Introduction

CONGRATULATIONS!! You have just purchased the finest HVLP Mist Applicator available. You are about to enjoy the

great benefits of HVLP spray tanning. Our designs are the result of many years experience in manufacturing HVLP spray

systems, and Mist Applicators.

Whether you are new to spray tanning, you have sprayed tans before, or are just new to HVLP spray tanning, there are

some basic spraying guide lines that will help you to achieve the best results and optimum success from your new

equipment. Reading this information carefully and following these simple steps will ensure that you get the best

performance and results from your new TrueHVLP™ spray tanning system.

HOW SUN-MIST® HVLP SPRAY TANNING SYSTEM WORKS

Your spray tanning system has three components: the motor unit, the air hose and the Mist Applicator. The motor unit

when connected to the correct electrical power supply and with the on/off switch in the "on" position, provides a

continuous source of clean, warm, dry, High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) air. The air hose connects the motor unit to

the Mist Applicator. Air flows through the hose to the nozzle of the specially designed Mist Applicator. Atomization of the

tanning solution is achieved when the air mixes with the stream of fluid passing through the tip/nozzle. This low pressure

atomization principle achieves minimal overspray (wasted spray) to the environment.

The Sun-Mist motor unit has one air hose outlet on the side of the case and is designed to run one Mist Applicator.

Your Mist Applicator offers you many options. You can adjust (click) the air cap (#2) to three positions. One will produce a

horizontal pattern for spraying across, another will produce a vertical pattern for spraying up and down, and the third will

produce a round pattern for detailing muscles or other intricate parts of the body.

FAMILIARIZING YOURSELF WITH YOUR MIST APPLICATOR

Familiarize yourself with the controls on the Mist Applicator. There are three principal controls. The rotating air

cap (#2), the material flow screw (#18) and the air cap locking ring (#1). Click the rotating air cap into each

position. Horizontal, Vertical and 45°. When the air cap is in the 45° position the pattern is round. This is useful

for spraying detail areas such as muscle toning. (Flow will increase when using the diagonal position and it is

usually necessary to reduce the flow by adjusting the flow screw (#18). (See Diagram Spray Patterns, Pg. 3).

Next, turn the material flow screw (#18) anti- or counter-clockwise to open or release more fluid, clockwise to

close or reduce material flow.

PREPARING TO SPRAY

You should now be ready to spray your client. Good quality results with your Sun-Mist spray tanning system

are a combination of careful preparation of your client, a proper spraying environment, a basic knowledge of

the solution you will be using and how these solutions work with your Sun-Mist spray tanning system.

You Sun-Mist motor unit is equipped with our new variable speed control. When you turn the motor on it will

start at high speed. To lower the speed of the motor and make the unit quieter, simply rotate the knob

clockwise to the desired speed. If you slow the motor too much you will notice that your Mist will not be as fine.

Be careful to always have your motor speed fast enough to atomize the solution you are spraying evenly. We
