PREPARATION
Note: Proper paint/material mixture helps
to ensure less problems. Be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
General tips for Preparation:
1. Mix and thin the paint/materials
thoroughly according to the manufac-
turer’s directions.
2. Carefully strain the paint/material
through a paint strainer or piece of
cheese cloth.
3. Swing the Cup Locking Lever (32) out
of the locked position to remove the
Cup (31) from the Unit. Fill the Cup
to approximately 3/4 full. Place the
Cup back in the Cup Mounting Yoke
(33), rotate the Cup to lock it onto
the yoke, and swing the Cup Locking
Lever (32) to the locked position.
4. Start the air compressor.
5. To adjust the spray pattern, set up a
piece of scrap material to practice on.
While practicing on the scrap mate-
rial, check to see that the liquid you
are spraying has the appropriate con-
sistency. If it appears too thick, add a
very small amount of thinner or water
(not included). BE CAREFUL when
thinning. Proceed slowly, adding very
minimal amounts. NEVER exceed
the paint manufacturer’s thinning rec-
ommendations.
Fan Direction
