Even when the turbine unit is off, pressure will remain in the spray
cup. If you pull the trigger back, a stream of solution will flow. To
prevent accidents, turn solution flow screw (#10) clockwise until it
is completely closed. The trigger is
now locked in the closed position. You can also simply aim the gun at a towel and pull the
trigger to release any pressure in the cup.
Note: It is not necessary to empty and clean your spray gun when you pause between
applications. Be sure, however, to clean your spray gun thoroughly at the end of your work
session. It is a bad idea to leave solution in your spray gun overnight.
PROPER SPRAY TECHNIQUE
TURBINE MAINTENANCE
The
Apollo Mighty-Mist™ Turbine unit needs virtually no maintenance. The motor has sealed
bearings that are prelubricated. No service is necessary. Each week it is a good idea to clean the
Mighty-Mist™ turbine air filters. Clean filters are critical to good performance and equipment
longevity. Your Mighty-Mist™
turbine
has 2 replaceable filters. Remove the two hex-head securing
nuts in order to remove the filters for cleaning or replacement. Periodically wash the filter element
with warm water and dishwashing soap. Make sure you fully dry the filter element before re-installing
them in the turbine. Dirty filters will reduce the air being drawn through the motor, causing the unit to
run abnormally hot, diminish spray performance and reduce the life of the motor. Clean and/or
replace your filters regularly. Use the maintenance record sheet to keep track of your equipment use.
