For ACT
and
ACT-XXL
(also see the
CART TURBINE
manual: CT-9, CT-18, CR9K and CR18K).
- Fill in the tank with the product to be used and seal hermetically.
- Connect the product tube with the union (11) and tighten well by means of proper wrenches, set the tank
pressure to 1 bar and increase progressively to achieve the pressure necessary to spray the product.

10. REGULATIONS TO OPTIMISE THE APPLICATION OF MATERIALS .
Product flow rate:
- Turn the regulator (3) to the right = to increase the product quantity
- Turn the regulator (3) to the left = to decrease the product quantity
Attention:
If you turn the regulator (3) completely to the left = no product will be dispensed.
Air flow rate:
- Turn the regulator (4) to the right = to increase the air quantity
- Turn the regulator (4) to the left = to decrease the air quantity
Attention:
If you turn the regulator (4) completely to the right = maximum air quantity.
Notes:
- MAX air flow rate:
keep the nozzle air regulator (4) completely turned to the right to achieve the maximum lever travel (6) and,
therefore, even the maximum air opening.
Finish degree:
-
To optimise and improve the spray finish, increase or decrease the air quantity by acting on the regulator (4) to vary the air/product
proportion while keeping the tank pressure and product flow rate unchanged.
- Turn the cap to obtain 3 different types of spray: oval vertical, oval horizontal or round (Figure .
B
.).
- To paint uniformly, it is recommended to start moving the arm before acting on the dispensing lever and to keep the spray gun
perpendicular to the surface to be painted while performing crossed coats to avoid any irregularity in the paint layer (Figure .
C
.).
For the
ACT-S
model, also act on the air cock (10) on the tank cover.
11. MAINTENANCE .
To make sure that the spray gun will perfectly work all over the time, clean it at the end of each work cycle to prevent any
product residue from drying inside.
For a better cleaning:
ACT
and
ACT XXL
: after use clean all parts with water or detergent suitable for the product in use.
ACT-S
and
ACT-AS
: after use pour clean water or detergent suitable for the type of product in use into the tank, shake the
tank/spray gun and spray (repeat the operation until it is perfectly clean).
Keep the equipment clean and always efficient by observing the instructions for operation and maintenance.
NEVER USE SHARPENED METAL OBJECTS TO CLEAN CLOGGED HOLES SINCE THEY MIGHT DAMAGE THE SPRAY GUN.
