ACTUAL SPRAYING TECHNIQUES.

The spraygun should be held perpendicular to the surface at all times.
HOLD THE GUN NO MORE THAN 8” (20cm) AWAY FROM THE SURFACE
TO BE PAINTED. But closer is ok.

CORRECT METHOD

Start moving the spraygun in the direction you want to spray and press the
trigger. Between each successive pass, overlap by about a quarter.

INCORRECT METHOD

PRESSURE POT USE FOR 4-STAGE OR 5-STAGE TURBINE

If  you  use  a  4-stage  Turbine  or  higher,  a  compressor  is  NOT  needed  to
pressurize the Fuji Spray 2 Qt. Pressure Pot.

The Fuji Spray 2 Qt. Pressure Pot Assembly 5432 has unique features.  These
features  combined  with  additional  pressure  from  the  Fuji  Spray  4-stage
Turbine,  allows  the  user  to  connect  the  larger  capacity  pot  to  the  Turbine
system without the need for a compressor.

To  connect  the  Fuji  Spray  2Qt.  Pressure  Pot  Assembly,  remove  the  cup
assembly and the pressurizing tube 2024 from the spraygun.

For XPC - Connect your material line (fluid hose) to the fluid coupler 8005 on
the gun.
For GXPC – You will need to order an additional L-Fitting 9060.  Attach this L-
Fitting to the G-Fluid Coupler 9051 and connect your material line (fluid hose)
to the other end of the L-Fitting.

You  must  block  off  the  air  that  would  normally  go  from  the  gun  to  the  cup
assembly. This nipple can be covered with Nipple Cap 5411.

PRESSURE POT USE FOR 3-STAGE

If  you  use  a  3-stage  Turbine  or  lower,  a  compressor  IS  NEEDED  TO
PRESSURIZE THE POT.

PLEASE NOTE: The Fuji Spray 2 Qt. Pressure Pot Assembly 5432 has been
designed for Turbine use and is NOT compatible with a compressor.  However,
you are able to hook up a standard 2Qt. Pressure Pot with a compressor.

To connect to a Pressure Pot, remove the cup assembly and the pressurizing
tube 2024 from the spraygun.

For XPC - Connect your material line (fluid hose) to the fluid coupler 8005 on
the gun.
For GXPC – You will need to order an additional L-Fitting 9060.  Attach this L-
fitting to the G-Fluid Coupler 9051 and connect your material line (fluid hose)
to the other end of the L-Fitting.

You  must  block  off  the  air  that  would  normally  go  from  the  gun  to  the  cup
assembly. This nipple can be capped with Nipple Cap 5411.

If using a 2-stage or 3-stage Turbine, we recommend the use of a compressor.
Set  the  compressor  to  between  6-8  PSI.  This  is  enough  to  push  the  paint
material up to the gun. For spraying at greater heights (over 8 feet), more fluid
pressure may be necessary. The fluid pressure should never be set at more
than 20 PSI. If you find a higher pressure is needed, we advise you to check
the material hose for paint blockage.

Never, for any reason, point the spraygun directly at the face, or head of
a person
