General Information
HVLP Turbine Sprayers
Unpacking Turbine
The GTS-2500, GTS-3800, and GTS-4900 HVLP
Turbines, compressor/cart, and spray guns can spray
most coatings or finishes currently being used for
automotive refinish, industrial, aerospace, marine,
wood, plastic, and architectural applications.
Unpack the Turbine Sprayer from the shipping carton,
and inspect for any possible shipping damage. If there
is any damage, call your distributor.
Turbine Configurations
To produce high-quality paint finishes, the spray gun
typically utilizes inbound air pressure of 5 psi (0.3 bar,
34 kPa) for GTS-2500; 6 psi (0.4 bar, 41 kPa) for
GTS-3800; and 8 psi (0.5 bar, 55 kPa) for GTS-4900.
A cone of air, produced by the gun, carries and directs
the paint from the gun to the surface, minimizing
overspray and increasing transfer efficiency. This
enables painters to comply with new clean air laws that
are designed to reduce VOC (volatile organic
compounds) emissions, eases paint application by
requiring fewer paint passes to obtain coverage, and
saves on both material and clean-up time.
GTS turbines come in the following basic
configurations:
D GTS-2500 two-stage turbine sprayer
D GTS-3800 three-stage turbine sprayer
D GTS-4900 four-stage turbine sprayer
See turbine gun manual 308336 or 308810 for more
information on the operation and use of the turbine
spray gun.

explosion that could cause serious injury or death.
This equipment requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz, 15A circuit
with a grounding receptacle. See Fig. 2.
grounded outlets
D Always strain the fluid before you spray; this
includes color, reducer, and hardeners if used.
D When using a turbine spray system, use a
slower-drying reducer or thinner to compensate for
the faster drying time caused by the warm air of the
turbine. Do not over reduce.
CAUTION
The performance of the turbine sprayer varies with
the viscosity of the material and the length of the
hose. Keep the hose short to prevent pressure drop.
Paint Reduction — Automotive Type Finishes
grounding prong
Fig. 2
Extension cord must be 3-wire, 12 AWG, 50 ft (15 m)
or shorter.
Do not alter the ground prong or use an adapter.
Setup/Use Options
HVLP Turbine Sprayers have a variety of user options.
See Fig. 3.
D See compressor/cart manual 824171 for
information on compressor/cart setup and
operation.
D See turbine gun manual 308336 or 308810 for
information on turbine spray gun setup and
operation.
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer’s
specifications. To compensate for the faster drying
time of turbine systems, use a reducer that is one step
slower than what is used for conventional air spray.
Paint Reduction — Industrial or Domestic
Coatings
Reduce and catalyze all paint to manufacturer’s
specifications. If no reductions are given, first
thoroughly mix the fluid to be sprayed. Then gradually
mix in the proper reducer, testing the fluid until you
have the correct spraying consistency.
To test the consistency, remove the stir stick from the
thinned paint. When the paint stream running off the
stir stick breaks into droplets, the first few drops should
be about one second apart.

Operating Turbine
WARNING
HVLP Compressor/Cart Cold Weather
Operation
The HVLP compressor/cart uses a diaphragm
compressor. A new diaphragm may be stiff in cold
weather. If cold enough, the diaphragm is too stiff to
allow the compressor motor to start (the unit hums).
If this occurs, follow these steps:
Sparks can be expected in the normal operation of
the turbine motor. These sparks can ignite fumes
from flammable liquids, dust particles, and other
flammable substances in the spray area. This can
cause serious injury and property damage. Be sure
to follow the precautions below:
1. Turn turbine and compressor OFF.
D When flammable liquid is sprayed or used for
flushing or cleaning equipment, the turbine must
be placed at least 20 feet (6.1 m) away from
areas where hazardous concentrations of
flammable vapors are likely to occur.
4. Hand spin cooling fan on compressor for a few
revolutions.
D Use additional air hose if necessary to ensure
that the turbine is operated in a clean, dry, well
ventilated area.
2. Unplug turbine from power source.
3. Pinch and remove filter by hand. Clean or replace
if dirty.
5. Reinstall filter.
6. Plug in turbine.
7. Turn turbine and compressor ON. If necessary,
repeat procedure.
D Never place the turbine inside a spray booth!
Use this equipment outdoors or in extremely
well ventilated areas.
D Avoid all ignition sources such as: static electricity from plastic drop cloths, open flames like
pilot lights, hot objects like cigarettes, arcs from
connecting or disconnecting power cords, and
turning light switches on and off. Extinguish or
remove all sources of ignition.
1. Turn turbine ON a few minutes before spraying to
allow warm-up.
NOTE: When the turbine is not in use for an extended
period of time, turn it off. The turbine does not shut off
automatically.
2. Be sure turbine filter is clean before operating. See
page 11 to check and clean filter.
