1 PRESSURE TANK
1.1 Description
10 litre pressure tank provides pressurized material up to a maximum of 5.5 bar (80 psi). This tank is equipped with
an air regulator, gauge, safety valve and fluid outlet. It is constructed of only the finest materials for durability. The 10 l
capacity enables you to handle most any job with professional results. This versatile tank can also spray materials other
than paint.
1.2 Warnings
This pressure tank is not designed for highly abrasive, corrosive or rust inducing materials.
If used with such materials, frequent and thorough cleaning is advised to reduce the
necessity for replacement of parts.
Air pressure loads that are higher than design loads, or alterations to the pressure feed
tank can result in tank rupture or explosion.
• A safety valve protects the tank for over pressurization. During each use, pull the ring on the safety valve to check if it
operates freely and relieves air pressure. If the valve is stuck, does not operate freely or does not relieve air pressure,
it must be replaced. Do not discard or make any alterations or substitutions to this valve.
• Do not make any changes to the air tank. Tampering in the form of drilling, welding, etc. will weaken the tank.
• The maximum operating pressure of the tank is 5.5 bar (80 psi).
1.3 Installation
Follow the manufacturer directions for the mixing and preparation of materials. Strain material using a fine mesh screen in
order to prevent the entry of foreign matter and the clogging of passageways.
1. Always relieve air pressure in the tank. Pull the ring on safety valve until pressure bleeds down.
2. Loosen thumb screws, tip lid clamps back and remove lid assembly.
3. Pour material into the tank.
4. Replace the lid assembly and tighten clamps and thumb screws securely.
5. It is best for the air supply line to pass through a transformer to filter dirt form air and remove entrained water and
oil. Connect the air supply hose to the air inlet fitting on tank regulator.
6. Attach the atomization air hose to the air outlet fitting which is directly opposite air inlet fitting.
7. Connect material hose to the fluid outlet fitting.
8. Refer to figure below for a typical assembly.
