Earlex 6900 Operating Instructions Manual - Introduction
The concept
A motor feeds out a high volume of air (HV) and enables products to be sprayed at a low pressure
(LP). The product is released from the Fluid Tip of the Spray Gun at a very low pressure (0.18 bar)
and is enclosed in a high volume of air. The Air Hose feeds the air produced by the motor to the
Spray Gun.
The powerful motor can spray a wide range of paint with or without dilution. However, there will
always be some paint which will not be suitable for the Spray Gun. The good quality paint
contains a high percentage of dry particles which make the dilution easier. The users must keep in
mind that low temperatures make the paint thicker, that’s why we recommend spraying with the
Spray Gun with a 15°C minimum temperature.

PARTS LIST
• Carefully cover areas which are not to be painted with a plastic cover and protective tape.
• Wear a suitable mask when spraying products (and make sure there is adequate ventilation in
the room when working indoors).
• Clean the surface you are going to paint. As well as being clean, it must also be dry and
smooth.
• Practice first on some old wooden planks to make sure you are holding the Spray Gun correctly.
• We recommend you wear protective clothing
• Stir the paint well using a mixer where possible.
• Make sure there are no solid particles in the paint.
• Many products can be sprayed without being thinned. However, if the application is not good,
thin the product progressively in stages of 5%.
• Most paints can be sprayed by being thinned just a little, e.g. by 5% or 10%.
• Some thick paints such as outer wall paints and certain undercoats will need to be thinned by
20% or 25%.
• Use water to thin a water-based product.
• Use white spirit to thin a solvent-based product.
• Certain manufacturers will indicate on the can whether a specific thinner is to be used.
