GETTING STARTED

Please  register  your  Fuji  Spray  Product  at  www.fujispray.com/product-registration

NOTE: Throughout this Manual we have used the generic word ‘Paint’ to
describe all and any coatings. Please substitute the word ‘Paint’ for
whatever finish or coating you are spraying.

Your Fuji Spray Gun has been adjusted at the factory and is ready for spray-
ing. To clean out any impurities that may have accumulated during assembly
or shipping, we recommend spraying a small quantity of clean paint thinner
through the gun. Before tackling any serious spraying, experiment with the
Gun on a scrap piece of wood until you become familiar with all the controls.

HOSE CONNECTION

Connect the Hex Nut at the end of the Hose (Female Connector) to the
Turbine Air Outlet. 

Tighten this Nut lightly. Overturning could cause the

internal Manifold to rotate and break the internal Seal to the Motor. 

A Male

Quick Connect Coupler 2046M is available as an accessory for the connec-
tion to the turbine.

AIR CONTROL VALVE

The Air Control Valve 2032 is located on the Hose next to the brass Quick-
Connect. It provides you with a means of controlling the air flow through the
Gun. It offers you fingertip control when you need it to reduce bounceback
and overspray. It is important to remember that the Air Control Valve - is the

last in the chain

’ of operations after...

1)   Thinning the paint
2)   Adjusting the shape and size of the spray pattern
3)   Adjusting the flow of paint through the Gun.

After performing these operations, you should spray a few passes onto a
scrap piece of plywood or cardboard. This will allow you to determine if the
paint levels nicely. Once the Gun is producing a perfect finish with full air, you
may then experiment with turning the air down until bounceback is reduced
to a mininum. However, if orange-peel results, you have no option but to turn
the air up again a slight amount.

PLASTIC DIAPHRAGM

The 1 Quart pressurized Cup has a plastic Diaphragm 2038 (not found in the
Gravity Spray Gun). This Diaphragm prevents paint from entering the Pres-
sure Tube 2024. The small air hole in the Diaphragm should not be placed
directly below the air hole in the Nipple. Position the Diaphragm hole to the
rear of the Cup. The Spray Gun can be turned to different angles when
spraying but never turned more than horizontal.
