PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE 1 2 3 ti28562a OPERATION Adjusting the System Sufficient fluid output (volume and pressure) and good atomization is a balance of atomizing air, material thickness/material flow and nozzle selection. Achieving the correct balance for your application requires experimentation to achieve desired results. Keep in mind these important points when adjusting gun: • To select correct nozzle for your applications, consider size of aggregate in material and coarseness of spray pattern.

Texture Spraying 1. Wet inside of hose before each use to flush out sediment and prevent texture material from packing out hose. a. Pour one gallon (3.8 liters) of water into the material hopper. b. Open gun air control valve. Turn ON/OFF switch to ON position. Aim gun into hopper and trigger gun to circulate water for a few minutes to wet inside of material hose. c.

MIXING MATERIAL Correct material mixture is essential for a successful project. Drywall Compound • Mix the material with water in a separate container before pouring it into hopper. • Dry Mix: Carefully mix material and water according to manufacturer instructions. • Premix: Follow manufacturers recommendations for mixing. • Use Material Thickness Gauge to determine if mixture is thin enough to spray. Be sure gauge is completely dry and clean every time it is used.
