11. Start-up
Before each start-up and especially after cleaning or repairing the unit, a check must be made that all
its elements are securely tightened.
If maintenance or repair work is to be carried out, the gun must be depressurised before work
begins ( without air pressure). Should this safety measure not be observed, this may lead to
malfunctions, personal injury and accidents, which may prove to be fatal. SAGOLA S.A.U. does
not accept any responsibility for the consequences of any non-compliance with these safety regulations.
Open the spray width and product regulators completely (without removing these from their housing)
by turning these anticlockwise. (See Fig.01 and Fig.02)
Place the pistol on a support so that the axis of the tank is vertical. Pour the product to apply into the
tank. Until the level is a maximum of 20-25 mm below the edge of the tank.
Tighten the filler cap firmly. In the version with the non-drip cap, tip it forward (paint up) or back (paint
down) as necessary.
Connect the gun to the compressed air network.
Adjust the air pressure in hte network regulator in order to compensate for any pressure drop in the
network (estimated at 0.6 bar for each 10 m. of hose).
Adjust the air pressure in the air nozzle by operating the flow regulator until the required quality
of finish is obtained (better finishes are not obtained with higher spraying pressures and these lead to
lower performance and worse product transfer).
Position the air nozzle spraying orifices appropriately (when an imaginary line is drawn through
the 2 lugs, this must beparallel or perpendicular to the floor) (Fig.04). Fully close the product regulator
by turning it clockwise; and perform the desired application test, adjusting the product regulators and
range as follows:
Open the product regulator until the appropriate amount of product comes out. Now you have the
maximum spraying width (spraying pattern). You can reduce this according to your needs by closing the
spray width regulator. (see Fig.05 and 06)
