Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Insert Liner: Place the polyethylene liner inside the aluminum pressure cup. Ensure it fits snugly and is free of wrinkles.
- Fill with Material: Pour the desired water or solvent-based paint into the polyethylene liner. Do not overfill; leave adequate space for air pressure.
- Secure Lid: Place the clamp-type lid onto the cup, aligning it properly. Secure the lid by tightening the four black knobs evenly until the lid is firmly sealed.
- Connect Air Supply: Connect your air supply hose to the air inlet fitting on the regulator. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
- Connect Spray Gun (Optional): If using with a spray gun, connect the fluid hose from the pressure cup's fluid outlet to your spray gun's fluid inlet. Connect the air hose from the pressure cup's air outlet (if applicable) to your spray gun's air inlet.
Operating Instructions
- Adjust Pressure: Slowly open the air supply valve. Use the integrated regulator knob to adjust the pressure to the desired PSI for your application. Monitor the pressure gauge to ensure it is within the recommended operating range for your paint and spray gun.
- Test Spray: Before applying to your workpiece, perform a test spray on a scrap surface to verify proper pressure and spray pattern.
- Application: Proceed with your painting task, maintaining consistent pressure and technique.
- Depressurize: When finished or when refilling, always close the air supply valve and depressurize the cup by opening the air relief valve on the regulator until the pressure gauge reads zero.
- Refill/Clean: Once depressurized, loosen the clamp knobs and carefully remove the lid.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Binks Pressure Cup.
- Cleaning After Use:
- After depressurizing and removing the lid, carefully remove the polyethylene liner with any remaining paint. Dispose of paint and liner according to local regulations.
- Clean the inside of the aluminum cup body with an appropriate solvent or water, depending on the paint type used.
- Wipe down the lid, regulator, and fittings to remove any paint residue. Ensure no paint dries in the air passages or around the regulator.
- Do not submerge the regulator or pressure gauge in cleaning solutions. Wipe them clean.
- Seal Inspection: Periodically inspect the lid gasket and all O-rings for signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain a proper seal.
- Storage: Store the pressure cup in a clean, dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
