3.0 Mode Of Operation

NOTE: Unlike previous apparatus, it is possible here to alter the spray pattern with the air flow control screw (large knurled screw)!
  • Twisting the air flow control screw in decreases the air flow and thus reduces the material spray mist.

    This facilitates optimum working when preserving open components/surfaces. 

  • Twisting the air flow control screw out increases the air flow and thus the material spray mist (for closed cavities).
  • The trigger lever has two stages.

    Stage 1 - discharge of air only.

    Stage 2 - discharge of air and material.

  • After finishing work, press the first stage to clean the spray hose with compressed air.
  • When storing, remember to twist the air flow control screw closed to prevent the material from drying out.
  • Clean the gun prior to extended periods of non-use (approx. 2 weeks and upwards).
  • To ensure that the spray hoses function properly, do not store the hoses coiled up e.g. in the frame side member area!

    Store spray hoses stretched out.
