Tank Regulator

The pressure regulator on the paint tank controls the amount of pressure applied to the paint in the paint tank. It also controls the pressure of paint delivered to the spray gun.

The following are operating guidelines for internal and external spray guns:

Internal Mix Guns: Use higher tank pressures up to the full amount of air pressure being delivered to the spray gun. However, do not exceed 45 PSI at the spray gun or in the paint tank.

External Mix Guns: Use lower tank pressures—approximately 12 PSI for most external mix guns. Start with the tank at "zero" pressure and increase pressure gradually until the correct spray pattern is achieved.

Do not exceed the 50 PSI maximum operating pressure on your paint tank. Exceeding the maximum pressure may cause the tank to explode, causing serious personal injury.

EXPLOSION HAZARD! DO NOT smoke or have any source of flame or spark near spraying. Vapors will explode if ignited.

RESPIRATORY HAZARD! Always use a NIOSH approved respirator when using spray equipment. Failure to protect your lungs can lead to respi- ratory illness and nervous system damage. Spraying some paints and varnishes may require a supplied air respirator system.

This pressure tank is not designed for use with highly abrasive, corrosive, or rust inducing materials. If such materials are used, frequently and thoroughly clean all components to

reduce the need to replace parts.

TOXIC FUMES! Always use an approved spray booth or well ven- tilated area when spraying. NEVER spray in a confined space where toxic fumes and flammable vapors can accumulate to deadly levels.
