The AG361 and AG361E low pressure air atomising spray guns are designed to be cost effective guns
with maximum control and serviceability.
The AG361 is intended for most types of general industrial coating and fine finishing operations,
suitable for both waterbased and solventbased applications.
The AG361E is designed for the application of specialised waterbased ceramic and enamel coatings
for sanitaryware and vitreous markets.
Guns are available with a range of Conventional, Trans-Tech (High Efficiency) and HVLP atomisation
air caps, to give a choice of atomisation and Transfer Efficiency parameters. They are designed as a
flexible solution for the modern coating applicator with multiple accessories available, to futher
optimise the process.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EMPLOYER TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO THE OPERATOR OF THE EQUIPMENT.
TOXIC VAPOURS. When sprayed, certain materials may be poisonous, create
irritation, or are otherwise harmful to health. Always read all labels, safety
sheets and follow any recommendations for the material before spraying. If in
doubt contact your material supplier.
NEVER MODIFY THE EQUIPMENT. Do not modify the
equipment unless the manufacturer provides written approval.
LOCK OUT / TAG-OUT. Failure to de-energise, disconnect, lock out and tag-
out all power sources before performing equipment maintenance could cause
serious injury or death.
PROJECTILE HAZARD. You may be injured by venting liquids or
gases that are released under pressure, or flying debris.
NOISE LEVELS. The A-weighted sound level of pumping and spray equipment
may exceed 85 dB(A) depending on equipment settings. Actual noise levels
are available on request. It is recommended that ear protection is worn at all
times while equipment is in use.
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE. Always follow the pressure
relief procedure in the equipment instruction manual.
KNOW WHERE AND HOW TO SHUT OFF THE EQUIPMENT
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
HIGH PRESSURE CONSIDERATION. High pressure can cause serious
injury. Relieve all pressure before servicing. Spray from the gun, hose leaks or
ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely
serious injury.
OPERATOR TRAINING. All personnel must be trained before
operating finishing equipment.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD. Never use 1,1,1-Trichloroethane,
Methylene Chloride, other Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents or fluids
containing such solvents in equipment with aluminium wetted parts. Such use
could result in a serious chemical reaction, with the posibility of explosion.
Consult your fluid suppliers to ensure that the fluids being used are compatible
with aluminium parts.
GLOVES. Must be worn when spraying or cleaning the
equipment.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Failure to wear safety glasses with
side shields could result in serious eye injury or blindness.
STATIC CHARGE. Fluid may develop a static charge that must be dissipated
through proper grounding of the equipment, objects to be sprayed and all other
electrically conductive objects in the dispensing area. Improper grounding or
sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in fire, explosion or electric
shock and other serious injury.
WEAR RESPIRATOR. The use of respiratory protective
equipment is recommended at all times. The type of equipment
must be compatible with the material being sprayed.
WARNING
Read the following warnings before using this equipment.
SOLVENTS AND COATING MATERIALS. Can be highly flammable or
combustible when sprayed. Always refer to the coating supplier's instructions
and safety sheets before using this equipment.
INSPECT THE EQUIPMENT DAILY. Inspect the equipment for
worn or broken parts on a daily basis. Do not operate the
equipment if you are uncertain about its condition.
READ THE MANUAL. Before operating finishing equipment, read and
understand all safety, operation and maintenance information provided in the
operation manual. Users must comply with all local and national codes of
practice and insurance company requirements governing ventilation, fire
precautions, operation and house-keeping of working areas.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD. Equipment misuse can cause
the equipment to rupture, malfunction or start unexpectedly and
result in serious injury.
In this part sheet, the words WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE are used to emphasise important safety information as
follows:
WARNING CAUTION NOTE
Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in
minor personal injury, product or property
damage.
Important installation, operation or maintenance
information.

WARNING
The spray gun must be earthed to dissipate any electrostatic charges which may be created by fluid
or air flows. This can be achieved through the spray gun mounting, or conductive air/fluid hoses.
Electrical bond from the spray gun to earth should be checked and a resistance of less than 10⁶ Ohms
is required.

TYPICAL SETTING
1. The ATOM air valve controls the length of the fan pattern, the FAN valve controls the shape of
the pattern. To increase the air pressure, turn air control valves anti-clockwise and to reduce the
pressure turn clockwise.
2. The ATOM air valve controls the length of the fan pattern, the FAN valve controls the shape of
the pattern. To increase the air pressure, turn air control valves anti-clockwise and to reduce the
pressure turn clockwise.
TYPICAL START-UP SEQUENCE
1. Turn the needle adjustment knob anti-clockwise until the needle is fully open.
2. Turn the FAN and ATOM air valves anti-clockwise to be fully open.
3. Trigger the gun and adjust the fluid supply pressure, to obtain the recommended fluid flow
shown in the air cap performance guide table.
4. Trigger the gun and set the gun inlet air pressure regulator, to achieve the recommended start
pressures, shown in the air cap performance guide table.
5. Test spray - if the finish is too dry or fine, reduce the air flow by reducing the air inlet pressure
or by screwing the ATOM valve in clockwise. Alternatively increase the fluid flow using the fluid
supply pressure.
6. Test spray - if the finish is too wet, reduce the fluid supply pressure to reduce the fluid flow.
Alternativeily increase the air inlet pressure to increase atomising pressure.
7. Use the needle adjustment knob for final fine tuning of the fluid flow.
8. The pattern size can be reduced by turning adjusting valve clockwise. A reduction in the spray
fan may require a reduction in fluid flow.
9. The spray pattern will be optimised when the spray gun is perpendicular to the target.
10. The recommended spray distance is 150-200mm.[6-8]
11. Always turn off air and fluid supply, relieve pressure and clean down when gun is not in use.

Determine if the obstruction is on the air cap or the fluid tip. Do this by making a test spray pattern. Then, rotate
the cap one-half turn and spray another pattern. If the defect is inverted, obstruction is on the air cap. Clean the
air cap as previously instructed. Also check for dried paint just inside the cap centre hole opening, remove by
washing with solvent.
If the defect is not inverted, it is on the fluid tip. Clean tip. If problem persists, renew tip.
