Operation
Using
1. Before starting to work, check the trigger to make sure it moves freely.
Connect the hopper spray gun to the compressed air supply.
2. Set up the air pressure according to the used coating material. Pour the
coating material to be processed into the hopper. The hopper has a max.
capacity of 7 litres.
3. Make test runs. This way you can determine the optimum amount of coating
material and the different spray patterns.
The movement speed of the spray gun depends on the size of the nozzle, the
distance to the surface (wall or ceiling), the consistency of the coating material
and the used air pressure.
4. Do not spray in an arc on the surface and do not interrupt spraying as this will
lead to uneven or too little coating material distribution onto the surface.
Always keep the spray gun in a constant distance to the surface. Hold the
spray gun vertically to the surface to be sprayed and move the spray gun
evenly and in parallel lanes from one side to the other.
5. Before cleaning the hopper spray gun, check the work first. After work empty
remaining coating material into an appropriate bin. Properly dispose of coating
material that is no longer needed.
Fresh treated surfaces must not be exposed to direct sunlight, to very high or
low temperatures, wind, dust, water or rain.
Cleaning
When using water-soluble coating material, simply clean all parts of the hopper
spray gun thoroughly with water.
Should it be necessary to disassemble the hopper spray for thoroughly cleaning,
observe the correct order of the components when assembling the gun (see
explode diagram on page 15). Always be careful when disassembling and
assembling the spray gun.
Maintenance
Lubricate all moving parts of the hopper spray with suitable non-silicone grease.
All parts such as nozzles, seals, adjusters, etc. are wear parts and must be
exchanged with original spare parts in frequent use.
