OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FOR BINKS SV100
™
HVLP SPRAY GUN
Your new SV100 HVLP spray gun is
exceptionally rugged in construction and
is built to stand up under hard,
continuous use. However, like any other
fine precision instrument, its most
efficient operation depends on a
knowledge of its construction, operation
and maintenance. Properly handled and
cared for, it will produce beautiful,
uniform finishing results long after other
spray guns have worn out.
SET-UP FOR SPRAYING
Connecting Gun To Air Hose
Air should be supplied by a suitable
length of 5/16" diameter air hose fitted
with a 1/4" NPS(f) connection at gun
end. For hose lengths over 50', use 3/8"
diameter hose.
Connecting Gun To Fluid Hose
Fluid should be supplied by a suitable
length of 3/8" diameter fluid hose fitted
with a 3/8" NPS(f) connection at gun
end. 1/4" diameter hose is recommended
for use with low viscosity fluids. (Fluid
hoses of different composition are
available for special fluids.)
SPRAY GUN CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS
In certain states it is now against the law
to spray solvents containing Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC)’s into the
atmosphere when cleaning a spray gun.
In order to comply with these air quality
laws Binks recommends one of the
following two methods to clean your
spray finishing equipment:
1. Spray solvent through the gun into a
closed system. An enclosed unit or
spray gun cleaning station condenses
solvent vapors back into liquid form
which prevents escape of VOC’s into
the atmosphere.
2. Place spray gun in a washer type
cleaner. This system must totally
enclose the spray gun, cups, nozzles
and other parts during washing,
rinsing and draining cycles. This type
of unit must be able to flush solvent
through the gun without releasing
any VOC vapors into the atmosphere.
Additionally, open containers for storage
or disposal of solvent or solvent-
containing cloth or paper used for
surface preparation and clean-up may
not be used. All containers shall be
nonabsorbent.
Pointers On Cleaning
When used with 1 quart cup, relieve
pressure in the cup. Then unscrew,
empty and carefully rinse cup out with
thinners. Place clean thinners in the cup
and spray this through the gun until it is
clean. Blow air through gun to dry it.
When Used With Pressure
Container
Shut off air supply to container and
release the pressure on the container.
Loosen retaining ring two turns, hold a
piece of cloth wadded in the hand over
the gun nozzle and pull the trigger. The
air will back up through the fluid nozzle
and force the fluid out of the hose into
the container. Empty container. Put
enough thinner into the container to
wash hose and gun thoroughly and spray
this through the gun until it is clean.
Then blow out the fluid hose to dry it
and remove all traces of fluid by
attaching it to the air line.
When used with Paint
Circulating System
Shut off fluid supply and remove fluid
hose from gun. Clean gun with compatible
solvent. To ensure a clean air supply to
your spray gun, use separator filter.
See your Binks distributor for the
correct model.
CAUTION
All parts on a spray gun should be
screwed in hand tight at first; this
will avoid the possibility of cross
threading the parts. If the parts
cannot be turned by hand easily,
make sure you have the correct
parts, unscrew, realign, and try
again. NEVER use undue force in
mating parts.
