9. Preparation of the Coating Material
•
Mix the material well in the original container. When using interior wall paint, an
agitator is recommended.
i
The viscosity (thickness) of your paint may need thinning before spraying. Start
with a 10% dilution. Stir well. If further thinning is required dilute by 5% and
continue stirring until the finish of chosen coating is satisfactory.
Some units are supplied with a cup to measure the viscosity of coating material.
Fill the cup with coating material and allow to pour through. The flow of the
coating will change from continuous to broken. Time how long this takes and
use the table below as a guide to reach satisfactory viscosity.
Model Number of seconds
HV1900 50 seconds
HV2901 120 seconds
HV3900 130 seconds
HV3901 130 seconds
HV4500 120 seconds
HV5500 130 seconds
HV5901 150 seconds
To thin paint, add water to water-based paints and white spirit to oil-based
paints.
i
Spray material that is at least at room temperature provides a better spray
result.
10. Start-up
Before connecting to the mains supply, be sure that the supply voltage is identical with
the value given on the rating plate.
Put the machine down only on a level, clean surface. Otherwise, it may suck in dust, etc.
1. Remove the Paint Container (Fig. 1, 3)
Aligning suction tube. (Fig. 2)
If the suction tube is positioned correctly, the container contents can be sprayed
almost without any residue.
When spraying downwards, turn suction tube forward. (Fig. 2 A)
When spraying objects overhead, turn suction tube back. (Fig. 2 B)
2. Set the container on a sheet of paper, pour in the prepared coating material. Tighten
the container onto the spray gun.
3. Mount the air hose (Fig. 3). Insert the air hose firmly into the connection of the unit
(Fig. 3 B) and the gun handle (Fig. 3 A).
4. Press the ON/OFF switch.
