3.3 Spraying
Follow the below procedure to commence spraying:
Once lit, if fitted adjust the spreader, in the direction shown below to give the desired
direction of the spread.
NOTE: There is a position of the spreader where the air to the spreader jet is cut off. If the
spreader is not required, rotate the spreader until it shuts off.
WARNING: The Spreader should always be turned in an anti-clockwise direction
(from operator point of view). Rotating in a clockwise direction (from an operator
point of view) could loosen air cover, potentially resulting in damage being caused.
Point the pistol at the prepared
work and maintain a spraying
range of approximately 6”
(150mm). Increasing spray
distance will dramatically reduce
efficiency.
In even sweeping movements
to cover the area required and
repeat until the desired
thickness is achieved.
Keep the pistol as close to 90°
to the spray surface as possible,
and no more than 45° from
perpendicular. See left
illustration for an example of
this.
NOTE: By changing spray angle you will affect the coating quality and spray efficiency.
NOTE: Whilst spraying air may be expelled from the Cam Spindle Housing. This is normal and
aids the cleaning of the valve area.
