Specifications

Refer to the table below for detailed technical specifications of the Dynastus Siphon Spray Gun.

Setup

1. Air Compressor Requirements

The spray gun requires an air compressor capable of delivering a minimum of 5.0 SCFM at 40 PSI, or 7 to 12 CFM / 3HP. Ensure your compressor meets these specifications for optimal performance.

2. Connecting the Air Inlet

Connect the 1/4" NPT female quick connector to your air supply hose. Ensure a secure, airtight connection to prevent air leaks.

3. Preparing and Filtering Paint

Before spraying, it is crucial to properly prepare your paint. For latex paints, it is highly recommended to dilute and strain the paint using the provided 100-mesh filter funnel to prevent clogging and ensure a smooth, even spray.

Dilution ratios may vary depending on the paint type and desired consistency. Always follow the paint manufacturer's recommendations for thinning. A common practice for latex paint is to add Floetrol and water, aiming for a consistency similar to thin pancake batter.

Operating Instructions

1. Adjusting the Spray Gun

The Dynastus Siphon Spray Gun features adjustable controls for fluid, pattern, and airflow:

• Fluid Setting: Controls the amount of paint released. Turn clockwise for less paint, counter-clockwise for more.
• Pattern Setting: Adjusts the spray pattern from a round spot to a wide fan.
• Airflow Cap: Allows 360° rotation to adjust the spray shape, providing precise control over the application.

Start with a test surface to fine-tune these settings for your specific paint and desired finish.

2. Spraying Technique

Maintain a consistent spraying distance between 200mm to 250mm (approximately 8 to 10 inches) from the surface for the best effect. Move the gun at a steady pace, overlapping each pass by about 50% to ensure even coverage.

For vertical surfaces, apply light layers to prevent runs. The gun can be held at various angles without spilling paint, thanks to its anti-drip design.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for the longevity and performance of your spray gun. Clean the gun immediately after each use.

Cleaning Procedure:

1. Empty any remaining paint from the cup.
2. Pour appropriate cleaning solution (water for latex, solvent for oil-based paints) into the cup.
3. Spray the cleaning solution through the gun until it runs clear.
4. Disassemble the nozzle, air cap, and fluid needle. Use the provided metal brush and toothbrush to thoroughly clean all components.
5. Clean the paint cup with the toothbrush and handle.
6. Rinse all parts with clean water or solvent.
7. Dry all components completely before reassembly.
8. Lubricate moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer (if applicable).

The included additional wrench facilitates easy disassembly and reassembly for thorough cleaning.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your spray gun.

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Uneven Spray Pattern or Spitting:
  • Check paint viscosity; it may be too thick. Dilute as needed.
  • Ensure the air cap and nozzle are clean and free of dried paint.
  • Verify adequate air pressure from the compressor.
  • Check for blockages in the fluid tip or air passages.
• No Paint Flow:
  • Confirm the fluid needle is properly adjusted and not stuck.
  • Check if the paint cup is empty or if the siphon tube is clogged.
  • Ensure the air vent in the cup lid is clear.
• Excessive Overspray or Runs:
  • Adjust fluid control to reduce paint output.
  • Increase spraying distance or speed.
  • Ensure paint is not too thin.
• Air Leaks:
  • Check all connections for tightness, especially the air inlet.
