SET-UP

Warning! Be sure to use appropriate protective gear

and unplug unit.

Warning! Make sure area is well ventilated and free of

flammable vapors.

Aligning the pickup tube (FIG B and B1)

The pickup tube can be aligned in the direction that you

will be doing the most spraying to help minimize the

amount of times that you will have to refill the canister.

f If you are spraying at an upward angle or straight on,

position the pickup tube (Figure B) toward the back

of the canister.

f If you are spraying at a downward angle, position

the pickup tube (Figure B1) toward the front of the

canister.

This will ensure you spray as much material as possible

before you need to refill.

Liquid material preparation (FIG C, C1 and C2)

Tip: Make sure the type of material you use can be

cleaned with either mineral spirits or paint thinner (for oil-

based paints) or a warm water and soap solution (for water

soluble paints like latex). Use drop cloths during pouring,

mixing, and viscosity testing of materials to be sprayed to

protect your floors and anything else in the spraying area

that you wish to remain untouched.

The liquid being sprayed may need to be thinned (diluted)

before starting. When thinning, use the proper liquid

thinner recommended on the container by the material

manufacture.

Warning! Do not use materials with a flashpoint higher

than 60ºC (140ºF).

A 2-

3/4

quart mixing bucket is provided to use

when transferring spray material from the original

container into the bucket for thinning and

measuring purposes (Fig. C).

A viscosity test cup is provided to determine the

“runout time” of the material being used.

f Before measuring for the proper viscosity, stir the

material thoroughly.

f Dip the viscosity cup into the material being sprayed

and fill the cup completely.

f With the cup held over the material container,

measure the amount of time it takes for the stream

of material flowing out to “break” or stop being a

constant stream out of the bottom of the cup (2

minutes or less) (Fig. C1). This is the “runout time”

Refer to the thinning table for information on the

thinning required for different materials.

f If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid

thinning material recommended by the manufacturer

(Fig. C2).

f It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit,

however, the required thinning may exceed material

manufacturer´s recommendation. Thin latex paint so

that it runs through viscosity cup in under 2 minutes.

The operator should con- sider the type of application

and final location of the project when spraying a

material that requires more than 2 min- utes to run

through the viscosity cup.

PREPARATION TIPS

f Always stir and strain the material thoroughly before

use.

f With any spraying job you should always ensure that

you have properly prepared the surface to get the best

finish. That is, all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust

and grease. Lightly pressure wash decks or exterior

surfaces and ensure that they are dry before spraying.

f Even though HVLP sprayers have very little

overspray, it is recommended that you mask all edges

and other areas and use drop cloths to protect your

floors and anything else in the spraying area that you

wish to remain untouched.

f Skin that forms on the top of paint can clog the

sprayer. Remove skin before mixing. Strain with a

funnel with a filter attached or through hosiery to

remove any impurities that could clog system.

f Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc.

available for unexpected spills.

FILLING THE CANISTER (FIG. D)

f Check to make sure that the canister is completely

screwed onto the sprayer.

f Lay the sprayer on its side with the canister side lid

facing up.

f Unscrew the lid on the side of the canister.

f Pour the properly thinned and strained material to be
