Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually relieved to prevent the system from starting or spraying acci- dentally. To reduce the risk of an injury from acci- dental spray from the gun, splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Proce- dure whenever you:
Dare instructed to relieve the pressure,
Dstop spraying,
Dcheck or service any of the system equipment,
Dor install or clean the spray nozzle.
1.Turn off the air and fluid supply to the gun.
2.Trigger the gun into a grounded metal waste container to relieve air and fluid pressure.
Applying the Fluid
When using the HVLP spray gun, instead of a conven- tional air spray gun, you may need to use a slightly slower hand movement and make fewer passes with the gun to coat a part. This is due to the reduced spray velocity produced by lower HVLP air pressures, along with a larger fluid particle size because there is less air to blow off solvents than what is produced by conven- tional air spray. Take care to avoid runs or sags as you spray.
1.To achieve the best results when applying fluid, keep the gun perpendicular to the surface and maintain a consistent distance of approximately 6 to 8 inches (150 to 200 mm) from the object being sprayed. See Fig. 14.
2.To obtain an even finish, use smooth, even strokes across the object being sprayed with 50% overlap.
3.Paint using parallel strokes. This spray gun applies all coatings evenly without cross coating.
