FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The DeVilbiss Pro Lite™ E Conventional hand gun is primarily designed for the application of Ceramic
and Enamel coatings in a high production environment. If used with such materials it must be
expected that the need for cleaning and or replacement of parts will be increased. Its particular
materials of construction make it suitable for materials supplied from pumped or pressure fed fluid
supply systems.
Available with a range of stainless steel, nitride hardened and tungsten carbide fluid tips and needles,
the gun features stainless steel fluid passageways and a QuickClean™ coated body, to give enhanced
corrosion protection in these arduous conditions.
Based on the Pro Lite™ drop forged aluminium gun body, the gun utilises an ‘in-line’ concentric air
valve which allows weight reduction and reduced fatigue to the operator.
The gun is designed as a flexible solution for the modern coating applicator.

Important installation, operation or maintenance
severe personal injury, death or substantial
minor personal injury, product or property
information.
property damage.
damage.
WARNING
Read the following warnings before using this equipment.
SOLVENTS AND COATING MATERIALS. Can be highly flammable or
combustible when sprayed. Always refer to the coating material supplier's
instructions and safety sheets before using this equipment.
INSPECT THE EQUIPMENT DAILY. Inspect the equipment for
worn or broken parts on a daily basis. Do not operate the
equipment if you are uncertain about its condition.
READ THE MANUAL. Before operating finishing equipment, read and
understand all safety, operation and maintenance information provided in the
operation manual. Users must comply with all local and national codes of
practice and insurance company requirements governing ventilation, fire
precautions, operation and house-keeping of working areas.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD. Equipment misuse can cause
the equipment to rupture, malfunction or start unexpectedly and
result in serious injury.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD. Never use 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, Methylene
Chloride, other Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such
solvents in equipment with aluminium wetted parts. Such use could result in a
serious chemical reaction, with the posibility of explosion. Consult your fluid
suppliers to ensure that the fluids being used are compatible with aluminium
parts.
STATIC CHARGE. Fluid may develop a static charge that must be dissipated
through proper grounding of the equipment, objects to be sprayed and all other
electrically conductive objects in the dispensing area. Improper grounding or
sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in fire, explosion or elecrtic
shock and other serious injury.
GLOVES. Must be worn when spraying or cleaning the
equipment.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Failure to wear safety glasses with
side shields could result in serious eye injury or blindness.
WEAR RESPIRATOR. The use of respiratory protective
equipment is recommended at all times. The type of equipment
must be compatible with the material being sprayed.
TOXIC VAPOURS. When sprayed, certain materials may be poisonous, create
irritation, or are otherwise harmful to health. Always read all labels, safety
sheets and follow any recommendations for the material before spraying. If in
doubt contact your material supplier.
NEVER MODIFY THE EQUIPMENT. Do not modify the
equipment unless the manufacturer provides written approval.
LOCK OUT / TAG-OUT. Failure to de-energise, disconnect, lock out and tagout all power sources before performing equipment maintenance could cause
serious injury or death.
PROJECTILE HAZARD. You may be injured by venting liquids or
gases that are released under pressure, or flying debris.
NOISE LEVELS. The A-weighted sound level of pumping and spray equipment
may exceed 85 dB(A) depending on equipment settings. Actual noise levels are
available on request. It is recommended that ear protection is worn at all times
while equipment is in use.
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE. Always follow the pressure
relief procedure in the equipment instruction manual.
KNOW WHERE AND HOW TO SHUT OFF THE EQUIPMENT IN
CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
HIGH PRESSURE CONSIDERATION. High pressure can cause serious injury.
Relieve all pressure before servicing. Spray from the gun, hose leaks or
ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely
serious injury.
OPERATOR TRAINING. All personnel must be trained before
operating finishing equipment.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EMPLOYER TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO THE OPERATOR OF THE EQUIPMENT.

SPRAY GUN REPAIR KIT (INCLUDES ITEMS MARKED *)
SEAL AND PIN KIT, KIT OF 5 (ITEMS 12, 14 & 15)
+ NOT INCLUDED IN THE GUN KIT, ONLY WITH REF 23
WARNING
The spray gun must be earthed to dissipate any electrostatic charges which may be created by fluid or
air flows. This can be achieved through the spray gun mounting, or conductive air/fluid hoses.
Electrical bond from the spray gun to earth should be checked and a resistance of less than 10⁶ Ohms
is required.
EN
START-UP SEQUENCE
1. Connect the gun to a clean, moisture and oil free air supply using a conductive hose of at least
8mm I.D.
2. Connect the fluid supply hose to fluid inlet connector.
3. Mix coating material to Manufacturer's instructions and strain material.
4. Turn fluid adjusting knob (28) clockwise to prevent fluid needle movement.
5. Turn spreader valve adjusting knob (16) counter clockwise to fully open.
6. Adjust inlet air pressure if required.
7. Turn fluid adjusting knob counter clockwise until first thread shows.
8. Test spray. If the finish is too dry, reduce airflow by reducing air inlet pressure.
9. If finish is too wet, reduce fluid flow by turning fluid adjusting knob (28) clockwise. If atomisation is
too coarse, increase air inlet pressure. If too fine, reduce inlet pressure.
10. The pattern size can be reduced by turning spreader valve knob (16) clockwise.
11. Hold gun perpendicular to surface being sprayed. Arcing or tilting may result in uneven coating.
12. The recommended spray distance is 150-200mm.
13. Spray edges first. Overlap each stroke a minimum of 75%. Move gun at a constant speed.
14. Always turn off air supply and relieve pressure when gun is not in use.
NOTE
Depending on hose length, larger I.D. hose may be required. Install an air gauge at the gun handle.
When gun is triggered on, adjust regulated pressure as required. Do not use more pressure than is
necesarry to atomise the material being applied. Excess pressure will create additional overspray and
reduce transfer efficiency.

DISASSEMBLY TIP & NEEDLE
NOTE
When replacing the fluid tip or fluid needle, replace tip, needle and fluid packing at the same time.
Using worn parts can cause fluid leakage. Do not overtighten.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to fluid tip or fluid needle, be sure to either:
1. Pull the trigger and hold while tightening or loosening the fluid tip, or,
2. Remove the fluid adjusting knob to relieve spring pressure against needle collar.
