.
Pressure will remain in the spray cup when unit is off. If you pull the trigger back, a stream of fluid
will flow. To prevent accidents, turn material flow screw clockwise until it is completely closed. The
trigger is now locked in the closed position.
Note: It is not necessary to empty and clean your spray gun when you pause between applications. Be sure, however, to
clean your spray gun thoroughly at the end of your work session. Do not leave material in your spray gun overnight. Extra
caution must be taken when spraying coatings that have a catalyst or hardener added. These coatings can harden in your
spray gun quickly, making cleaning difficult or impossible. Read manufacturer’s coating instructions as to how much time you
have before catalyst/hardener begins to set up.
