Initial Set Up
Read the ENTIRE IMpORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section
at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.
Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following
pages, refer to the Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual.
Before Setup
1. This air tool may be shipped with a
protective plug covering the air inlet.
Remove this plug before set up.
2. Before first use, clean the Spray Gun
using a solvent-based thinner.
If not removed, the material used
for testing and corrosion prevention
will contaminate paint.
Air Supply Setup
TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXpLOSION:
Use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed air to power this tool.
Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other bottled gas
as a power source for this tool.
1. Incorporate a filter, regulator with
pressure gauge, in-line shutoff valve, and
quick coupler for best service, as shown
on Figure A on page 7 and Figure B
on page 8. An in-line shutoff ball
valve is an important safety device
because it controls the air supply
even if the air hose is ruptured.
The shutoff valve should be a ball valve
because it can be closed quickly.
Note: Do not use an automatic oiler system or
add oil to airline. The oil will contaminate the
material being propelled, ruining the final result.
2. Attach an air hose to the
compressor’s air outlet. Connect
the air hose to the air inlet of the tool.
Other components, such as a coupler plug
and quick coupler, will make operation
more efficient, but are not required.
WARNING! TO pREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OpERATION:
Do not install a female quick coupler
on the tool. Such a coupler contains
an air valve that will allow the air tool to
retain pressure and operate accidentally
after the air supply is disconnected.
Note: Air flow, and therefore tool performance,
can be hindered by undersized
air supply components.
3. The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length
to allow free movement while working.
4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between
the compressor and the tool.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer’s directions and allow
it to build up pressure until it cycles off.
