Setup
Use the following procedures to set up your spray gun and
HVLP power cart.
Converting the Gun to Pressure Feed
Before using the HVLP power cart, it is necessary to convert
your spray gun from a cup gun to a pressure fed gun.
1. Loosen the retaining nut using a wrench and remove the
one quart cup assembly.
2. Pull the air tube off of the air tube fitting on the spray gun.
3. Remove the air tube fitting using a 1/4” wrench.
4. Thread the set screw into the air tube fitting location and
tighten into place.
Connecting the Power Cart
1. Connect the pressure pot hose to the pressure pot inlet.
2. Thread the end of the material hose onto the pressure pot
outlet and tighten.

NOTE: The hose features quick-disconnect fittings. To
use, pull back on the spring-loaded collar of
each fitting. Slide the hose fitting over the
correct connection and release the collar.

3. Thread the other end of the material hose onto the spray
gun inlet and tighten.
Preparing to Spray
Use a pot liner in the pressure pot when spraying or
cleaning with hot solvents such as lacquer-based paints,
lacquer thinner, and M.E.K. The use of hot solvents in the
pressure pot without a pot liner may lift the paint off the
interior of the pressure pot and contaminate the paint
finish. Refer to the parts list in this manual for the pot
liner part number.
1. Fill the pressure pot
with spray material.
2. Fasten the cover
securely onto the
pressure pot by
placing the five
locking clamps into
the cover grooves
and rotating each
clockwise until hand
tight. Be certain that
the seal is in place.
3. Plug in the power
cords for both the
compressor and the
turbine. Turn on the
compressor.
4. Pull out the pressure
control knob and
turn it until the
pressure is set
properly for the type
of material you are
using.
For thin materials,
set to 8 PSI.
For thicker
materials, set to
between 8 and 14
PSI.
5. Turn on the turbine.
6. Practice spraying on a piece of scrap wood or cardboard
until you are satisfied with the pressure, spray pattern,
and spray shape. The spray pattern adjustments and
spray shape selections are described in your gun manual.
