SPRAYER CONTROLS
X-BOOST™ FLOW CONTROL
The X-Boost™ flow control adjusts the level of air flow produced by the turbine. Pressing
the (+) button will increase the air flow. Pressing the (-) button will decrease the air flow.
The indicator bars will light up and show the air flow the turbine is currently spraying.
Whenever the turbine is turned ON, the air flow will automatically be set to 3 bars
(medium air flow).
•
A high air flow level will result in faster coverage and a smoother finish with thicker
materials.
•
Lowering the air flow will result in larger drops of material being sprayed from the
gun, and will create a slightly rougher finish.
Tip: The thicker the material you are spraying, the higher the turbine air flow you will need.
Tip: For fine-finish work with thinner materials, you may want to decrease the air flow. Spraying a thinner material at high air flow
will result in more overspray. Overspray is sprayed material that does not stick to the spray surface and bounces back.
MATERIAL FLOW CONTROL
The material flow control determines the amount of spray material that is sprayed
from the spray gun.
iSpray Nozzle - The material flow can be adjusted incrementally from 1 (minimum) to
12 (maximum) by turning the adjustable material flow control
Detail Finish Nozzle - Set the material flow by turning the grey knob on the trigger
of the spray gun.
•
For thicker materials, it is recommended that you start with the highest material
flow setting and then gradually decrease the flow to suit your particular spraying needs.
•
For thinner materials, it is recommended that you start with a low material flow setting, and then gradually increase the flow
to suit your particular spraying needs.
•
The higher the flow setting, the quicker you will have to work in order to avoid drips and sags in your spray pattern.
Tip: Spraying with the control set too high will result in a spray pattern that runs and sags (too much material).
Tip: Spraying with the control set too low will result in a spray pattern that does not cover (not enough material).

Spray performance will depend upon a number of factors: material thickness, air flow, spray pattern selected,
and material flow. Testing different variations of the control settings will help you achieve the desired results.
