10.1.- Clean Air
The air used for spraying
must reach the gun free of impurities, aerosols, oil, silicone and solid
particles. To do this you must eliminate these with coalescent filter units.
The use of
air treatment equipment
with built-in pressure regulators is recommended (Models
SAGOLA 5200X, 5300X or 5300X Plus).
10.2. Sufficient volume of air
A sufficient volume of air can be supplied to the gun by means of an air compressor of adequate
power
(1HP equals 110 L/min approximately), a good compressed air network and by avoiding
pressure drops through the use of antistatic , silicon-free air hoses with a minimum inside diame-
ter of 8 mm. and resistant to the spraying air pressure ( minimum 20 bar ) and to the aggressive
effects of paint solvents
. Before assembling the air network, you must check on the air tightness
of the hose.
Use antistatic air hoses. Should an antistatic air hose not be available , you must attach
the unit to a ground connection
in order to eliminate any static electricity.
The total derivative resistance must be <100 million ohms.
10.3. Adjusting Air Pressure
The gun leaves the factory with the internal flow regulator fully open. In
order to adjust this to the required pressure , turn the regulator clockwise
to reduce the inlet pressure and anticlockwise to increase this.
10.4. Amount of Product to be applied
Once the product to be applied has been adequately diluted, turn the
Product Regulator clockwise to reduce the amount of product and
anticlockwise to increase this.
During application, the amount of product applicable in areas that are
small or difficult to access can be reduced by reducing the pressure
applied with one's finger.
10.5. Application distance
Adjust the distance between the air nozzle and the object to cover to
between 10 and 20 cm, depending on the application
, in accordance
with this, the product to be applied and working conditions, in order to
increase transfer and obtain a reduction in the amount of mist in
accordance with the air nozzle used in each case.
11. Maintenance
In order to carry out maintenance, repairs or cleaning,
first disconnect the unit from the compres-
sed air distribution network.
Do not apply excessive force or inadequate tools for maintaining and cleaning the unit. Some
repairs must be done with special tools on some occasions.
In these cases, you must contact the Customer Service of SAGOLA . Any handling of this product
by non-authorised personnel would render the warranty null and void.
The unit must be overhauled on a periodic basis to check the status of its components and
replace these when they are not in perfect condition.
IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULTS, ALWAYS USE
ORIGINAL SPARES. ENSURE TOTAL INTERCHANGEABILITY,
SAFETY AND OPERATION.
11.1. Changing the self-adjusting Packing gland
The needle gaskets that form part of the packing gland are gun components that should be
replaced when malfunctions occur or when there is a loss of air tightness
.
