I.C.T.C. Holdings Corporation 1240 manual Spray Pattern Selection, To Begin Spraying

3.7OPERATING THE SPRAY GUN

Fill the cup as necessary (up to the shoulder maximum) with the properly diluted paint or coating. Do not overfill the cup as this may cause leakage or may block the air pressure holes and prevent pressurization of the cup.

Spray Pattern Selection

To select the desired spray pattern, rotate the Air Cap at the front of the gun. When Air Cap is in the diagonal position, the spray pattern will be round; when in the horizontal position, the spray pattern will be vertical; and when in the vertical position, the spray pattern will be horizontal.

Air Cap Position

Spray Pattern

To adjust the size of the pattern when spraying with a “S” gun (11CS or 11PS: Spring Loaded Air Cap), turn the Sleeve Nut on the front of the gun, and lock it in place with the Locking Ring once the proper size has been determined. To adjust the size of the pattern when spraying with a Fixed Air Cap Gun (10C, 11C, or 11P), use the Material Flow Adjustment Screw as a means of adjusting the pattern size. If this is not adequate, upgrade to a “S” gun for finer control.

CAUTION: When adjusting the size of the spray pattern with a “S” gun, moving the Air Cap too close to the Fluid Tip may cause an undesirable figure-8 pattern; moving the Air Cap too far from the Fluid Tip will eventually prevent spraying altogether.

To Begin Spraying

Switch the turbine power switch to the ON position.

To control the thickness of the coat being applied, slowly turn the Material Flow Adjustment Screw (at rear of gun) counter-clockwise while squeezing the trigger of the gun. Continue turning the screw until the appropriate material flow has been achieved to provide the desired coating thickness and finish. For best results, select the Needle, Fluid Tip and Air Cap combination that allows you to have the trigger fully engaged.

Maintain a consistent distance of 6-8 inches from the surface and spray in a smooth continuous motion.
