This spray applicator can be used with products having a viscosity ranging from 25 to in ex-

 

cess of 75 seconds. Dip the viscosity cup into the material and fill up. Time how long it takes

 

for the viscosity cup to empty (Fig.3).

 

Using the above chart (or manufacturer’s instructions) as a guide determine if the material

 

requires further thinning, if so then thin accordingly.

 

Some paints are outside the ranges above. Please contact our helpline for further informa-

OPERATION

●Fill the paint container with the material to be sprayed. DO NOT OVERFILL above MAX level indicator. Push the Feed Tube firmly into the base of the spray applicator body (gun ’P’ only) and re-fit the paint container into the spray applicator body. (See exploded view on page 3 to show the fitting detail for the different spray applicator types.)

●Unwind the hose from the Carrier Stand & screw the motor end of the hose to the outlet port at the front of the turbine 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.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR UNIT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE TO PRE- VENT PAINT CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR.

MASK OFF ANY AREA YOU DO NOT WISH TO SPRAY.

Once you 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 time practising on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how the spray applicator works.

SETTING UP YOUR SPRAY APPLICATOR

●Choose the best Needle & Fluid Tip for your application.

Your SprayPort is supplied to you with a 2.0mm diameter Needle & Fluid Tip. This is a good size for most ap- plications. However, there are other sets available to cater for a wider range of materials that you may want to spray. In general, the larger the diameter of the Needle & Fluid Tip, the more suitable it is for higher viscosity ma- terials. 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 SprayPort type “P”, Needle & Fluid Tip sets are available at 1.0mm and 1.5mm diameter. For the Spray Port type “A”, Needle & Fluid Tip sets are available at 1.0mm, 1.5mm and 2.5mm diameter. See page 8 for details.

HV7000 specifications

The Earlex HV7000 is an advanced, high-performance paint spraying system designed for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts seeking a quality finish on a variety of surfaces. Particularly known for its versatility and efficiency, the HV7000 combines innovative technologies to simplify the painting process while delivering impressive results.

One of the standout features of the Earlex HV7000 is its high volume low pressure (HVLP) system. This technology allows for a more controlled spray pattern, reducing overspray and material waste. The HVLP principle enables the user to apply paints, stains, and finishes evenly with minimal effort, making it an ideal choice for intricate projects, furniture refinishing, or even larger surface applications.

The unit is equipped with a powerful 650-watt turbine, which provides a robust airflow, ensuring a consistent and smooth application. The turbine is designed to maintain high performance while generating less noise than traditional air compressors, making the HV7000 a quieter option in the workshop or on the job site.

Another notable characteristic is the adjustable spray pattern. Users can easily switch between horizontal, vertical, and circular spray patterns simply by turning the nozzle. This flexibility allows for optimal application on different surfaces and project types, whether it's large flat panels, detailed trim work, or intricate designs. The adjustable fluid control knob also enables fine-tuning of the paint flow, allowing for precise application based on the specific requirements of the project.

The Earlex HV7000 includes a 1-quart paint container with a locking lid, which prevents spills and makes changing colors or materials hassle-free. Additionally, the system supports a wide range of coatings, including water-based and oil-based paints, stains, and varnishes, providing users with the flexibility to create the desired finish.

Ease of cleaning is another user-friendly feature of the HV7000. The detachable components can be quickly cleaned, ensuring minimal downtime between projects and prolonging the life of the equipment.

In summary, the Earlex HV7000 stands out due to its HVLP technology, powerful turbine, adjustable spray options, and ease of use and cleaning. This high-performance paint sprayer is a valuable tool for achieving professional-quality results in various painting applications, making it a popular choice among both hobbyists and professionals alike.
