Installation

Connect the Air Line

Install an air line filter (H) to ensure a clean, dry air supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture in the line can ruin the appearance of your finished piece.

Install Air Pressure Regulator 1lo-776 (F) to control the air pressure to the gun and limit it to 10 psi (0.7 bar) Maximum Operating Air Pressure.

Install a bleed-type master air valve (C) on the main air line. Install a bleed-type master air valve or air pressure relief valve (P), which is easily accessible from the pump and downstream from the pump air regulator (E).

NOTE: The gun air inlet has a l/4-1 8 npsm @1/4-l 9) compound male thread that is compatible with NPSM and BSP female swivel connectors.

Install fluid drain valve(s) (J) to help relieve fluid pressure.

NOTE: The gun fluid connector (6) has a l/4-18 npsm (Rl/4- 19) compound male thread that is com- patible with NPSM and BSP female connectors.

Install an in-line fluid filter (see part no. 210-500 in the Accessories section) on the gun fluid connector

(B)to avoid clogging the spray tip with particles from your fluid.

Connect the grounded fluid hose (L) to the gun fluid connector (B) or optional in-line filter.

Connect the air hose (K) from the air supply to the gun air inlet.

Connect the Fluid Line

Install a fluid pressure regulator (M) to control fluid pressure to the gun. Some applications require fine-tuned control of fluid pressure. You can control fluid pressure more accurately with a fluid pressure regulator than by regulating the air pressure to the w-v.

Grounding

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury, be sure your entire system is properly grounded. Read FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 4. The gun is grounded by connecting it to a properly grounded pump and hose.

Operation

WARNING

The wallet sized warning card 179-960, provided with the gun, should be available and easily accessible at all times for anyone operating or servicing this equipment. The card contains important information on what to do if a fluid injec- tion injury occurs. Additional cards are available at no charge from Grace.

How the Air-Assisted Airless

Spray Gun Operates

The air-assisted airless gun combines airless and air spraying concepts. The spray tip shapes the fluid into a fan pattern, similar to a conventional airless spray tip, but at a lower pressure. Air from the air cap fur- ther atomizes the fluid and completes the atomization of the paint tails into the pattern. The pattern adjust- ment valve controls the width of the pattern.

The spray gun has a built-in lead and lag operation. When triggered, the gun begins emitting air before the fluid is discharged. When the trigger is released, the fluid stops before the air flow stops. This helps assure the spray is atomized and prevents fluid buildup on the air cap.

Note that the air-assisted airless spray gun differs from an air spray gun in that increasing the pattern air reduces the pattern width. To increase the pattern width, less pattern air or a larger size tip must be used.

Remember, this is not an air spray gun; for your safety be sure to read and follow the Warnings on pages 3 to 5 and throughout the text of thus
