Setup
Grounding
WARNING
Improper installation or alteration of the grounding
plug will result in a risk of electric shock, fire, or
explosion that could cause serious injury or death.
This equipment requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz, 15A circuit
with a grounding receptacle. See Fig. 2.

Extension cord must be 3-wire, 12 AWG, 50 ft (15 m)
or shorter.
Do not alter the ground prong or use an adapter.
Setup/Use Options
HVLP Turbine Sprayers have a variety of user options.
See Fig. 3.
D See HVLP–Turbine Gun manual 309205 for in-
formation on turbine spray gun setup and operation.
Prepare the Fluid
D Always strain the fluid before you spray; this
includes color, reducer, and hardeners if used.
D When using a turbine spray system, use a slow-
er drying reducer or thinner to compensate for the
faster drying time caused by the warm air of the
turbine. Do not over reduce.
CAUTION
The performance of the turbine sprayer varies with
the viscosity of the material and the length of the
hose. Keep the hose short to prevent pressure drop.
Paint Reduction — Automotive Type Finishes
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer’s speci-
fications. To compensate for the faster drying time of
turbine systems, use a reducer that is 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 speci-
fications. 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
correct 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.
