Using the viscosity meter (Figg.F1-F3)
This instrument indicates the viscosity in secon-
ds. Mix the product and the diluents well. Fill the
viscosity meter (15 Fig.A) with the substance
to be sprayed and count the seconds the liquid
takes to flow out of the hole at the bottom
altogether. This period of time is the viscosity
expressed in DIN-seconds (DIN-s). Continue
trying various dilutions until the correct viscosity
(DIN-s) for the given product is reached.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SPRAY GUN.
Suction pipe adjustment (Fig.F3)
Check that the paint suction tube (9 Fig.A) is
well inserted on the gun and facing in the di-
rection that ensures complete emptying of the
tank (Fig.F3).
Output flow adjustment (Fig.F4)
Adjust the direction of the paint outlet flow by tur-
ning the throttle nozzle (12 Fig.F4) CLOCKWISE
to the desired position.
Horizontal or vertical jets (HH-VV) are recom-
mended for large surfaces. The round spray (CC)
is instead used for small objects or for the most
difficult to reach places (corners, edges, etc.).
Supply angle adjustment (Fig.F5)
Use the adjustment lever (13 Fig.F5) to obtain
the desired dispensing angle.
Flow rate adjustment (Fig.F6)
To change the quantity of paint dispensed, use
the adjustment wheel (6 Fig.F6).
Screw in completely to get the maximum capa-
city and unscrew to decrease.
It is advisable to start from a low flow rate and
gradually tighten the wheel until you get to spray
the desired amount of paint.
Inserting and replacing the nozzles (Fig.H)
Select a nozzle (14) based on the desired spray
jet diameter and enter it as follows:
1 Unscrew the ring nut (11) from the spray
unit (1).
2 If a nozzle has already been inserted, remove
it from the spray unit with a screwdriver if
necessary.
3 Insert the desired nozzle into the spray unit.
4 Reposition the components following the
diagram shown in the figure.
FILLING THE TANK (fig.F7- F8)
ATTENTION, before introducing the paint in
the tank it is advisable to disconnect the main
body of the motor (2 Fig.F7).
Fill the tank without exceeding the limit of the
graduated scale to prevent the paint from clog-
ging the upper entry holes
gun air during use.
N.B. For correct operation, we recommend
screwing the tank to the body of the gun, tighte-
ning it well (Fig.F8).
SPRAYING METHOD (fig.G)
The movement of the gun must be regular and
always maintained at the same distance and
parallel to the surface to be treated (Fig. G).
We recommend a distance between 10 and 30
cm depending on the adjustment and the type
of paint used. Above all it is important to have a
movement always parallel to the surface to be
treated in order to obtain a homogeneous pain-
ting. Never apply a rotary movement that could
damage the quality of the finish, the movement
should be horizontal if the spray is vertical or
vertical if the spray is horizontal. Round spray
requires a greater distance from the object to be
painted. In any case we advise you to do some
tests before starting to paint.
