An OIL PACK bottle is supplied with each pum, the OIL PACK is used to
refill the bowl (No. 68) of the hydraulic cylinder cover before the startup
of the pump.
The OIL PACK prevents that the paint dries on the hydraulic shaft and it
makes easier to detect leaks on the hydraulic cylinder. Replace if dirty
or damage.
FAILING TO USE THE OILPACK REDUCES THE LIVE OF THE COMPONENTS
1.- Insert the suction probe (No.2 Fig.2) in the container with the product to be applied or pour the
product in the cup of the unit (No.1 Fig.1).
2.- Turn the pressure regulator (No.05 Fig.3) clockwise, until you see that the product circulates
through the unit and flows through the return hose (No.03 Fig.3). In either of both cases, insert the
product return hose (No.03 Fig.3) in the actual product.
3.- Close the product return key (Nº04 Fig.3).
4.- Turn the product regulator control (No.05 Fig.3) to adjust the required pressure to be applied,
visible on the pressure gauge (No.08 Fig.3).
5.- Carry out an uncompromising application test by directing the application on an earthed
metallic container, WITHOUT the air cap on the gun.
6.- Pull the trigger of the spray gun while maintaining part of the same (for example the hand
guard), in contact with the container being sprayed. In a few seconds the product will start to flow
from the head of the gun without the air cap. Keep the product flowing until it there is a continuous
flow (no air) through the head.
7.- Activate the gun's safety latch.
8.- Assemble the air cap on the gun.
9.- Adjust the Spray Pressure:
Adjust the spray pressure by turning the pressure regulator control (No. 6) until the product flowing
from the gun is completely atomised.
To avoid spraying an excessive amount of product that causes excessive misting, and produces
premature wear of the air cap and the components of the unit, always use the lowest possible
pressure to obtain the performance and micronage expressed by the product manufacturer
(greater spray pressure does not mean a better finish, while it does mean worse performance and
product transfer).
Once the pressure at which the product atomises is determined, if a greater amount of product
needs to be applied, we recommend that, preferably, a larger air cap is used instead of increasing
the pressure.
To achieve the desired spray pattern, activate the gun's safety latch, loosen the screw that fixes
the air cap and move it to the desired position.
Tighten the air cap holder screw again. During application, the amount of product applied to areas
with difficult access, reduced space, etc. can be reduced by decreasing the travel distance of the
trigger when loosening the grip of your fingers on it.
Adjust the distance between the air cap and the object to be sprayed (10 / 20 cm.) depending on
the same, the product to be applied and the working conditions, in order to increase transfer and
obtain a reduction in the amount of mist depending on the air cap used in each case.
