Start Up - Elcometer Sagola 3300 GTO Manuel D'utilisation

30/31
09. Start-up
Before each start-up and especially after cleaning or repairing the unit, a check must be made
that all its elements are securely tightened.
If maintenance or repair work is to be carried out, the gun must be depressurised before work
begins (without air pressure). Should this safety measure not be observed, this may lead to
malfunctions, personal injury and accidents, which may prove to be fatal. SAGOLA S.A.U. does
not accept any responsibility for the consequences of any non-compliance with these safety re-
gulations.
Open the spray width and product regula-
tors completely (without removing these
from their housing) by turning these anti-
clockwise (Fig.1 and 2).
Gravity/suction version: Place the pistol
on a support so that the axis of the tank
is vertical. Pour the product to apply into
the tank. Until the level is a maximum of
Fig.01 Fig.02
20-25 mm below the edge of the tank.
Tighten the filler cap firmly. In the version with the non-drip cap, tip it forward (paint up) or back
(paint down) as necessary.
Connect the gun to the compressed air network.
Pressure version: When assembling the
equipment, make sure to connect the air
hose to air conduits (1) and the product

hose to the product conduits (2). Regulate
product pressure to the gun by applying
2
product pressure until this fails from 15
to 20 cm. from the gun, depending upon
1
the product to be applied (Fig.3).
Adjust the air pressure in hte network
regulator in order to compensate for any
pressure drop in the network (estimated
at 0.6 bar for each 10 m. of hose).
Adjust the air pressure in the air nozzle
by operating the flow regulator until the
required quality of finish is obtained (be-
tter finishes are not obtained with higher
spraying pressures and these lead to
lower performance and worse product
transfer).
Position the air nozzle spraying orifices
appropriately (when an imaginary line is
drawn through the 2 lugs, this must bepa-
rallel or perpendicular to the floor) (Fig.4).
Fully close the product regulator by tur-
ning it clockwise; and perform the desired
application test, adjusting the product re-
gulators and range as follows:
18 - 20 cm.
