Operation
5.2 Spraying
Before spraying, the work steps for commissioning must have been
performed (see chap. 5.1 ‘Putting the machine into operation’ on
page 33).
1.
Put the suction into the
spraying material.
2.
Open the compressed air
shut-off valve.
3.
Adjust the air inlet pressure
such that the pump runs
slowly.
4.
Unlock the spray
gun and trigger it until the
spraying material runs out
clean and free of bubbles.
Pump and hoses are now
completely filled with material.

5.
Let go of the gun trigger and lock the spray gun. The pump
should stop when the trigger is released.
6.
Close the compressed air shut-off valve.
7.
Relieve the pressure in the machine (see 5.5 ‘Relieving the
pressure’ on page 38).
8.
Install a spray nozzle suitable for the material used and the
nozzle protector.
Observe the operation manual for the spray gun. It contains a
table for selecting the spray nozzle and explanations for the
correct installation.
9.
Open the compressed air shut-off valve and adjust the spraying
pressure on the compressed air regulator of the pump
(see 5.2.1 ‘Setting the spraying pressure’ on page 34).
