Soft Start/Smart Start™

•

Smart Start keeps the sprayer at full operating pressure and allows the sprayer to spray

immediately when the gun is triggered.

• Soft Start prevents a large “splotch” of material from being discharged from the gun when trig-

ger is pulled after the sprayer has sat idle for a period of time.

Adjusting the System

Sufficient fluid output (volume and pressure) and good atomization is a balance of atomizing air,

material thickness/material flow and nozzle selection. Achieving the correct balance for your

application requires experimentation to achieve desired results. Keep in mind these important points

when adjusting gun:

• To select correct nozzle for your applications, consider size of aggregate in material and

coarseness of spray pattern. Remember the larger the nozzle, the larger the pattern.

• Start sprayer with gun air control valve completely open. If needed, slowly close gun air con-

trol valve until you get a good spray pattern. Use minimum amount of air at spray gun to

achieve proper spray pattern and to minimize bounce back.

+ Test spray pattern on cardboard. Hold gun 18 to 30 in. (45.7 to 76.2 cm) from surface. Use

this spraying distance for most applications.

+ When spraying with a nozzle only overlap each stroke 50% in a circular motion.

+ When spraying with a nozzle and disc overlap each stroke 50% in a linear motion.

•

Material flow is controlled with the fluid flow regulator knob and displayed on the gauge. Gun air

flow is regulated using air control valve located on the gun handle.

For Less Material Flow

Try one or a combination of these methods:

• Open air control valve.

• Turn gun flow adjustment nut to decrease flow, counter-clockwise.

• Use smaller nozzle.

For More Material Flow

Try any one or a combination of these methods:

• Close air control valve.

• Turn gun flow adjustment nut clockwise to increase flow.

• Use thinner material mixture.

• Use a larger nozzle.

Check Material Consistency Periodically

Check and thin material as needed to maintain proper consistency. The material may thicken as it

sits and slow down production. Agitate periodically.
