Your Apollo ECO Spray Gun is certified. This means your spray gun uses no more than 10 PSI. All passages and air
ports are much larger than a conventional spray gun. If one of these air passages becomes blocked, or build up of
material starts to occur, your spray pattern will become distorted, therefore, always keep your spray gun clean. The E5011
spray gun comes fitted with a 1.0mm tip/nozzle (#6) and needle (#15) (inscribed with a number 2). The E7000 comes
fitted with a 1.3mm nozzle (#2) and needle (#20). These sizes will effectively spray most wood coatings. Using these
sizes of tip/nozzle and needle you can achieve a 1/4" line up to a 10" fan pattern, simply by rotating the air cap (#2, E5011
or #1-2, E7000) to the desired fan type, opening the material flow screw (#18, E5011 or #22, E7000) counter-clockwise
and moving the spray gun closer or further away from your work piece. A little practice will enable you to master this
technique in no time flat!
PRACTICE:
VERY IMPORTANT
!! Remove the cup from your spray gun by moving the lever on the top of the cup lid over to one
side. Fill it approximately half way with some water. Reattach the cup to the body of the spray gun and lock down the
lever to create a good seal. Attach the spray gun to the air hose and the other end of the air hose to the turbine. Turn the
turbine unit on. The E5011 is a bleeder spray gun, which means you will notice air is now flowing through the air cap, this
is normal and correct. The E7000 spray gun is a non-bleeder spray gun, which means you will not have any air flowing
through the spray gun until you pull the trigger. The first stage of your pull will release the air, then the second stage will
release the fluid. Position the air cap (#2, E5011 or #1-2, E7000) in the horizontal or vertical position, turn the material
flow screw (#18, E5011 or #22, E7000) clockwise until closed. Make a mark on the material flow screw at 12:00 (Noon),
and then adjust the material flow screw to 8:00; this will give you a good starting point. Point the spray gun away from
yourself (and anyone else) and pull the trigger all the way back. You should see a "V" shaped mist (or triangle) called a
fan pattern. Now, with the trigger depressed, if you turn the material flow screw, clockwise (closing) making very small
adjustment's at a time, you will notice that the fan pattern is beginning to get smaller. Now, reverse this and notice the
pattern will get larger. Take a large piece of cardboard and direct the pattern at the surface, hold the spray gun
approximately 6"-8" from the surface. Pull the trigger, observe the outline and size of the pattern. Now, turn the material
flow screw clockwise (closing). Move the spray gun an inch or two closer to the surface. Pull the trigger. Notice the pattern
has become smaller. You can continue reducing the material flow and move the spray gun even closer to the surface and
the pattern will continue to get smaller and smaller. Next, with your E5011 spray gun rotate the air cap to a diagonal
position or with your E7000 turn the Air Adjusting Knob to the horizontal position. Play with varying the material flow and
the distance of the spray gun from the work surface. Notice the change in pattern size.
Caution
: Even when the turbine unit is off, pressure will remain in the spray cup. If you pull the trigger back, a
stream of fluid will flow. To prevent accidents, turn material flow screw (#18, E5011 or #22, E7000) clockwise until
it is completely closed. The trigger is now locked in the closed position. You can also simply aim the gun at a
towel and pull the trigger to release any pressure in the cup.
Note: It is not necessary to empty and clean your spray gun when you pause between applications. Be sure,
however, to clean your spray gun thoroughly at the end of your work session. It is a bad idea to leave materials in
your spray gun overnight.
