INSTALLATION

HOSING :

Use separate filtered regulated air supplies for atomizing and cylinder

air.

Connect all the air and fluid hoses at the back of the plate (1/8” BSP):

(See figure)

- Cylinder air ‘C = Cyl’ via a control valve. For fast cylinder operation

the control valve should be fitted as close to the gun as possible or an

additional quick exhaust valve installed in the line.

- Separated atomizing and fan “F” &“A” air supply.

- Material hose ‘P’.

- Material hose ‘R’ for re-circulation model (CBA2U).

Recommended hose size up to 10m (34ft) long :

Atomization Air=8mm, Cylinder Air=6mm, Material=9,5mm

Important : To ensure that this equipment reaches you in first class

condition, protective coatings have been used. Flush the equipment

through with appropriate solvent before use.

Fix the spray gun base plate using mounting stem ref.30 and secure it with

nut ref.29..

SETTING

Check that the gun has all of the O-rings fitted on the sealing surface and check that the

locking device (28) is in the correct position to lock the spray gun on to the connecting plate.

1. The ATOM air valve controls the atomizing air pressure.

2. The FAN valve reduces the spray pattern size.

3. Fluid flow is adjusted with the rear ratchet knob (25).

For the arrangement of the parts, refer the exploded view at the end of the manual.

START UP

1. Turn the needle adjusting knob (25) clockwise until the needle is fully closed.

2. Turn the FAN and ATOM air valves (13) counter-clockwise to be full open.

3. Use the air cap chart above to set the air pressure at the air regulator to achieve

recommended pressures.

4. Turn the adjusting knob (25) counter clockwise to obtain the desired fluid flow.

5. Test spray. If the finish is too dry or fine, reduce the airflow by reducing the air inlet pressure

or by screwing the valve ATOM (13) in clockwise, or increase the fluid flow using ratchet knob,

rotating counter clockwise.

Important : The Spray gun must be earthed to dissipate any electrostatic

charges which may be created by fluid or air flows. This can be achieved

through the Spray gun mounting, or conductive air/fluid hoses. Electrical

bond from the spray gun to earth should be checked with an ohmmeter. A

resistance of less than 106Ohms is recommended.

6. If the finish is too wet, turn the ratchet knob (25) in clockwise to reduce the fluid flow, or reduce

the fluid pressure.

If the atomization is too coarse, increase inlet air pressure, or reduce fluid flow.

7. The pattern size can be reduced by turning adjusting valve FAN (13) clockwise.

8. The spray pattern will give the best results when perpendicular to the target.

9. The recommended spray distance is 150-220 mm (6’’ to 8’’).

10. Spray edges first. Overlap each stroke a minimum of 50%. Move gun at a constant speed.

11. Always turn off air and fluid supply and relieve pressure and clean down when gun is not in us.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Turn off air and coating supply and relieve pressure in the supply lines,

or disconnect from airline and fluid line.

1. Unlock the spray gun from the base plate, remove it, and if available re-attach an alternative

gun. Now the spray gun maintenance can be done outside the spray booth while production is

still continuing.

2. Remove air cap (1) and clean. If any of the holes in the cap are blocked with coating material

use a toothpick to clean. Never use metal wire which could damage the cap and produce

distorted spray patterns

3. Ensure the nozzle of the fluid tip (2) is clean and free from damage. Any build up of dried paint

can distort the spray pattern.

REPLACEMENT OF PARTS

Turn off air and coating supply and relieve pressure in the supply lines, before any

maintenance operation.

Tip (2) & needle (18)

Remove the air cap (1) by unscrewing its retaining ring counter- clockwise, remove the index ring if

it remains on the gun head (if fitted and used).

Remove the tip (2) and its air separator ring (3) by unscrewing counter- clockwise with 10mm

hexagonal spanner.

Unscrew the adjusting needle knob (25) fully in counter-clockwise rotation, push the needle from

the front of the spay gun, carefully so to avoid damage the needle end, then pull out the needle

(18) from the back.

If necessary, replace the needle and the tip, first refitting the tip with its air separator ring

(recommended torque between 9,5 to 12 Nm).

Lubricate all the surface of the needle which will be in contact with the packing and o ring. Slide

the needle into the spray gun from the back.

Fit the needle spring with its plastic pad (22,23,24) and replace the needle adjusting knob (25).

Packing seal (9)

Unscrew the air cap (1), tip (2) and its air separator ring (3).

Unscrew the 4 screws (6) to disassemble the gun head (8).

Push back the packing seal (9) using a 5,5mm diameter rod from the front of the gun head. Clean

the packing location hole carefully with adequate solvent.

Fit a new packing seal (9) U face towards the fluid passage.

Fan & Atom air valve (13)

Before assembling, check the air valve is in fully open position by

unscrewing it counter-clockwise.

Piston (15), o ring (16, 14 15c& 15d)

Unscrew the rear housing (19) at the back of the gun body

counter clockwise, pull out the needle (18).

Use bent nose pliers “T” so to pull out the piston which has a

12mm internal groove for this purpose.

Piston Pand two valve “V” will go out at the same time.

The valve “V” can be removed from the piston ring.

We recommend to replace the full piston at the same time (Item

number SPA-60X-K).

It’s recommended to replace all the O-rings (14, 16 15d & 15c)

in the gun body as soon you disassemble the Piston from the

gun.

Lightly lubricate the piston O rings before fitting again into the

gun body.
