PREPARATION

Note: Proper paint/material mixture helps to ensure less problems. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions.

General tips for Preparation:

1.Mix and thin the paint/materials thoroughly according to the manufac- turer’s directions.

2.Carefully strain the paint/material through a paint strainer or piece of cheese cloth.

3.Swing the Cup Locking Lever (32) out of the locked position to remove the Cup (31) from the Unit. Fill the Cup to approximately 3/4 full. Place the Cup back in the Cup Mounting Yoke (33), rotate the Cup to lock it onto the yoke, and swing the Cup Locking Lever (32) to the locked position.

4.Start the air compressor.

5.To adjust the spray pattern, set up a piece of scrap material to practice on. While practicing on the scrap mate- rial, check to see that the liquid you are spraying has the appropriate con-

sistency. If it appears too thick, add a very small amount of thinner or water (not included). BE CAREFUL when thinning. Proceed slowly, adding very minimal amounts. NEVER exceed the paint manufacturer’s thinning rec- ommendations.

Fan Direction

To change the direction of the fan, loosen the Lock Ring (2) and turn the Air Cap (1) 90°. After the adjustment, tighten the Lock Ring (2) by hand. (See FIG. 3 below.)
