SPRAYER CONTROLS
XBOOST™ FLOW CONTROL
The X-Boost™ ow control adjusts the level of air ow produced by the turbine. Pressing
the (+) button will increase the air ow. Pressing the (-) button will decrease the air ow.
The indicator bars will light up and show the air ow the turbine is currently spraying.
Whenever the turbine is turned ON, the air ow will automatically be set to 3 bars
(medium air ow).
• A high air ow level will result in faster coverage and a smoother nish with thicker
materials.
• Lowering the air ow will result in larger drops of material being sprayed from the
gun, and will create a slightly rougher nish.
Tip: The thicker the material you are spraying, the higher the turbine air ow you will need.
Tip: For ne-nish work with thinner materials, you may want to decrease the air ow . Spraying a thinner material at high air ow
will result in more overspray. Overspray is sprayed material that does not stick to the spray surface and bounces back.
MATERIAL FLOW CONTROL
The material ow control determines the amount of spray material that is sprayed
from the spray gun.
iSpray Nozzle - The material ow can be adjusted incrementally from 1 (minimum) to
12 (maximum) by turning the adjustable material ow control
Detail Finish Nozzle - Set the material ow by turning the grey knob on the trigger
of the spray gun.
• For thicker materials, it is recommended that you start with the highest material
ow setting and then gradually decrease the ow to suit your particular spraying needs.
• For thinner materials, it is recommended that you start with a low material ow setting, and then gradually increase the ow
to suit your particular spraying needs.
• The higher the ow setting, the quicker you will have to work in order to avoid drips and sags in your spray pattern.
Tip: Spraying with the control set too high will result in a spray pattern that runs and sags (too much material).
Tip: Spraying with the control set too low will result in a spray pattern that does not cover (not enough material).

Spray performance will depend upon a number of factors: material thickness, air ow, spray pattern selected,
and material ow. Testing dierent variations of the control settings will help you achieve the desired results.
