· Use the lowest spray pressure in the air cap, allowing you
to obtain the required finish. Not all products require the
maximum pressure for correct spraying. With lower pressure
there is an additional increase in product transfer.
· Pay special attention to the application speed. The thickness
of the film deposited may be greater than planned if the
application speed is low, and the opposite is also true.
· If the thickness of the layer is very thin, this is due to the
fact that the air pressure is excessive for the amount of
product being applied. Reduce the air pressure in the gun
in order to ensure that the thinner in the paint does not
evaporate during spraying and that it is not dry when it
reaches the surface to be painted. Increase the amount of
product, correct its viscosity or use a larger air cap in the
gun.
· If the film is very thick or granulated, this is due to the fact
that the amount of product to be applied is excessive for the
pressure used. Decrease the amount of product, reduce its
viscosity or use a smaller air cap in the gun.
· If sagging occurs, this is due to the fact that the amount of
product to be applied is excessive for the pressure used,
the viscosity is not correct or the application speed is not
adequate. Decrease the amount of product, adjust its
viscosity or increase the application speed until the required
finish is obtained.
The spray fan (spray pattern) obtained will depend on the
air cap used and on your adjustment. If you require caps for
other applications, contact the Technical Service of SAGOLA
S.A.
6. USEFUL TIPS
The Raider 300 equipment can be used to apply conveniently
diluted products used widely in the Construction, Automotive,
Timber, Plastics Industry, etc.
The product to be applied is supplied by the manufacturer.
From the manufacturer's container, with the unit in operation,
by means of suction and through the probe it flows to the
interior of the unit.
From the unit, through the product hose and the gun, the
product is sprayed.
7. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT
Before each start-up and especially after cleaning or repairing
the unit, a check must be made that all its elements are
securely tightened.
The first time you use your equipment there is no need to
depressurise it, as it is already supplied in a totally
depressurised state, though it will be necessary to do this
each time any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
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. does not accept any
responsibility for the consequences of any non-compliance
with these safety regulations.
9. START-UP
SAGOLA S.A. has service Kits for the repair and replacement
of consumable components in the unit, indicated in the
exploded view sheets.
8. SERVICE KITS
1) With the unit, hose and gun pressurised, turn the unit's
pressure regulator control (No. 4) anticlockwise (Minimum).
2) Pull the spray gun trigger, holding it until no more product
comes out of the gun.
3) Lock the spray gun trigger with the safety latch.
4) Open the product return key (No. 3)
5) Turn the pressure regulator (No. 4) clockwise until the
product FLOWS SMOOTHLY through the product return
Hose (No. 2)
