BORMANN BAT1300 HVLP Spray Gun Instruction Manual
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO SAFETY WARNINGS AND READ CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS!

Safety Warnings
- Do not use the spray gun near active flames and always keep working area well ventilated when spraying.
- Do not spray on human bodies or animals to avoid damage caused to eyes and skin.
- Use protective devices like respiratory protection equipments and eye-protective devices during any spraying.
- Insulate or release the pressure inside the device before cleaning or maintenance.
- Do not use wire to dredge feeder noses and nozzles,etc. to avoid damage caused to parts and abnormal spraying.
- Do not immerse spray gun and its parts in diluting solvent for a long times.
- Do take out and dry in the air after finishing cleaning.
- Do not overhaul it by force if the paints bond together.
- The spraying distance should be between 10cm and 15cm and the viscosity 14±2 for best effect.

| Air leakage of spacer and seal ring | Damage of spacer and seal ring Paint stained spacer and seal ring | Replace the spacer Take it down and wash it |
| Air control valve on the handle of spray gun can not work | Damage or crack of inner seal ring Paint stained regulating screw | Replace seal ring Take it down and wash it |
| Trembling spraying or stoppage of the gun | Insufficient paint in the bucket Unscrewed nozzle Abrasion of needle valve or seal ring Loose needle sealing plug Loose joint of paint tube | Add the paint Screw the nozzle Replace the gun or seal ring Screw sealing plug Screw joint of paint tube |
| Common troubles and troubleshooting in spraying | ||
| Spray Pattern | Reason | Remedy |
![]() | Air sneaks into junction of feed nozzle and nozzleholder | Clean junctions of nozzle and nozzle Holder, and reinstall them,replace them, replace the parts if junctions are broken. |
| Air sneaks into junction of spacer and gun | Reinstall junctions of parts after cleaning,replace the parts if junctions are broken. | |
| Air sneaks into needle sealing screw | Tighten the needle sealing screw | |
| Air sneaks into juncture of feed channel joint and charging bucket | Reinstall and tighten relevant junctions | |
![]() | Blockage at vent hole of airflow nozzle, causing unbalanced air output | Remove the foreign matters and wash with hair- brush instead of metal cleaners to avoid damage |
![]() | Damage or solid matter sticking to fit clearance of feed nozzle and airflow nozzle | Remove solid matters and replace the broken parts |
| Foreign matter sticking to discharge port of feed nozzle | Reinstall feed nozzle and needle valve assembly after cleaning junctions of them | |
![]() | Low viscosity | Increase viscosity of the paint |
| Excessive paint sprayed | Reduce the paint sprayed with amplitude regula- tor, but it will also reduce the spraying swath | |
![]() | High viscosity | Add diluents to reduce viscosity |
| Excessive paint sprayed | Increase the paint sprayed with amplitude regulator | |
Cleaning and maintenance
After use, empty the paint in the bucket and wash it with diluters which should be added into the bucket and sprayed out to wash the feed channel until it is clean, otherwise the paint remained in the channel will dry and block the channel and damage the spray gun.
Finally, wipe it dry with clean soft cloth.
