ALWAYS GROUND ALL OF THESE
COMPONENTS
1. Turbine: plug the power supply cord, or
extension cord, each equipped with an
undamaged three-prong plug, into a properly
grounded outlet. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
Use only a 3 wire extension cord that has a
grounding plug, and a receptacle that will
accept the grounding plug on the product.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge.
2. Hose: use only grounded hoses.
3. Spray gun: grounding is obtained through
connection to a properly grounded hose and
turbine.
•
NEVER use cleaning solvents with flash points
below 140 degrees F. Some of these are:
acetone, benzene, ether, gasoline, naptha.
Consult your supplier to be sure.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
This HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure) turbine
uses a controlled cone of high volume, low
pressure air created by the gun which can spray
with very little waste and overspray. This high
efficiency delivery absolutely minimizes air
pollution emissions associated with paint spraying.
Media which are traditionally sprayed by high
pressure compressor driven paint sprayers can be
sprayed by this new technology. The paint drying
times are even quicker because the air from the
turbine is naturally warm.
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
1. Remove all parts from the carton.
2. Check for any damage.
3. Attach the hose to the turbine.
4. Attach the hose to the gun.
PREPARATION
Prepare the paint solution
Strain the paint and all other media components
before you spray
Remember to use a slower drying reducer than you
would normally use with a conventional air sprayer.
The warm air of the turbine causes faster drying
times. Usually one step slower will do.
For Automotive finishes, reduce and catalyze
according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions,
just remember to use one step slower reducer.
For Industrial finishes, reduce and catalyze
according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions.
If there are no reduction instructions, add reducer
step by step untill the proper consistency is found.
Droplets off the stir stick should be about one
second apart.
WARNING:
Universal motors, like the one used in this
turbine, by their nature create sparks at the
commutator. Whenever spraying flammable
media, keep the turbine at least 6 meters (20
feet) away from the spraying area.
OPERATION
1. Ensure that all protective clothing and safety
devices are in place and Fill the paint cup.
2. Allow the turbine to warm up by turning it on
for a few minutes before beginning spraying.
(This will make adjusting the gun easier).
3. Adjust the gun on a test surface, then begin
spraying
