GETTING STARTED 

 
Thank you for choosing a Turbinaire HVLP Sprayer for your spray equipment needs. The following steps 
will help you get started quickly and easily.  
 
For a condensed version of the Operating Instructions and Spraying Tips of your Turbinaire sprayer, please 
refer to the yellow sheet included with your system.  If this sheet is missing or has been lost, please contact 
your local Turbinaire distributor or Turbinaire directly, we will be pleased to mail, fax, or e-mail you a new 
copy. 
 
The following instructions are meant to be a guideline for success with your Turbinaire sprayer.  Although 
practice makes perfect, there are a number of books, videos and courses available on the market to help 
you further refine your knowledge and skills of spraying in general, should you wish to do so. 
 
 

TURBINE & HOSE SET-UP 
 

1.  With power switch in OFF position, place turbine as far away from the spray area as possible and 

plug into a standard power outlet.   

 

2.  Uncoil  the  25’  air  hose  and  install  it  hand-tight  to  the  turbine  air  outlet.  If  you  purchased  

TSG-3295 (optional 5’ Heavy-Duty Hose) install it first and then install the 25’ hose to the male end 
of TSG-3295. If you purchased TSG-3285 (optional 5’ flex hose) remove the brass Quick Connect 
Coupler from the 25’ hose and install it on the male end of TSG-3285; then connect the female end 
of TSG-3285 to male end of 25’ hose. 

 
Although the hose is designed for industrial use, it is not crushproof.  Do not stand on the hose for extended 
periods. Also, the hose should never be used to pull the turbine or form a sharp angle at the air outlet – this 
can cause premature wear of the hose, restriction of the airflow and/or overheating of the hose.
