5.2 Starting / Stopping Requirements
The following requirements must be met before taking this spray gun into operati-
on:
• control air must be available at the gun.
• atomizing air must be available at the gun.
• material pressure must be available at the gun.
Caution
The material pressure shall not exceed • 10 bar, as, otherwise, the functional reliab-
ty of the spray gun will suffer.
Adjust the control air pressure to • at least 4,5 bar, in order to operate the spray gun.
The operation of the spray gun can be started/stopped by way of the 3/2-way control
valve (see the Operating Instructions of the plant systems manufacturer).
Warning
It is important to remember that the spray gun must be relieved of all pressures
whenever work is terminated. Lines left in pressurized condition could burst, with
their contents likely to injure anybody present nearby.

Spray pattern tests should be performed whenever:
• the spray gun is taken into operation for the first time.
• the spraying medium is changed.
• the spray gun was taken apart for servicing or repairs.
The spray pattern can be tested using a work piece sample, a sheet of metal, card-
board or paper.

Warning
Make sure that nobody is present in the spraying zone when the gun is started -
imminent Risk of Injury.
