INTRODUCTION

The Earlex HV7000 “Spray Port” is an industrially rated, portable, paint spraying system and is intended for

use by professionals. HVLP stands for High Volume, Low Pressure. This is a type of spraying that allows you

to spray extremely accurately but without all the overspray that occurs with high pressure tank equipment. In

some parts of the world the high pressure systems are banned by law on environmental grounds and HVLP

type systems are the only alternative for professional type spraying. This system is extremely easy to use, very

safe and reduces the amount of paint used.

The Earlex Spray Port (model no. HV7000UK110PD, HV7000UK110H, HV7000UK230PD & HV7000UK230H)

is a portable system that is made up as a trolley unit that can be broken down into two separate parts, the main

Turbine Unit and the Carrier Stand. These two parts connect together via two quick release clips allowing the

complete system to be wheeled from a vehicle to the workplace or around the workshop. They are easily

separated so they can be stored in the back of a van or truck. The Carrier Stand holds the Air Hose and spray

applicator and also has space for a cleaning kit. The Earlex Spray Port (model no.HV7000UK110NF &

HV7000UK230NF) is supplied with the main turbine unit, hose and gun. Your Spray Port can be supplied with

a plastic spray applicator Type P or, an aluminium spray applicator Type A. Both types will give identical

excellent results.

PLEASE NOTE: We have done all we can to ensure that used correctly and according to these instructions,

this spray applicator will give long and trouble free life. We accept no responsibility for damage caused by the

use of incorrect or unsuitable substances, paints or fluids which have not been thinned correctly or are

unsuitable for the surfaces to which they are applied, health hazards arising from lack of ventilation when

working in confined spaces or failure of the equipment due to inadequate cleaning of the components after use.

If in doubt, always test a small inconspicuous area first. Always read the paint manufacturer’s instructions first.

Neither our guarantee nor the above statement affects your statutory rights.

IMPORTANT BASIC INFORMATION

SELECTING PAINT

This is a highly versatile spray kit that can be used with several different spray mediums including varnishes,

wood preservatives, enamels, oil and water based paints and cellulose. However some materials cannot be

sprayed so please check the recommendation of the manufacturer before buying the paint. If a material refers

to brush application only then it usually cannot be sprayed.

THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR TEXTURED PAINTS. THESE MATERIALS CONTAIN PARTICLES

OF GRIT THAT WILL CAUSE PREMATURE AND EXCESSIVE WEAR. USE OF SUCH MATERIALS WILL

INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE. TO OBTAIN THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR SPRAY KIT PLEASE

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Preparation of the surface and thinning of the paint are the two most important areas to be concerned with to

obtain the best results from your spray kit. Ensure all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease. If

necessary smooth with sandpaper, or similar. Masking of areas is important to ensure you do not spray those

areas you wish to remain untouched.

THINNING

Your spray kit is supplied with a viscosity cup. Viscosity is a technical term used to indicate if a product is very

thin or very thick. If thin, the viscosity is said to be low, while if very thick the viscosity is said to be high.

Viscosity is measured in seconds. In order to spray some materials they need to be “thinned” (diluted).

Thinning is very important when spraying. Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and may need

to be thinned (diluted) for spraying purposes.

Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning in conjunction with a spray applicator. If in doubt please contact

the manufacturers of the paint. The viscosity cup supplied will help you determine the correct thickness of the

paint. Paint is “thinned” by adding the substance which the paint is based upon. If a water based paint then

water is added, if oil based then white spirit, if automotive coating then an automotive coating thinner is added.

As some paints, wood preservatives and other sprayable materials contain particles that have differing

qualities, please ensure that when filling the paint container of the spray applicator, that the paint is filtered

through either a funnel with a filter on it or through nylon tights or stockings. This will ensure that no large

particles enter the paint container, so preventing blockages and providing you with trouble free spraying.

Ensure that a face mask, gloves and goggles are worn at all times when spraying.
