Setup
Ventilate the Spray Booth
The spray booth must have a ventilation system.
Electrically interlock the gun fluid supply with the
ventilators to prevent gun operation any time that the
ventilation air flow falls below minimum values. Check
and follow all local codes and regulations regarding air
exhaust velocity requirements. Verify the operation of
the interlock at least once a year.
Ground the Spray Gun
Ground the spray gun through connection to a properly
grounded fluid supply hose and pump. Check your local
electrical code and pump manual for detailed grounding
instructions. Use only electrically conductive fluid hoses.
Connect the Spray Gun
Air assist models: Follow all steps in the Connect the
Spray Gun procedure.
Airless models: Follow the Connect the Spray Gun
procedure beginning with step 3.
1. Connect the gun air supply hose (H) to the gun air
inlet (16). See F
IG. 4.
2. Connect the other end of the gun air supply hose
(H) to the gun air pressure regulator (C) or the air
shutoff valve (A) outlet. See F
IG. 5.
NOTE: Blow air through the gun fluid supply hose (G)
and flush it with a compatible solvent before connecting
to the gun.
Do not operate the gun unless ventilating air flow is
above the minimum required value. Provide fresh air
ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable or toxic
vapors when spraying, flushing, or cleaning the gun.
Interlock the gun fluid supply to prevent operation
unless ventilating air flow is above the minimum
required value.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
