Material Preparation
note: Material to be sprayed may need to be strained
to remove any impurities in the paint which may enter
and clog the system. Impurities in the paint will give
poor performance and a poor finish.
note: Only thin the material if absolutely necessary
to improve spray performance. Optimal spray
performance should be acheived simply by adjusting
the various controls on the unit.
To Prepare the Material:
1. Stir the spraying material thoroughly.
2. Unscrew the cup from the nozzle.
3. After the material has been properly thinned and
strained, fill the container to desired level.
note: Model 590 only. Use the included paper
funnels in order to more easily fill the cup.
Thinning the material:
For certain spraying situations or desired finishes,
thinning the material may be desired. It is not necessary
for most materials when used with the iSpray nozzle.
For use with the Detail Finish nozzle thinning may be
needed to acheive a finer finish. Make sure you adjust
the X-Boost™ and Material flow settings for your specific
material needs.
If thinning is necessary, use the proper solvent as
specified by the material manufacturer. Never exceed
the thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer.
FLEXiO model 590 sprayers come with a thinning
accessory that can be used to accurately thin spray
material. Refer to the included instruction sheet.
Do not thin with materials that have
a flashpoint below 70°F (21°C). The
material flashpoint should be shown on
the material container.
