3. Setup

Proper setup is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Follow these general steps for initial assembly and preparation:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging and verify against the included components list.
2. Attach Air Pressure Regulator: Connect the air pressure regulator to the air inlet of the spray gun. Ensure a secure, airtight connection.
3. Install Nozzle and Air Cap: Select the appropriate nozzle (1.3B for basecoat, 1.3C for clearcoat) and install it along with the needle and air cap. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
4. Attach Paint Cup: Secure the paint cup (with PPS adapter if used) to the top of the spray gun.
5. Connect Air Hose: Attach your air hose to the air pressure regulator. Ensure your air compressor meets the recommended specifications (e.g., 7.7 CFM at 29 psi).
6. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, flush the spray gun with a compatible cleaning solvent to remove any manufacturing residues.

Refer to the detailed Quick Start-up Guide included in your kit for visual assembly instructions.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Paint Preparation

• Mix Paint: Prepare your paint according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring proper thinning and mixing.
• Filter Paint: Always filter your paint through a mesh filter before pouring it into the paint cup to prevent clogs.

4.2 Air Pressure Adjustment

The recommended working pressure for the Drizzle Pro LVLP Spray Gun is 29-43 psi. Adjust the air pressure regulator to achieve the desired pressure for your specific coating material. The air consumption is approximately 7.7 CFM at 29 psi.

4.3 Spray Pattern and Fluid Control

The Drizzle Pro features three adjustable knobs for precise control:

• Pattern Adjustment Knob: Controls the fan pattern width.
• Fluid Adjustment Knob: Controls the volume of fluid being sprayed.
• Air Adjustment Knob: Controls the air flow.

These controls allow for adjustments with 0.1° accuracy, enabling a wide, even fan pattern up to 300mm (10.2 inches) at a 20cm (8 inch) distance.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your spray gun, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Poor Spray Pattern: Check for clogged air cap holes or nozzle. Ensure the air cap is properly aligned and tightened. Verify paint viscosity is correct.
• Pulsating Spray: This can indicate insufficient paint in the cup, a loose fluid nozzle, or an air leak. Check all connections.
• Leaking: Inspect the needle packing and fluid nozzle for damage or improper seating. Ensure all components are tightened correctly.
• No Paint Flow: Check if the fluid needle is stuck, the paint is too thick, or the fluid passage is clogged. Ensure the fluid adjustment knob is open.
• Inconsistent Air Pressure: Verify your air compressor is providing consistent pressure and that the air pressure regulator is functioning correctly.

For persistent issues, consult the detailed troubleshooting section in the included user manual or contact customer support.
