This is correct. Air blows constantly when Turbo unit is ON.
2.
Turbo unit turned ON. Unit does not operate or blow air?
Check that the unit is plugged in to proper electric source. Be sure there is power at the
electric source.
If there is no problem with electric supply, call for technical support.
3.
Turbo unit is turned ON, the trigger is pulled back on Spray Gun, but no solution comes out?
Check that the cup is screwed firmly to Spray Gun.
Check that there is no solution bubbling or leaking around the cup.
Turn Turbo unit OFF. Unscrew cup. Be sure that Solution Tube and Disc (#14) are
connected and have not come loose. Locate the two small holes in the Disc around
the Solution tube. Be sure that these two small holes are not clogged with dried
solution. To clean, carefully insert a pin through each hole ensuring that they are clear.
Turn Turbo unit OFF. Remove air cap ring, remove air cap, remove Air Distributor Plate.
Remove Solution nozzle (#3) with an adjustable wrench or spanner. There is a Solution
nozzle gasket (#4) on the Solution nozzle. Do not lose it. Rinse Solution Nozzle under
running water and check for dried solution that may have blocked the hole. Reinstall
Solution Nozzle Gasket. Reinstall Solution Nozzle, Air distributor plate, air cap and air
cap ring. Try spraying again. If you still have a problem call for technical support.

Solution leaks in front of trigger.

spraying again. If leaking continues the Solution Needle Packing needs to be replaced.

Packing’s (4). Replace. Reinstall Solution Needle Packing Screw. Tighten
all the way, and then back off slightly. (1/8 turn) Test spray gun for leakage. If you still
have a problem call for technical support.
