SprayTECH CAPspray CS9100, Owner'S Manual

Dual Filtration System

The turbine has two different air filters— one for atomizing air
and one for cooling air.  The atomizing air filter is a two-stage,
fine mesh filter designed to trap particles that may damage
your finish. The atomizing air is discharged through the nozzle
of the spray gun where it atomizes the coating material.  The
cooling air filter is a coarse mesh filter designed to allow the
proper amount of air flow through the turbine for cooling
purposes.  Cooling air is exhausted through the cooling air
discharge on the front of the turbine.

Filter Warning System

The filter warning system on your turbine consists of a red filter
warning light on the front control panel and an air flow switch
inside the turbine.  When the air flow switch does not detect
the appropriate amount of air flowing through the turbine, the
filter warning light will come on to indicate that it is time to
clean or change the filters.

Clean filters regularly.  Clogged filters can cause excessive
heat and possibly damage the turbine.

CAUTION

NOTE: The filter warning system does not shut down

the turbine.

Maintenance

Use the following procedures to keep your HVLP spray system
running properly.

Cleaning/Replacing the Filters

1. Remove each filter by grabbing them and pulling them

straight out of the filter cans on the turbine.  This will not
damage the filters.

2. Clean the filters.  Either tap the filters to knock out the

contaminants or use pressurized air to blow out the
contaminants.  For material that is not blown or knocked
loose easily, soak the filters in soapy water or mineral
spirits.  Allow the filters to dry completely before placing
them back in the turbine.

3. Insert each filter back into its corresponding filter can.

After several cleanings, it may become necessary to replace
the filters.  Refer to the parts list near the end of this manual
for the filter replacement kit part number.

NOTE: The two-stage, atomizing air filter must be

placed in the filter can labeled “2-Stage Filter”
with the green side facing the turbine.

NOTE: Do not use highly flammable solvents, such as

lacquer thinner, to clean the filters
