Adjustments; Operation - Kawasaki 691562 Mode D'emploi

DO NOT EXCEED Maximum Pressure of Spray Gun or any other parts in the
compressor system.
Maximum pressure is 50 PSI. Consult with the paint manufacturer for recom-
mended air pressure.
Some Regulatory Agencies prohibit the operation of HVLP spray guns above
10 PSI nozzle atomizing pressure.
6. After connecting the gun to
air supply, make sure that
the Cup Cover, Cup and Air
Hose have been connected
tightly with spray gun.
7. Set up a piece of cardboard
or other scrap material to
use as a target and adjust
for best spray pattern.

ADJUSTMENTS

• The direction of the fan (horizontal or vertical)
can be changed by loosening the Air Cap Nut and
turning the Air Cap 90 degrees. Hand tighten Air
Cap Nut after adjustment.
• Amount of material released (density of "fan
spray") is controlled by Fluid Control Knob. Turn
knob counterclockwise to increase, or clockwise
to decrease, the fluid flow.

• Test the consistency of the material by making a few strokes on a cardboard
target. If material still appears too thick, add a small amount of thinner. THIN
WITH CARE! Do not exceed paint manufacturer's thinning recommendations.
1. Begin spraying. Always keep the gun perpendicular to the work.
2. Keep the nozzle about 6 to 12 inches from the work surface. Grip the gun per-
pendicular to the spraying area, then move it parallel several times. Stopping
the gun movement in mid-stroke will cause a build up of paint and result in
runs. Do not fan the gun from side to side while painting. This will cause a build
up of paint in the center of the stroke and insufficient coating at each end.
3. If spray is too fine, then decrease the air pressure or open fluid control knob. If
the spray is too thick, then close the fluid control knob. Regulate the pattern
width and repeat adjustment of spray as needed. Using the lowest possible
atomizing air pressure will reduce over-spray and provide maximum efficiency.
4. Trigger the gun properly. Start the gun moving at the beginning of the stroke
BEFORE SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER and release the trigger BEFORE STOPPING
GUN MOVEMENT at the end of the stroke. This procedure will blend each stroke
with the next without showing an overlap or unevenness. Spray pattern may be
infinitely adjusted from round to flat. The spray pattern of the gun is variable
from round to flat with all patterns in between.
5. The amount of paint being applied can be varied by the speed of the stroke, dis-
tance from the surface and adjustment of the fluid control knob.
• Width of "fan spray" is governed by
Pattern Adjustment Knob. Turn knob
counterclockwise to increase, or clock-
wise to decrease, air flow.
• Air quantity is controlled by Air Volume
Control Knob. Turn knob counterclock-
wise to increase, or clockwise to
decrease, the air flow.
