Never mount oil and water extractor on or near the air compres­s­or.
During compression, air temperature is greatly increased. As the air cools down to room temperature, moisture condenses in the air line, on
its way to the spray gun. Therefore, always mount the oil and water extractor at a point in the air supply system where the compressed air
temperature is lowest.
Drain air lines­ properly.
Pitch all air lines back­ towards the compressor so that condensed moisture will flow back­ into the air receiver where it can be drained off.
Each low point in an air line acts as a water trap. Such points should be fitted with an easily accessible drain. See diagram above.

This spray gun is rugged in construction, and is built to yield exceptional value. The life of this product and the efficiency of its
operation depend upon a k­nowledge of its construction, use and maintenance.
SIPHON FEED CUP HOOKUP
Air pressure for atomization is regulated at
extractor. Amount of fluid is adjusted by fluid
control screw on gun, viscosity of paint, and
air pressure.
PRESSURE FEED CUP HOOKUP
For fine finishing with limited spraying. Air pressure
for atomization is regulated at extractor; fluid
pressure at cup regulator. For heavy fluids and
internal mix nozzle spraying, fluid adjusted by
control screw on gun.

TyPES OF INSTALLATION
PRESSURE FEED TANK HOOKUP
(Double regulator)
Air pressure for atomization and fluid supply is
regulated by two individual air regulators on tank­.
PRESSURE FEED TANK HOOKUP
(Single Regulator)
Air pressure for atomization is regulated
at extractor, fluid pressure at tank­ regulator.
PRESSURE FEED CIRCULATING HOOKUP
For fine finishing with limited spraying. Air pressure for atomization is regulated
at extractor; fluid pressure at cup regulator. For heavy fluids and internal mix
nozzle spraying, fluid adjusted by control screw on gun.
