• If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line
pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.
• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating
pressure of the air tool.
• A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/
regulator is used, it will keep the tool in good condition, but should
be regularly checked and topped up with oil. SAE 10 oil should be
used, and the lubricator adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute.
• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the air tool.
Ensure that air pressure does not exceed that stated in the
specification for the tool when running. Higher pressures and
contaminated air will shorten the life of the air tool due to faster
wear and is a possible safety hazard.
OPERATION
ASSEMBLY
Assemble the texture spray gun as follows. The numbers in brackets refer to the
Parts List & Parts Diagram on pages 10/11.
1. With the jubilee clip (5) around the hopper base loosened off, fit the
hopper (1) to the gun body, pushing the hopper onto body neck, (the
handle on hopper should be in line with the gun body). Tighten the clamp
sufficiently to prevent the hopper from moving.
2. When spraying upwards towards a ceiling, the 45deg elbow (6) should be
adjusted to keep the hopper in an upright position, securing it with both the
jubilee clips.
INSTALLING THE NOZZLE
1. To select a nozzle, prize off the
retaining cap (27) and choose
your nozzle from the selection
stored inside the body of the gun.
2. Depending on the viscosity of the
material to be sprayed, fit the
appropriate nozzle, (e.g, 1.5mm
and 2.7mm nozzles for medium
viscosity materials and 3.5 mm
nozzle for high viscosity materials),
as follows.
