MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
HOW TO OPERATE
1.Adjust operating air pressure from 3 to 4 bar(45 to 57 PSI).
NOTE:
Valve orifice inside three- way solenoid valve should be minimum ø 4 mm (0.157 in) and also operating air hose length should
be within ø 10m (32.8ft) with the inner diameter more than 6 mm (0.236in) to avoid delayed operation and any kind of failure.
2.Although atomizing air pressure varies according to spray conditions, pulling the piston of the gun with the pattern adj. set fully
opened, adjust it normally 2 to 4 bar (28 to 57 PSI)
3.Recommended paint viscosity differs according to paint property and painting conditions. 15 to 23 sec/Ford cup# 4 is recommendable
4.Air pipe set can rotate by 360°. Loosen cover set on air pipe holder, then set the position of air pipe set.

Spray a small amount of thinner to clean fluid passages.
Especially clean fully and promptly after use with two-component paint.
2. Clean each section with brush soaked with thinner and wipe out with waste cloth.
2. Do not immerse the whole gun in thinner. If done, it can damage parts.
When cleaning, never scratch any holes of air cap set, fluid nozzle,
or fluid needle set.
3. Before disassembly, fully clean fluid passages.
3. During disassembly, do not scratch seat section.
