Refer to the following information to operate and
understand your HVLP spray system.
i
Your system may include a short air (“whip”)
hose. The short hose should be connected to the
longer hose or a remote spraying system (sold
separately) and NOT directly to the turbine. See
your spray gun instruction manual for complete
instructions.

Setup
i
Use the following procedure to set up your HVLP
spray system for operation.
Keep the turbine at the maximum possible
distance from the spray area to safeguard against
explosion or fire that may be caused by sparking
electrical parts.
1.
Prepare your spray gun for operation. Refer to your spray
gun manual for material preparation, setup, and spraying
information.
2.
Attach the air hose to the air outlet on the turbine.
3.
Attach the air hose to the air inlet on your spray gun.
4.
Plug the turbine power cord into a grounded receptacle.
5.
Turn on the turbine and begin spraying.

dual filtration SySteM
The turbine has two different air filters— one for atomizing air
and one for cooling air. The atomizing air filter (1) 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 (2). The
cooling air filter (3) 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 (4).

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.
i
The filter warning system does not shut down
the turbine.
Attention
Clean filters regularly. Clogged filters can cause
excessive heat and possibly damage the turbine.
