• If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid thinning material | D2 |
recommended by the manufacturer (figure D2). | |
• It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit, however, the required thinning | |
may exceed material manufacturerʼs recommendation. Thin latex paint so that it |
|
runs through viscosity cup in under 2 minutes. The operator should consider the |
|
type of application and final location of the project when spraying a material that |
|
requires more than 2 minutes to run through the viscosity cup, |

PREPARATIONTIPS |
|
|
• Always stir and strain the material throughly before use. |
| |
• With any spraying job you should always ensure that you have properly prepared the surface to get the best finish. | ||
That is, all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease. Lightly pressure wash decks or exterior surfaces and | ||
ensure that they are dry before spraying. |
|
|
• Even though HVLP sprayers have very little overspray, it is recommended that you mask all edges and other areas | ||
and use drop cloths to protect your floors and anything else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched. | ||
• Skin that forms on the top of paint can clog the sprayer. Remove skin before mixing. Strain with a funnel with a filter | ||
attached or through hosiery to remove any impurities that could clog system. | ||
• Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc. available for unexpected spills. | ||
FILLING THE CANISTER - (FIGURE E) |
|
|
• Check to make sure that the canister is completely screwed onto the sprayer. | ||
• Lay the sprayer on its side with the canister side lid facing up. |
| |
• Unscrew the lid on the side of the canister. |
|
|
• Pour the properly thinned and strained material to be sprayed into the side fill | ||
canister (figure E). TIP: Use the mixing bucket provided to pour material | ||
from the original material container into the side fill canister. | ||
• Clean any residual liquid from the threads or sides of the canister and sprayer. | ||
• Starting the threads evenly, screw the lid completely onto the side fill canister. | ||
Check the lid to make sure it is threaded on squarely and completely before | ||
picking up the sprayer. |
