Nozzle Set Replacement
Step 1: Disassembly
Turn the Fluid Adjustment Knob (D) counterclockwise to remove Fluid Needle and Needle Spring.
[Illustration showing Fluid Adjustment Knob being turned counterclockwise]Remove the Air Cap Set (A).
[Illustration showing Air Cap Set removal]Unscrew the Fluid Nozzle with Adjustment Wrench.
[Illustration showing Fluid Nozzle unscrewing]Step 2: Assembly
Reverse for assembly and remember to tighten the Fluid Nozzle to prevent fluid leak.
[Illustration showing assembly steps in reverse]NOTE: Replace the whole set of Air Cap, Nozzle, Fluid Needle at the same time.
Assembly
Step 1
Turn the Air Pressure Regulator Knob clockwise to make sure the air inlet is closed.
[Illustration showing Air Pressure Regulator Knob turned clockwise]Step 2
Mix coating material by Manufacturer's instructions and pour into the Paint Cup (B).
[Illustration showing paint being poured into the Paint Cup]Screw the Paint Cup (B) clockwise.
[Illustration showing Paint Cup being screwed on]NOTE: If you are using other paint cups, please choose a compatible adapter. The paint cup inlet thread size is M16X1.5. (An adapter for 3M PPS Series 2.0 is included.)
Step 3
Turn the Fluid Adjustment Knob (D) clockwise to the minimum to prevent the needle from moving.
[Illustration showing Fluid Adjustment Knob turned clockwise to minimum]Step 4
Turn the Pattern Adjustment Knob (C) counterclockwise to fully open the fan.
[Illustration showing Pattern Adjustment Knob turned counterclockwise]Turn the Air Adjustment Knob (F) counterclockwise to fully open it.
[Illustration showing Air Adjustment Knob turned counterclockwise]Start Up
Step 1
Connect the Air Pressure Regulator to the Inlet Connector (G) and then Oil-Water Separator. Use a 1/4" air hose to connect with the Oil-Water Separator or connect directly to the Inlet Connector (G).
[Illustration showing air hose connection with regulator and separator]Step 2
Turn the Air Regulator Knob counterclockwise to raise the air pressure up to 3.0 bar.
WARNING: MAX 3.5bar, 50psi.

Turn the Fluid Adjustment Knob (D) to gauge #2.
[Illustration showing Fluid Adjustment Knob position]Step 4
Change the spray pattern at vertical or horizontal by rotating the Air Cap at 90°.
[Illustration showing Air Cap rotation for pattern change]Step 5
Adjust knobs to get the right coating result and pattern.
- a. If the finish is too dry, turn the Air Adjustment Knob (F) clockwise to reduce the inlet air pressure.
- b. If the finish is too wet, turn the Fluid Adjustment Knob (D) clockwise to reduce the fluid flow.
- c. If the atomized particles are too coarse, turn the Air Adjustment Knob (F) counterclockwise to increase the inlet air pressure.
- d. If the atomized particles are too fine, turn the Air Adjustment Knob (F) clockwise to reduce the inlet air pressure.
- e. If the spray pattern is too large, turn the Pattern Adjustment Knob (C) clockwise to reduce the size.
NOTE: Refer to the User Manual for more information.
Step 6
Record relevant data on the test card for next use (optional).

Step 1
Maintain a distance of 6-8 inch between the spray gun and the object surface. Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface during movement. Bending or tilting the spray gun will cause uneven spraying.
[Diagram showing correct spray gun distance and angle]Step 2
Slightly press the trigger to start stroke, then press hard, to get a smooth gun activation and save paint. (Practice makes perfect!)
[Illustration showing trigger pull sequence]Step 3
To stop spraying, slightly release the trigger to end stroke, then release the trigger completely.
[Illustration showing trigger release sequence]Step 4
The speed of moving the spray gun is recommended to be about 12-15 inch per second.
[Illustration indicating spray gun movement speed]Step 5
When spraying large areas, it is recommended to use a reciprocating method. The overlap area of the spray width is about 50%.
[Diagram showing overlapping spray passes]Step 6
After using the spray gun, be sure to turn off the air source. Then hold the trigger to release the air pressure.
[Illustration showing air source shut-off and pressure release]Test Spray
Test the static and dynamic spraying effect on the test paper.

Step 1
Recycle the remaining paint into the paint container.
[Illustration showing paint being returned to container]Step 2
Pour in neutral cleaning solution (pH 6 to 8), shake lightly and spray it out. Repeat multiple times until the mist coming out is clean.
NOTE: Do not immerse the spray gun completely in any solvent or cleaning solution, as this will damage the spray gun lubricant and shorten its lifespan.
[Illustration showing cleaning solution being sprayed through the gun]Step 3
Disconnect the air hose, disassemble the Paint Cup (B), Air Cap Set (A) and Fluid Adjustment Knob (D). Use cleaning kit and accessories to completely clean the gun.
- a. Clean the air cap, nozzle and fluid needle by brushing the outer surface.
- b. Clean the air cap hole with a toothpick. (if necessary)
- c. Clean the Paint Cup and Gun Body by wiping the surface with a damp cloth.
NOTE: If using metal wire or hard tools, be careful not to scratch the air cap hole to become fuzzy, resulting in deformation of the spray pattern.

After cleaning, reconnect to the air hose, turn up inlet air pressure and hold the Gun Trigger (E) to dry the inside of the spray gun.
[Illustration showing drying process]Please refer to the User Manual for detailed instructions on how to use and maintain the LVLP spray gun.
