be harmful to health. Always read carefully all labels and safety/performance data for the material
being sprayed and follow any recommendations. IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT THE MATERIAL
SUPPLIER.
The use of respiratory protective equipment is recommended at all times when spraying. The
type of respiratory protective equipment used must be compatible with the material being
sprayed and the level of concentration.
Always wear eye protection when spraying or cleaning the equipment.
Gloves must be worn for spraying or cleaning the equipment when certain coating materials and
solvents are used.
TRAINING
Personnel should be given adequate training in the safe use and maintenance of this equipment.
Training courses on all aspects of the equipment are available. For details contact your local
representative. The instructions and safety precautions contained in this literature and the literature
supplied with the coating material should be read and understood before the equipment is used.
MISUSE
All spray guns project particles at high velocity and must never be aimed at any part of the body.
Never exceed the recommended safe working pressures for any of the equipment used.
The fitting of non-recommended or non-original accessories or spare parts may create hazardous
conditions.
Before dismantling the equipment for cleaning or maintenance, all pressures, air and material,
must be isolated and released.
The disposal of non-metallic materials must be carried out in an approved manner. Burning may
generate toxic fumes. The removal of waste solvents and coating materials must be carried by an
authorized local waste disposal service.
The materials used in the construction of this equipment are (bearing in mind the warning on
Halogenated Hydrocarbon) solvent resistant enabling the equipment to be cleaned using gun
cleaning machines. However, this equipment must not be left inside the gun cleaning machine for
prolonged period of time after the automatic cleaning cycle has been completed
The solvents used in the gun cleaning machine should be regularly checked to insure that the
equipment is not flushed through with contaminated material. Follow the recommendations of the
machine manufacturer.
NOISE LEVENLS
The continuous A-weighted sound pressure level of this spray gun may exceed 85 dB(A) depending
on the air cap/nozzle set-up being used. Sound levels are measured using an impulse sound level
meter and analyser, when the gun is being used in a normal spraying application. Details of actual
noise levels produced by the various air cap/nozzle set-ups are available on request.
DESCRIPTION
APOLLO-L (LVMP) has been developed aiming at high transfer efficiency. The most merit of this
gun is that fine atomization and high transfer efficiency can be obtained with less air consumption
comparing with the conventional spray guns. LVMP stands for Low Volume Medium Pressure; Low
Volume means low air consumption and Medium Pressure means medium atomization air pressure.
In addition to the above, the gun body of APOLLO gun is made of Magnesium and it makes super
light weight possible.
CAUTION:
APOLLO-L (LVMP) gun is suitable for almost all of general paint except for high corrosive and high
abrasive paint. If these paint may be used, thorough cleaning must be done frequently. Also, the
replacement of the parts will be more frequent. Please ask the supplier for advice if you have any
doubt of the paint.
