D2
• If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid thinning material
r
ecommended by the manufacturer (figure D2).
• It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit, however, the required thinning
may exceed material manufacturerʼs recommendation. Thin latex paint so that it
runs through viscosity cup in under 2 minutes. The operator should consider the
type of application and final location of the project when spraying a material that
requires more than 2 minutes to run through the viscosity cup,
PREPARATION TIPS
• Always stir and strain the material throughly before use.
• With any spraying job you should always ensure that you have properly prepared the surface to get the best finish.
That is, all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease. Lightly pressure wash decks or exterior surfaces and
ensure that they are dry before spraying.
• Even though HVLP sprayers have very little overspray, it is recommended that you mask all edges and other areas
and use drop cloths to protect your floors and anything else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched.
• Skin that forms on the top of paint can clog the sprayer. Remove skin before mixing. Strain with a funnel with a filter
attached or through hosiery to remove any impurities that could clog system.
• Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc. available for unexpected spills.
FILLING THE CANISTER - (FIGURE E)
• Check to make sure that the canister is completely screwed onto the sprayer.
• Lay the sprayer on its side with the canister side lid facing up.
• Unscrew the lid on the side of the canister.
• Pour the properly thinned and strained material to be sprayed into the side fill
canister (figure E). TIP: Use the mixing bucket provided to pour material
from the original material container into the side fill canister.
• Clean any residual liquid from the threads or sides of the canister and sprayer.
• Starting the threads evenly, screw the lid completely onto the side fill canister.
Check the lid to make sure it is threaded on squarely and completely before
picking up the sprayer.
