USAGE
1.
Perform the startup procedure on the main unit (refer to the main unit
operation manual).
2.
Once the system is on and the compressor is running, return to the spray
gun and open the air valve. Ensure that air is flowing out of the nozzle.
Attention
Never trigger the spray gun without air supply on. Doing so
will significantly reduce the life of the nozzle and spray gun.
3.
Once the system has achieved the desired pressure and heat settings
(refer to the main unit operation manual and material manufacturer’s
temperature recommendations) the A and B side material inlet valves
can now be opened.
4.
The system is now ready to spray. The gun will not spray until the trigger
and trigger safety are depressed at the same time. This can be achieved
by making sure the user’s hand is gripping the trigger while at the same
time setting the trigger safety within the user’s palm.
Attention
Damage to the spray gun may result when used with an air
pressure lower than 30 PSI.
i
The spray gun trigger will be locked (it will not spray) as long
as the trigger safety is not depressed.
It is recommended that the sprayer be tested on a scrap piece
of cardboard somewhere outside of the immediate intended
spray area.
4.1
CHANGING THE NOZZLE
i
Nozzle performance is something that can be felt and seen
very easily. A new nozzle should produce approximately 300
cycles per minute (CPM) spraying performance.
Once the Helix LP is linked and ready to spray, press #4 on
the A side control panel. This will display the cycle rate. This
range can vary with material and temperature.
When the cycle rate drops about 10%, a change in
performance should be noticeable, requiring a slower
spraying movement. The cycle rate will gradually decrease
as the nozzle usage increases.
At approximately 100-120 cycles per minute (CPM)
applicators may find that spraying movement speed is too
slow and replace the nozzle.
i
The main unit will automatically manage the pressures and
ratio regardless of the cycle rate. It will not be necessary to
make any system adjustments.
If any leakage is noticeable at the spray gun, immediately
stop spraying, close all ball valves on the whip hoses, and
replace the spray gun.
