Video: Detailed guide on how to set up and start your InoKraft D1 LVLP Air Spray Gun, including assembly and initial adjustments.
- Install the Filter: Insert the filter into the gun's inlet.
- Attach the Paint Cup: Screw the paint cup clockwise onto the spray gun. If using a disposable cup system, ensure the adapter is correctly installed.
- Connect Air Pressure Regulator and Oil-Water Separator: These are optional but recommended for optimal performance. Connect them to the air inlet connector. Use PTFE tape for a tight seal to prevent air leakage.
- Connect an Air Hose: Use a 1/4-inch air hose to connect to the oil-water separator or directly to the inlet connector.
- Adjust Air Pressure: Turn the air pressure regulator knob clockwise to close the air inlet. Hold the gun trigger, then turn the air pressure regulator knob counter-clockwise to raise the air pressure up to 3.0 bar (approximately 43.5 PSI). The maximum recommended pressure is 3.5 bar (50 PSI).
- Adjust Fluid Adjustment Knob: Turn the fluid adjustment knob clockwise to the minimum to prevent the needle from moving.
- Adjust Pattern Adjustment Knob: Turn the pattern adjustment knob counter-clockwise to fully open the fan.
- Adjust Air Adjustment Knob: Turn the air adjustment knob counter-clockwise to fully open it.

- Maintain Distance: Keep the spray gun 6 to 8 inches from the object surface.
- Perpendicular Movement: Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface during movement to ensure even coating.
- Trigger Activation: Lightly press the trigger to start the stroke, then press hard for full spray. This technique helps achieve a smooth gun activation and saves paint.
- Spray Speed: The recommended speed for moving the spray gun is about 12 to 15 inches per second.
- Overlapping: When spraying large areas, use a reciprocating method. The overlap area of the spray width should be about 50%.
- Adjusting Spray Pattern: Rotate the air cap at 90 degrees to change the spray pattern between vertical and horizontal.
