237 OPERATION7.1 TRAINING THE OPERATING PERSONNELThe operating personnel must be qualified to operate the entire system.The operating personnel must be familiar with the potential risks associated withimproper behavior as well as the necessary protective devices and measures.Before work commences, the operating personnel must receive appropriate systemtraining.7.2 TASKSEnsure that:the regular safety checks are carried out in accordance with Chapter 8.2.3,commissioning is carried out in accordance with Chapter 6.8.7.2.1 STARTING TO SPRAY WITH THE AIRCOAT1. Start up with product supply set to approx. 8 MPa; 80 bar; 1160 psi operatingpressure.2. Spray (release locking device and pull trigger) and at the same time, observe how theproduct is atomizing.3. Set the spray pressure on the product pump to a point where good productatomization is achieved.4. Open the air pressure regulator for the atomizing air and adjust it so that an optimalatomization is achieved. (The interrelation between spray pattern and atomizing airis shown in the figure below).5. Use the shaping air controller on the spray gun to adjust the shaping air to atomizingair ratio, until the optimal spray pattern is achieved.Note:Repeat points 3, 4 and 5 until the optimum is reached (iterative process).Spray pattern shapesB_00071No atomizingairToo littleatomizing airCorrect amountof atomizing airNote:The flow rate can be changed by:– changing the product pressure or– Using a different flat jet nozzle (see Chapter 7.4 and Chapter 13).VERSION 06/2018 ORDER NUMBER DOC2311730
