Pressure Relief Procedure Pressure Relief Procedure Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol. 4. If using a FlexLiner System: Disconnect tubing from gun to relieve pressure in the cup. The spray gun cup is pressurized. To reduce the risk of splashing from pressurized fluid, always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure before removing cup. 1. Turn the HVLP sprayer ON/OFF switch to OFF position. 2. Unplug power cord to disconnect power from the HVLP sprayer. 3.
Setup Setup Fluid and Work Piece Preparation • Strain fluids before spraying. This includes colors, reducers and hardeners. • Use a slower drying reducer or thinner to compensate for the faster drying time caused by the warm air of the turbine. Do not over reduce. • Spray performance varies with the viscosity of the material sprayed, HVLP sprayer, and length of hose. • Most material manufacturers provide recommendations for their materials. Follow these recommendations.
Setup Fluid Set Replacement 4. Move trigger slide from SPRAY position (A) to NEEDLE REMOVAL position (B). Removal 1. SPRAY Position Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8. 2. Remove retaining ring and air cap. 3. Trigger the gun and remove fluid nozzle. NEEDLE REMOVAL Position NOTICE Trigger the gun whenever removing or installing the fluid nozzle.

Startup Startup Fill FlexLiner System 1. 2. Disconnect gun from FlexLiner System. Loosen ring from cup. Remove cover and ring from cup. Verify FlexLiner remains in cup upon removal of cover and ring. ti30706a ti30707a 3. Fill FlexLiner with material to “MAX FILL” line. Clean threads and sealing surfaces of FlexLiner System.
Startup 4. Install cover and ring onto cup. Tighten ring securely. 6. Connect air hose to inlet fitting of gun. ti30683a 7. Verify trigger slide is in SPRAY position (A). 8. With HVLP sprayer powered ON, point gun into a waste area. Evacuate air from FlexLiner System by holding gun vertically and pull trigger open until a continuous spray pattern is observed. ti30709a 5. Connect FlexLiner System to gun. ti30945a ti30681a NOTE: Tilt gun back and forth to help in evacuation of air. ti30687a 9.
Startup Fill Siphon Cup b. 1. Unlatch cup cover and remove from siphon cup. 2. Fill siphon cup with material. Tighten nut. ti30628a ti30942a 4. Latch cup cover to siphon cup. ti30941a 3. Verify siphon tube is positioned in ideal location for desired spray orientation. If adjustment is necessary: a. 14 Loosen nut, rotate cup cover to attain desired siphon tube position.
Startup 5. Connect sprayer air hose to air inlet of gun. 6. ti30945a ti30944a 7. 3A4980B Verify trigger slide is in SPRAY position (A). You are now ready to spray. Reference How to Spray, page 16.
How to Spray How to Spray Adjust Flow and Pattern Size Edge II The turbine motor generates sparks. These sparks can ignite flammable fumes. • Keep sprayer in a well ventilated area. • Keep sprayer at least 20 feet (6m) from spray area. Use additional hose if necessary. Fluid/Air Control: Flow and pattern size is determined by adjustment to the Fluid/Air control knob. Set knob to OFF. Increase flow until desired finish is attained.
How to Spray Fluid Control: Set knob to OFF. Increase fluid until desired flow is attained. F Pattern Size Control: Additional control of the pattern size is available by rotation of the air cap retaining ring. Start with the fluid nozzle flush with the center surface of the air cap. Pattern size can be adjusted by rotating the retaining ring in either direction. L U I D ti30981a Spray Techniques ti30980b Air Control: Start with air control at the + position.
How to Spray Triggering Gun Refilling FlexLiner Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release trigger before end of strike. Gun must be moving when trigger is pulled and released. 1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8. 2. Reference Fill FlexLiner System, page 12. Refilling Siphon Cup ti30763a 1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8. 2. Reference Fill Siphon Cup, page 14. NOTE: To prevent uneven spray pattern, start and end stroke off of work piece surface.
Cleanup Cleanup 3. Loosen ring (1) from cup (5). Remove ring (1) and cover (2) from cup. Verify FlexLiner (4) remains in cup upon removal of cover and ring. When cleaning gun with solvents, read all fire and explosion hazard warnings on page 4. 1 Cleaning the gun after every job is important. Proper care and maintenance results in optimal spray performance. 2a 2 Cleaning FlexLiner System 3 NOTICE 4 Strong solvents, such as lacquer thinner, can damage parts of the FlexLiner System.
Cleanup 5. It is recommended to dispose of the used FlexLiner (4) and install a new one. If reusing, clean by wiping all excess fluid from FlexLiner (4). 7. Fill the FlexLiner (4) approximately half-full with cleaning fluid (warm water or appropriate solvent). 8. Remove and clean material strainer (3) by flushing with cleaning fluid. Re-install material strainer (3). ti30777a 9. Install cover (2) and ring (1) onto cup (5).
Cleanup 10. Cover cup fitting (2a) with a rag, shake the entire FlexLiner System for a minimum of ten seconds. Cleaning Siphon Cup 1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8. 2. Disconnect gun from siphon cup. 3. Unlatch and remove cup cover from siphon cup. Return excess fluid to original container. 4. Wipe excess fluid from cup, cover and siphon tube. 5. Fill cup quarter-full with cleaning fluid (warm water or appropriate solvent). ti30779a 11.
Cleanup Cleaning Quick Clean Check Valve (Siphon Cup only) 1. Cleaning HVLP Edge II Gun NOTICE Disconnect check valve from gun tubing Strong solvents, such as lacquer thinner, can damage parts of the HVLP Edge II gun. Do NOT immerse parts of the HVLP Edge II gun in solvent. . 1. Remove retaining ring and air cap. 2. Trigger the gun and remove fluid nozzle from gun. NOTICE ti30991a 2. Unscrew check valve. Trigger the gun whenever removing or installing the fluid nozzle.
Cleanup 3. Move trigger slide from SPRAY position (A) to NEEDLE REMOVAL position (B). SPRAY Position 5. NOTICE NEEDLE REMOVAL Position Do not use metal tools to clean the fluid nozzle or air cap holes as this may scratch them, causing fluid leaks and a distorted spray pattern. 6. A Wipe or flush fluid from nozzle and needle. If necessary, clean retaining ring, air cap, air cap guide, and spring. B Using a squeeze bottle, flush cleaning fluid through the gun.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Problem Orange peel finish - Paint surface not smooth Cause Paint droplets too large Solution • Adjust fluid control knob on gun to reduce fluid. • Spray further from work piece. • Keep turbine air filters clean to allow full air flow. • Do not use an air hose that is too long to provide sufficient atomization pressure. Blushing - clear coatings appear milky Paint droplets drying too fast to properly flow out of gun Keep object being sprayed out of direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting Problem Solvent pops or bubbles Cause Sprayed surface drying before solvent gas can be released Solution • Apply fluid in lighter coats to allow for proper evaporation. • Use the recommended thinners. • Follow the solutions for Orange Peel Finish, Paint Droplets Too Large in this Troubleshooting Table. No or slow fluid flow, intermittent spray, or fluttering spray No material Check cup for material, see Startup, page 12. Trigger pin in UNLOCK position Check trigger pin location.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution Fluid leaks at packing nut Packing nut is loose Tighten packing nut slightly and re-test. Repeat until packing seals completely. Needle does not return after trigger is released or is slow to return Packing nut is too tight Loosen packing nut slowly until needle returns freely.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution FlexLiner System: FlexLiner does not collapse or collapses slowly Dirty sealing surfaces Remove ring, clean sealing surfaces, securely install ring. See Fill FlexLiner System, page 12. Incorrect or no air cap installed on gun Verify Edge II air cap is installed. Air cap is loose Edge II: Verify retaining ring is fully installed. Edge II Plus: Verify retaining ring is installed to a position that does not result in a loose air cap.
