Setup
Prepare the Fluid
1.
Always strain the fluid before spraying; this
includes color, reducer and hardeners
if
used.
2.
When using a turbine spray system, you need
to
use a slower drying reducer or thinner to compen-
sate for the faster drying time caused by the
warm air of the turbine.
Do
not over reduce.
Paint Reduction
-
Automotive Type Finishes
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer’s spec-
turbine systems, use a reducer one-step slower than
ifications. To compensate for the faster drying time
of

ifications.
If
no reductions are given, first thoroughly
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer’s spec-
mix the fluid
to
be sprayed. Then gradually mix in the
proper reducer, testing the fluid until you have the cor-
rect 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.

Spray Gun Cup
WARNING
The spray gun cup is pressurized by the gun’s air
supply. To reduce the risk of serious injury from
pressurized fluid or accidental spray from the gun,
always turn
off
the air supply to the gun before
removing the spray gun cup.
Only fill the cup

that secures the cup hood into
place when locked in place on the cup.
Accessory Remote Pressure Pot
WARNING
The accessory remote pressure pots remain pres-
surized until pressure is manually relieved. TO

ing or removing the cover.

Relieve the remote pressure pot pressure by fol-
lowing these steps:
a. Turn
off
the air supply to the pressure pot.

Pot:
Turn out the pressure

If the 2
quart remote pressure pot
is
accidentally
may leak into the air regulator. Take precautions to
avoid this. If fluid does get into the regulator, clean
it immediately.
Do
not tighten the pressure pot cover more than
hand-tight. Excessive tightening may damage the
