2.4CONNECTING THE HOSE TO THE TURBINE

With the power switch in the OFF position, uncoil the air hose and screw it hand-tight to the turbine air outlet.

Although the hose is designed for industrial use, it is not crushproof. Do not stand on the hose for extended periods. For information on wire-bound crushproof hoses, please contact your local HERO distributor or HERO directly. Also, the hose should never be used to pull the turbine or form a sharp angle at the air outlet – this can cause premature wear of the hose, restriction of the airflow and/or overheating of the hose.

2.5CONNECTING THE SPRAY GUN AND TEST SPRAY

Always ensure that the gun is clean prior to being used. Any paint residue and/or particles left in the paint cup and/or fluid tubes from previous use can spoil a finish and possibly affect the performance of your sprayer.

Using the information provided in the Gun Accessory Kit or in Section 3.3 of this manual, determine whether the Needle, Fluid Tip and Air Cap combination in the gun is suitable as a starting point for your application. If not, refer to Section 3.3 of this manual for Needle, Fluid Tip and Air Cap selection, and Section 4.4 for instructions on Changing The Needle, Fluid Tip and Air Cap.

To install the hose on the gun, pull back the ring on the Quick Disconnect Coupler to connect it to the male tail piece on the end of the gun handle. If your unit is not equipped with a Quick Disconnect Coupler, connect the air hose to the gun by screwing it hand-tight to the male threads at the base of the handle of the gun.

For proper Testing Prior To Spraying, refer to Section 3.8 of this manual.
