4. USE OF THE MACHINE (continued)
4.2. ATOMIZATION
1. Prepare the surface to be painted (sanding, cleaning, etc...).
2. Connect the air hose to the connector (J) on the gun side and to the connector (Q) on the turbine side.
3. Depending on the product to be used, mount the suction rod (B) or the gravity tank (C) to the product
inlet connector (A).
4.
Fill the tank (C) with water or dip the suction rod (B) into a bucket of water.
5.
Connect the product hose to the gun connector (I) and to the cart connector (D) with the valve open.
6.
When using the HV460 gun, first connect the rotating coupling (M3) to the product inlet (I) before
connecting the product hose. For use with bowl (upper or lower), fill the bowl with water. Leave the
valve (D) closed.
7. Connect the cart electrically.
8.
Start the compressor using the switch (F).
9.
Press the trigger while pointing the nozzle at an empty bucket.
10. Use regulator (G) to change air pressure as recommended by the manufacturer of the product to be
sprayed. Wait for a steady stream of water to flow into the bucket.
11.
Pour the product into the tank (C), dip the rod (B) into the bucket of product or fill the bowl (M1 or
M2) with product.
12.
Press the trigger with the gun pointing at a bucket. Set the air adjustment (with the knob (G) or (O))
until you obtain a 20 cm jet, holding the gun horizontally. If the spray is too strong, decrease the
pressure, if the spray is too weak, increase the pressure.
13. The unit is ready to be used.
14.
Electrically connect the turbine and activate the switch (R).
15. For an optimal atomization, hold the spray-gun as horizontal a possible. The paint jet has to be
perpendicular to the surface to be painted, with a distance of about 20 cm.
16. Proceed by crossed sections, horizontal and vertical, directing the diffuser head as needed.
17.
Move the spray-gun with an uniform movement and a regular speed. Release the trigger at the end
of each section.
18. To avoid bleeding, press the trigger only after having begun the movement of the spray-gun.
19. Do not try to cover everything in one layer, prefer applying a second one.
If the movement is too rapid, the risk of a paint lack will be important. If, otherwise, the
movement is too slow, bleeding may occur.
To change the bowl of the HV460 gun, refer to its manual.
During utlization, use the potentiometer (S) to increase or decrease the air flow-rate into
the turbine.
