1. Description

The SPRAYIT SP-33000 LVLP Gravity Feed Spray Gun can be used for variety of different applications such as Automotive, Industrial, Marine and Wood Working. The LVLP features require less air allowing you to use a smaller air compressor. Using the SPRAYIT SP-33000 reduces overspray and allows you to spray larger surfaces without having to stop. The Low Volume Low

Pressure feature allow for more control with less overspray and waste. The Stainless Steel Fluid

Needle and Nozzle are corrosion resistant. The separate and adjustable fluid fan pattern and air controls make for more precise fan patterns and less waste. Air consumption 3.0 to 3.9 CFM @ 30

PSI. Working pressure 28-45 PSI. Maximum pressure 60 PSI. The SPRAYIT brand has been manufacturing quality tools since 1928.

3. Important Safety Instructions

1. Toxic vapors produced by spraying certain materials can create intoxication and serious damage to your health. Always wear safety glasses, gloves and respirator to prevent toxic vapor hazard and solvent coming into contact with your noise, eyes or skin. (See fig 1)

2. Never use oxygen, combustible or any other bottle gas as a power source. This would cause explosion and serious personal injury. (See fig 2)

3. Fluid and solvent can be highly flammable or combustible.

Use in well-ventilated spray booth and avoid any ignition sources, such as smoking, open flames and decrial hazard. (See fig 3)

4. Disconnect tool from air supply hose before doing tool maintenance and during non-operation.

5. Use clean, dry and regulate compressed air rated at 2.0~3.5bar, never exceed maximum permissive operating pressure (see fig 4)

6. Never use homogenate hydrocarbon solvent, which can chemically react with aluminum and zinc parts and chemically compatible with aluminum and zinc pats.

7. Never point gun at you and others at any time.

8. Before operating the tool, make sure all the screws & caps are securely tightened

9. Before painting, inspect for free movement of the trigger and nozzle to insure tool can operate well.

10. Never modify this tool for any applications. Only use parts, nozzles and accessories recommended and accessories recommended by manufacture. This will void warranty.

11. This equipment should only be used in a well ventilated area.

4. Instructions For Operation

Preparation

1. After unpacking the product, inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit.

Make sure to tighten fittings, bolts, etc., before putting unit into service.

2. Thoroughly mix and thin paint in accordance with the paint manufacturer ’s instructions. Most materials will spray readily if thinned properly.

3. Strain material through filter, cheese cloth or a paint strainer.

4. Fill the canister about ¾ full and start the air compressor.

WARNING

DO NOT EXCEED Spray Gun or any other parts in the compressor system MAXIMUM PRESSURE.

5. After Connect the gun to air supply, please make sure that the fluid cap, container and air hose have been connected tightly with spray gun.

6. Set up a piece of cardboard or other scrap material to use as a target and adjust for best spray pattern.

WARNING

Never aim or spray at yourself or anybody else which would cause serious injury.

7. Test the consistency of the material by making a few strokes on a cardboard target. If material still appears too thick, add a small amount of thinner. THIN WITH CARE! Do not exceed paint manufacturer ’s thinning recommendations.

Adjustment

The desired pattern, volume of fluid output and fine atomization can easily be obtained by regulating the Pattern Adjusting Knob, Fluid Adjusting Knob and Air Adjusting Knob.

PATTERN ADJUSTMENT: Turning Pattern Adjusting Knob to the right until tight will make spray pattern round, or turning left make spray pattern ellipse.

Material (PAINT) ADJUSTMENT: Turn the Paint Adjusting Knob clockwise will decrease the volume of fluid output and counter-clockwise will increase fluid output.

AIR Inlet ADJUSTMENT: Turning the Air Adjusting valve clockwise will decrease the air volume. And counter-clockwise will increase the air volume.

Operation

1. Begin spraying. Always keep the gun at right angles to the work.

2. Keep the nozzle about 6 to 12 inches from the work surface. Grip the gun keeping perpendicular with spraying area then move it parallel for several times, stopping gun movement in mid-stroke will cause a build up of paint and result in runs. Do not fan the gun from side to side while painting. This will cause a build-up of paint in the center of the stroke and an insufficient coating at each end.

3. Trigger the gun properly. Start the gun moving at the beginning of the stroke BEFORE SQUEEZING

THE TRIGGER and release the trigger BEFORE STOPPING GUN MOVEMENT at the end of the stroke. This procedure will blend each stroke with the next without showing overlap or unevenness.

4. The amount of paint being applied can be varied by the speed of the stroke, distance from the surface and adjustment of the fluid control knob.

5. Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an even coat.

NOTE: Two thin coats of paint will yield better results and have less chance of runs than one heavy layer.

6. Use a piece of cardboard as a shield to catch overspray at the edges of the work to protect other surfaces.

5. Maintenance

Incomplete cleaning could cause function failures and a degradation of the fan form.

1. Remove any remaining paint by pouring it into another container.

2. Disassemble the spray gun making sure to remove the needle before disassembling the nozzle to avoid damage to the housing of the nozzle closure.

3. Clean all the paint passages and the nozzle. Clean the other components using a brush soaked in solvent.

4. Reassemble the spray gun and spray a small quantity of solvent to eliminate all the residues in the paint passages.

WARNING:

NEVER USE METAL OR OTHER OBJECTS THAT COULD DAMAGE THE HOLES IN THE NOZZLE AND CAP. NEVER

IMMERSE THE SPRAY GUN COMPLETELY IN SOLVENT. NEVER USE COMPONENTS OR PARTS THAT ARE NOT

MANUFACTURER ORIGINALS.

Storing

 When not using spray gun, turn the fluid adjustment knob counter-clockwise to open which will reduce spring tension on needle fluid tip.

 Spray gun MUST BE well cleaned and lightly lubricated.
