GTI-620S COMPLIANT HIGH VOLUME LOW PRESSURE

SUCTION FEED SPRAY GUN

IMPORTANT: Before using this equipment, read all safety precautions and instructions.

Keep for future use.

DESCRIPTION

These compliant high volume low pressure suction feed GTI ® guns are designed to apply a wide variety of finishing materials.

The guns were manufactured to provide maximum transfer efficiency by limiting air cap pressure to 10 psi (complies with rules issued by SCAQMD and other air quality authorities).

These guns will produce approximately 10 psi cap pressure at 30 psi gun inlet pressure. Air cap test kits are available (see

ACCESSORIES) which can be utilized to set the exact air cap pressure. Air consumption for the GTI 600S (#100 cap) is 16 SCFM at

10 psi air cap pressure. Air consumption for the GTI-620S (#2000 cap) is 15.5 SCFM at 10 psi air cap pressure. provide a maximum of 10 psi at the air cap. Do not use more pressure than is necessary to atomize the ma-

terial being applied. Excess pressure will create additional overspray and reduce transfer efficiency.

Note

If quick connects are required, use only high flow quick connects approved for HVLP use such as DeVilbiss HC-4419 and HC-4719. Other types will not flow enough air for proper gun operation.

Note

Note

These guns include 300 series stainless steel fluid tips and needles. Guns may be used with chlorinated solvent materials. See page 2 for additional warnings.

Important: These guns may be used with most common coating and finishing materials. They are designed for use with mildly corrosive and non-abrasive materials. If used with other high corrosive or abrasive materials, it must be expected that frequent and thorough cleaning will be required and the necessity for replacement of parts will be increased.

INSTALLATION

For maximum transfer efficiency, do not use more pressure than is necessary to atomize the material being applied.

1. Connect the gun to a clean, moisture and oil free air supply using a hose size of at least 5/16" I.D. hose. Do not use 1/4" I.D. hose (25' x 1/4" hose at 18

CFM has a pressure loss of 25 psi. 25' x 5/16" hose at 18 CFM has a pressure loss of 8 psi).

Note

Depending on hose length, larger

I.D. hose may be required. Install an

HAV-501 air gauge at the gun handle and air cap test kit over tip. When gun is triggered on, adjust regulated pressure to desired setting to

2.

If an air adjusting valve is used at the gun inlet, use DeVilbiss Model HAV-

500 or HAV-501 or HAV-511. Some competitive adjusting valves have significant pressure drop that can adversely affect spray performance.

Models HAV-500 and HAV-501 have minimal pressure drop, which is important for HVLP spraying.

Attach the suction feed cup to the material inlet.

Note

Protective coating and rust inhibitors have been used to keep the gun in good condition prior to shipment. Before using the gun, flush it with solvents so that these materials will be removed from fluid passages.

OPERATION

Mix, prepare and strain the material to be sprayed according to the paint maufacturer's instructions.

Strain material through a 60 or 90 mesh screen.

1. Fill the suction feed cup with the material. Do not overfill. Make sure that the cup lid vent hole is clear.

2. Open the spreader adjustment valve

(10) (Fan) by turning the valve stem counterclockwise.

3. Open fluid adjusting screw (17) by turning counterclockwise.

4. Turn on air supply and set gun inlet pressure to lowest recommended pressure for material being sprayed.

Spray a test area. Air pressure and paint flow should be adjusted to provide a uniform dispersion of atomized paint throughout the pattern. Keep air pressure as low as possible to minimize bounce-back and overspray.

Excessive fluid flow will result in heavy center spray patterns. Inadequate flows may cause the patterrn to split. See

TROUBLESHOOTING, Page 5, if any problems occur. If finer atomization is required, increase gun inlet pressure.

If a reduced fluid flow rate is required, turn fluid adjusting screw (17) clockwise until desired fluid flow is obtained.

See Spray Gun Guide, SB-2-001 latest revision, for details concerning setup of spray guns.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

To clean air cap and fluid tip, brush exterior with a stiff bristle brush. If necessary to clean cap holes, use a broom straw or toothpick if possible. If a wire or hard instrument is used, extreme care must be used to prevent scratching or burring of the holes which will cauase a distorted spray pattern.

To clean fluid passages, remove excess material from cup, then flush with a suitable solvent. Wipe gun exterior with a solvent dampened cloth. Never completely immerse in solvent as this is detrimental to the lubricants and packings.

Note

When replacing the fluid tip or fluid needle, replace both at the same time. Using worn parts can cause fluid leakage. See Chart 2.

Also, replace the needle packing at this time. Lightly lubricate the threads of the fluid tip before reassembling. Torque to 15-20 ft. lbs.

Do not overtighten the fluid tip.

To prevent damage to fluid tip (5) or fluid needle (11), be sure to either

1) pull the trigger and hold while tightening or loosening the fluid tip, or 2) remove fluid needle adjusting screw (17) to relieve spring pressure against needle collar.

Important safety information - A hazard that may cause serious injury or loss of life.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to USER SAFETY and

PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the following symbols. Please pay particular attention to these sections.

NOTE

Important information that tells how to prevent damage to equipment, or how to avoid a situation that may cause minor injury.

Information that you should pay special attention to.

The following hazards may occur during the normal use of this equipment.

Please read the following chart before using this equipment.

HAZARD CAUSE

Fire Solvent and coatings can be highly flammable or combustible especially when sprayed.

PROP 65 WARNING

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

SAFEGUARDS

Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep air free of accumulations of flammable vapors.

Solvent Spray During use and while cleaning and flushing, solvents can be forcefully expelled from fluid and air passages. Some solvents can cause eye injury.

CA PROP 65

Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.

Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray area.

Wear eye protection.

Inhaling Toxic Substances

Explosion Hazard -

Incompatible Materials

General Safety

Certain materials may be harmful if inhaled, or if there is contact with the skin.

Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents - for example; methylene chloride and 1,1,1,

- Trichloroethane are not chemically compatible with the aluminum that might be used in many system components. The chemical reaction caused by these solvents reacting with aluminum can become violent and lead to an equipment explosion.

Improper operation or maintenance of equipment.

Cumulative Trauma

Disorders ("CTD's")

CTD's, or musculoskeletal disorders, involve damage to the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, and back.

Carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis (such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff syndrome) are examples of

CTD's.

Use of hand tools may cause cumulative trauma disorders ("CTD's").

CTD's, when using hand tools, tend to affect the upper extremities. Factors which may increase the risk of developing a CTD include:

1. High frequency of the activity.

2. Excessive force, such as gripping, pinching, or pressing with the hands and fingers.

3. Extreme or awkward finger, wrist, or arm positions.

4. Excessive duration of the activity.

5. Tool vibration.

6. Repeated pressure on a body part.

7. Working in cold temperatures.

CTD's can also be caused by such activities as sewing, golf, tennis, and bowling, to name a few.

Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data Sheet supplied by your coating material manufacturer.

Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free of accumulations of toxic materials.

Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be compatible with the material being sprayed and its concentration. Equipment must be as prescribed by an industrial hygienist or safety expert, and be NIOSH approved.

Guns with stainless steel internal passageways may be used with these solvents. However, aluminum is widely used in other spray application equipment - such as material pumps, regulators, valves, and cups. Check all equipment items before use and make sure they can also be used safely with these solvents. Read the label or data sheet for the material you intend to spray. If in doubt as to whether or not a coating or cleaning material is compatible, contact your material supplier.

Operators should be given adequate training in the safe use and maintenance of the equipment (in accordance with the requirements of NFPA-33, Chapter 15). Users must comply with all local and national codes of practice and insurance company requirements governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation, maintenance, and housekeeping. These are OSHA Sections

1910.94 and 1910.107 and NFPA-33.

Pain, tingling, or numbness in the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hands, or fingers, especially during the night, may be early symptoms of a CTD. Do not ignore them. Should you experience any such symptoms, see a physician immediately. Other early symptoms may include vague discomfort in the hand, loss of manual dexterity, and nonspecific pain in the arm. Ignoring early symptoms and continued repetitive use of the arm, wrist, and hand can lead to serious disability. Risk is reduced by avoiding or lessening factors 1-7.

SPRAY GUN LUBRICATION

Daily, apply a drop of SSL-10* spray gun lube at trigger bearing stud (28) and the stem of air valve (20) where it enters air valve assembly. The shank of fluid needle (11) where it enters packing nut (9) should also be oiled. Fluid needle packing (8) should be lubricated periodically. Make sure baffle (6) and retaining ring (3) threads are clean and free of foreign matter. Before assembling retaining ring to baffle, clean the threads thoroughly, then add two drops of SSL-10 spray gun lube to threads. Fluid needle spring (14) and air valve spring (19) should be coated with a very light grease, making sure that any excess grease will not clog the air passages. For best results, lubricate the points indicated, daily.

* Not for air tools or high RPM equipment.
