4. Assembly
1.
Connect the regulator assembly to the swivel adaptor on the tank lid. Check the bottom of the regulator for the location of the tank collection.
2.
Insert the lift handle into the threaded hole in the centre of the tank lid. Tighten the hex nuts with spanner provided.
3.
Connect the air supply hose to an air inlet fitting on the tank regulator (right or left side optional).
4.
Attach the atomisation air hose to an air outlet fitting which is directly opposite the air inlet fitting.
5.
Connect the material hose to the fluid outlet adaptor located on the tank lid.
6.
Check all fittings and connections are secure before use.
5. Air Pressure Regulator
The pressure regulator is used to manage the amount of pressure applied to the paint in the tank and determines the pressure of the paint being
delivered to the spray gun.
Always start with the pressure in the tank at “zero” and increase the pressure in the tank gradually until the required spray pressure and pattern is
obtained for the job at hand.
Recommended paint tank pressures:
1. Internal Mix Guns:
Use higher paint tank pressures up to the maximum pressure (but not exceeding 50lbs).
2. External Mix Guns:
Use lower paint tank pressure.
Important:
Before turning on the air pressure, screw out the air regulator T-Handle adjusting screw all the way counter-clockwise to shut off the
pressure. Turn on the air, then adjust the regulator to the required pressure (approximately 12lbs for external mix guns). Never exceed 50lbs air
pressure.
6. Operation
1.
Before filling the tank, ensure that the paint is thoroughly mixed and strained to remove skins or undissolved particles that might otherwise
block the flow of material through the hose and spray gun.
Note:
The 10L Paint Tank can hold most 1 gallon paint tins (these can be set inside the tank without the user having to pour the paint into the
paint tank directly.)
2.
Place the lid assembly on the tank and hand tighten the tank lid clamp screws to secure.
3.
Shut off the paint tank regulator by turning the T-Handle counter-clockwise. Adjust the compressor regulator to obtain the required air pressure
to the spray gun.
4.
Adjust the regulator on the paint tank to obtain the desired air pressure for the materials and surface being sprayed. The higher the painting
surface is above the level of the paint tank, the more pressure you will need for effective spraying. Normal operating pressure on the paint tank is
25 - 30PSI.
To reduce the pressure, rotate the T-Handle adjusting screw counter clockwise until the desired pressure setting is obtained.
Important:
Never exceed 80PSI pressure when using this equipment.
