IDEAL VISCOSITY
This spray applicator can be used with products having a viscosity ranging from 25 to in
excess of 75 seconds. Dip the viscosity cup into the material and fill up. Timehow long it
takesfor the viscosity cup to empty (Fig.3).
Usingthe above chart (or manufacturer ’s instructions)as a guide determine if the material
requiresfurther thinning, if so then thin accordingly.
Some paints are outside the ranges above. Please contact our helpline for further
information. Fig.3
OPERATION
PREPARATION
GFillthe paint container with the material to be sprayed. DO NOT OVERFILL above MAX level indicator. Push
theFeed Tube firmly into the base of the spray applicator body and re-fit the paint container into the spray
applicatorbody. (See exploded view on page 8 to show the fitting detail for the different spray applicator
types.)
GUnwindthe hose from the Carrier Stand & screw the motor end of the hose to the outlet port at the front of
theturbine unit. Connect the spray applicator end of the hose to the spray applicator using the quick release
connector.Uncoil the power cord and plug it in to a suitable power outlet.
ALWAYSKEEP THE MOTOR UNIT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYINGAREA AS POSSIBLE TO
PREVENTPAINT CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR.
TAPEANY AREA YOU DO NOT WISH TO SPRAY.
Onceyou have set up ready to spray, switch on the unit. No paint will be sprayed until the trigger on the spray
applicator is gently pulled. Before starting any work on spraying actual objects we suggest you spend some
timepracticing on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how the spray applicator works.
SETTINGUP YOURSPRAY APPLICATOR
GChoosethe best Needle & Fluid Tip for your application.
YourSpray Port is supplied to you with a 2.0mm diameter Needle & Fluid Tip. This is a good size for most
applications.However, there are other sets available to cater for a wider range of materials that you may want
tospray. In general, the larger the diameter of the Needle & Fluid Tip, the more suitable it is for higher viscosity
materials. The larger diameters also allow a greater volume of material to be applied.The smaller diameters
are more suitable for low viscosity materials & lighter application. For the Spray Port type “P”, Needle & Fluid
Tipsets are available at 1.0mm and 1.5mm diameter. For the Spray Port type “A”, Needle & Fluid Tip sets are
availableat 1.0mm, 1.5mm and 2.5mm diameter. See page 8 for details.
