2.1 About Your New Spray Gun
The Apollo 7500 AtomiZer HVLP spray gun is a multi-use, multi-purpose HVLP spray gun. The 7500 AtomiZer will operate
on most professional HVLP turbine systems or as a TrueHVLP™ spray gun on any air compressor (3hp – 20 gal [75 liter]
tank or larger). The 7500 AtomiZer is designed to operate as a production spray gun from a fluid feed system, a bottom
mounted cup gun or as a top mounted cup gun.
2.2 The 7500 AtomiZer® & Turbine Systems
The 7500 AtomiZer is a standard turbine spray gun – non-bleed type. When the turbine is turned on, NO air will flow through
the spray gun. When the trigger is partially pulled, air will flow through the air cap. When the trigger is fully pulled, paint will
flow through the nozzle (tip) to meet the air flow, atomize and project to your work surface.
It is most important that your
turbine system be equipped with a proper internal air relief valve to
handle the back pressure when the trigger is released and the turbine
is running
.
All Apollo models manufactured after 2007 which includes; 725, 825, 835,
835VR, 1025, 1035, 1040VR, 1050, 1050VR, Power-3, Power-4, Power-5,
Precision-5 and Precision-6 are equipped with an internal air relief valve. All
other Apollo models manufactured prior to 2007 and not previously listed will
require an external relief valve that must be attached to the air outlet on the
turbine before using the 7500 Atomizer spray gun. Failure to install part
number A7538A when using the 7500 AtomiZer spray gun with older turbine
systems can cause premature failure of the turbine motor due to excessive
back pressure and will void your warranty.
If you are using the Apollo 7500 AtomiZer spray gun with a turbine system other than one manufactured by APOLLO, it is
advised to inquire with the turbine manufacturer to determine if your unit is configured to accept a non-bleed spray gun. If
you are not sure, or if you cannot get accurate information it is strongly advised that you install Apollo part number A7538
prior to using the 7500 AtomiZer spray gun.
