Prepare the Fluid
1.
Always strain the fluid before spraying; this
includes color, reducer and hardeners if used.
2.
When using a turbine spray system, you need to
use a slower drying reducer or thinner to compen-
sate for the faster drying time caused by the
warm air of the turbine.
Do
not over reduce.
CAUTION
The performance of the turbine sprayer will vary
with the viscosity of the material. Unnecessary hose
length will cause the air pressure to drop.
Paint Reduction
-
Automotive Type Finishes
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer's spec-
ifications. To compensate for the faster drying time
of
turbine systems, use a reducer one-step slower than
what
is
used
for conventional air spray.
Paint Reduction
-
Industrial
or
Domestic Coatings
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer's spec-
ifications. If no reductions are given, first thoroughly
mix the fluid to be sprayed. Then gradually mix in the
proper reducer, testing the fluid
until
you
have the cor-
rect spraying consistency.
To
test the consistency: Remove the stir stick from the
thinned paint. When the.paint stream running
off
the
stir stick breaks into droplets, the first few drops
should be about one second apart.

Accessory Remote Pressure Pot
WARNING
The.accessory remote pressure pots remain pres-

manually relieved. To
reduce the risk of serious injury from pressurized
fluid or accidental spray from the gun, always
relieve pressure in the pressure pot before loosen-
ing or removing the cover.
