FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The GTi PRO Lite spray gun is a professional quality gun designed with EPA compliant, High Efficiency
or high volume, low pressure (HVLP) technology. HVLP technology reduces overspray and limits air
cap pressure to 0.7 bar [10 psi]. High Efficiency complies with EPA by obtaining transfer efficiency
above 65%.

+ NOT INCLUDED IN THE GUN KIT, ONLY WITH REF 22
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.
SB-E-2-856 R.04 8/24 www.carlisleft.com
EN
CAUTION
IMPORTANT: This spraygun is suitable for use with both waterbased and solvent based coating
materials.
• The gun is not designed for use with highly corrosive and/or abrasive materials.
• To avoid premature degradation of parts, DeVilbiss recommends the gun is washed in neutral
cleaning solution (pH 6 to 8).
• The gun is not designed to be cleaned within an ultrasonic bath.
If there is any doubt regarding the suitability of a specific material, contact your DeVilbiss Distributor
or DeVilbiss direct.
START-UP SEQUENCE
1. Connect the gun to a clean, moisture and oil free air supply using a conductive hose of at least
8mm I.D.
2. Mix coating material to Manufacturer's instructions and strain material.
3. Turn fluid adjusting knob (28) clockwise to prevent fluid needle movement.
4. Turn spreader valve adjusting knob (45) counter clockwise to fully open.
5. Adjust inlet air pressure if required.
6. Turn fluid adjusting knob counter clockwise until first thread shows.
7. Test spray. If the finish is too dry, reduce airflow by reducing air inlet pressure.
8. If finish is too wet, reduce fluid flow by turning fluid adjusting knob (28) clockwise. If atomisation
is too coarse, increase air inlet pressure. If too fine, reduce inlet pressure.
9. The pattern size can be reduced by turning spreader valve knob (45) clockwise.
10. Hold gun perpendicular to surface being sprayed. Arcing or tilting may result in uneven coating.
11. The recommended spray distance is 150-200mm.
12. Spray edges first. Overlap each stroke a minimum of 75%. Move gun at a constant speed.
13. Always turn off air supply and relieve pressure when gun is not in use.
SB-E-2-856 R.04 9/24 www.carlisleft.com
EN
NOTE
Depending on hose length, larger I.D. hose may be required. Install an air gauge at the gun handle.
When gun is triggered on, adjust regulated pressure as required. Do not use more pressure than is
necesarry to atomise the material being applied. Excess pressure will create additional overspray and
reduce transfer efficiency.
NOTE
If quick connect couplings are required, use only high flow quick connects. Other types will not flow
enough air for correct gun operation.
SPRAY GUN MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
To clean air cap and fluid tip, brush exterior with a stiff bristle brush. If necesarry to clean cap holes,
use a broom straw or toothpick if possible. If a wire or hard instrument is used, extreme care must
be taken to prevent scratching or burring of the holes which will cause a distorted spray pattern.
To clean fluid passages, remove excess material, then flush with gun wash solution. Wipe the gun
exterior with a dampened cloth. Never completely immerse in any solvent or cleaning solutions as
this is detrimental to the lubricants and life of the spray gun.

DISASSEMBLY TIP & NEEDLE
NOTE
When replacing the fluid tip or fluid needle, replace tip, needle and fluid packing at the same time.
Using worn parts can cause fluid leakage. Do not overtighten.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to fluid tip or fluid needle, be sure to either:
1. Pull the trigger and hold while tightening or loosening the fluid tip, or,
2. Remove the fluid adjusting knob to relieve spring pressure against needle collar.
