9.3. Adjusting Air Pressure

The gun leaves the factory with the internal flow regulator
fully open. In order to adjust this to the required pressure,
turn the regulator clockwise to reduce the inlet pressure and
anticlockwise to increase this.

9.4. Amount of Product to be applied

Once the product to be applied has been adequately diluted,
turn the Product Regulator clockwise to reduce the amount
of product and anticlockwise to increase this.
During application, the amount of product applicable in
areas that are small or difficult to access can be reduced by
reducing the pressure applied with one's finger.

9.5. Application distance

Adjust the distance between the air nozzle and the object to
cover to between 10 and 20 cm., depending on the applica-
tion, in accordance with this, the product to be applied and
working conditions, in order to increase transfer and obtain
a reduction in the amount of mist in accordance with the air
nozzle used in each case.

10. Maintenance

In order to carry out maintenance, repairs or cleaning, first disconnect the unit from the compres-
sed air distribution network.
Do not apply excessive force or inadequate tools for maintaining and cleaning the unit. Some
repairs must be done with special tools on some occasions.
In these cases, you must contact the Customer Service of SAGOLA. Any handling of this product
by non-authorised personnel would render the warranty null and void.
The unit must be overhauled on a periodic basis to check the status of its components and repla-
ce these when they are not in perfect condition.
IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULTS, ALWAYS USE
ORIGINAL SPARES. ENSURE TOTAL INTERCHANGEABILITY, SAFETY AND
OPERATION.
10.1. Changing the self-adjusting Packing gland
The needle gaskets that form part of the packing gland are gun components that should be repla-
ced when malfunctions occur or when there is a loss of air tightness.
• Gun head packing gland: In order to replace the packing gland, remove the product regulator
(No.7) (see Fig.7), and extract the product needle and spring fitted with its stop (see Fig.8). With a
13 mm. fixed wrench, remove the packing gland (No.2) to be replaced. Replace the packing gland
and reassemble in the reverse order (see Fig.9).
