Important Safety Information

Read all safety information before operating the equipment. Save these instructions.Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and the injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of the equipment.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT: Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A after the cord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.

NOTE: More than 100 feet of extension cord is not recommended. Use more hose, not more extension cord. Shorter extension cords will assure maximum electrical power for proper operation.

Service

Should your spray system need service during the warranty period, return your unit and the proof of purchase to the distributor where it was purchased. At our option, the unit will be repaired or replaced. In a continued commitment to improve quality, we reserve the right to make component or design changes when necessary.

Introduction

• This High Volume/Low Pressure (HVLP) spray system is designed for applying coatings to surfaces that can be sprayed faster than brushing or rolling and are too small for traditional airless sprayers. Components of this system include a power switch, a power cord, a filter warning light, a circuit breaker switch, a dual filtration system, a cup holder, an air hose, and an air outlet.
• The power switch comes with two speed settings. Low speed is generally used for light-bodied materials. High speed is ideal for thicker materials.
• The turbine is also equipped with a tool box. It is located on the reverse side of the turbine and can be used to store projector sets or any other small spare parts.

NOTE: Some of the graphics in this manual may not exactly match your turbine and spray gun. All information and instructions given in this manual applies to all models except where noted.

With this HVLP spray system, you can achieve the highest quality professional finish possible with little or no preparation or setup time. Please review all the information contained in this manual before operating the system.

Using an HVLP Spray System

Refer to the following information to operate and understand your HVLP spray system.
Your system may include a short air (“whip”) hose. The short hose should be connected to the longer hose or a remote spraying system (sold separately) and NOT directly to the turbine. See your spray gun instruction manual for complete instructions.

IMPORTANT : Do not attach the short air whip hose directly to the turbine, as the hose will become damaged.

Setup

Use the following procedure to set up your HVLP spray system for operation.

1. Plug the turbine power cord into a grounded, 3-slot receptacle.
   Keep the turbine at the maximum possible distance from the spray area to safeguard against explosion or fire that may be caused by sparking electrical parts.

2. Prepare your spray gun for operation. Refer to your spray gun manual for material preparation, setup, and spraying information.

3. Attach the air hose to the air outlet on the turbine.

4. Attach the air hose to the air inlet on your spray gun.

5. Turn on the turbine and begin spraying.

Dual Filtration System

The turbine has two different air filters— one for atomizing air and one for cooling air. The atomizing air filter is a two-stage, fine mesh filter designed to trap particles that may damage your finish. The atomizing air is discharged through the nozzle of the spray gun where it atomizes the coating material. The cooling air filter is a coarse mesh filter designed to allow the proper amount of air flow through the turbine for cooling purposes. Cooling air is exhausted through the cooling air discharge on the front of the turbine.

Filter Warning System

The filter warning system on your turbine consists of a red filter warning light on the front control panel and an air flow switch inside the turbine. When the air flow switch does not detect the appropriate amount of air flowing through the turbine, the filter warning light will come on to indicate that it is time to clean or change the filters.

NOTE : The filter warning system does not shut down the turbine.

IMPORTANT : Clean filters regularly. Clogged filters can cause excessive heat and possibly damage the turbine.

Maintenance

Use the following procedures to keep your HVLP spray system running properly.

Cleaning / Replacing the Filters

IMPORTANT : Make sure the turbine is unplugged before changing the filters.

1. Remove the filter covers on each side of the turbine by turning them counterclockwise.
2. Remove each filter set (pre-filter and filter) from the filter housing on each side of the turbine
3. Clean the filters. Either tap the filters to knock out the contaminants or use pressurized air to blow out the contaminants. For material that is not blown or knocked loose easily, soak the filters in soapy water or mineral spirits. Allow the filters to dry completely before placing them back in the turbine
4. Insert each filter back into its corresponding filter can.
5. NOTE : Make sure the white pleated filter is fitted securely to the spokes of the filter can. Turn clockwise to secure in place.
6. Replace the filter covers on each side of the turbine by turning them clockwise. After several cleanings, it may become necessary to replace the filters. Refer to the parts list near the end of this manual for the filter replacement kit part number

NOTE: Do not use highly flammable solvents, such as lacquer thinner, to clean the filters.
IMPORTANT : Do not soak paper pleated filter in solvents. Only tap the filter or use compressed air directed at the inside (the clean side).

Cleaning the Air Hoses

1. Periodically wipe the outer surface of the air hose with a damp cloth to keep clean.

IMPORTANT : DO NOT submerge into or flush the air hose with water or any chemical.
IMPORTANT : DO NOT use methylethylketon (MEK), naphtha, mineral spirits, paint thinner, xylol/xylene, or toluel/toluene to clean the air hose. Exposure over time could cause damage to the hose.
IMPORTANT : Store indoors with the cord wrapped around the handle.
