Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Turn off all bleed type air valves and all
other air and fluid supplies to the gun.
2. Trigger the gun into a grounded metal
waste container to relieve air and fluid pres-
sure.
Apply Fluid
The spray gun has a built-in lead and lag oper-
ation. When triggered, the gun begins emitting
air before the fluid is discharged. When the
trigger actuation air is stopped, the fluid stops
before the air flow stops. This helps ensure
that the spray is atomized and prevents fluid
buildup on the air cap and tip.
Adjust the system control device, if it is auto-
matic, so the gun starts spraying just before
meeting the part and stops as soon as the part
has passed.
To achieve best results when applying fluid:
•
Keep gun perpendicular and 6 to 8 in.
(150 to 200 mm) from object being
sprayed.
•
Use smooth, parallel strokes across sur-
face to be sprayed with 50% overlap.
