Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of air compressor do I need for this kit?

You will need an air compressor that can deliver a minimum of 6 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) at the required working pressure for the tools.

Are the fittings on the tools standard?

Yes, all tools in the KIT1100 kit are fitted with standard 1/4" BSP fittings, compatible with most common air hoses and compressors.

Can I use this kit for professional automotive painting?

This kit is primarily designed for DIY and hobbyist use. While the spray gun can be used for painting, professional automotive work may require tools with higher specifications and finer control.

How do I clean the air wash gun after use?

After use, empty any remaining cleaning fluid from the steel pot. Flush the system with a suitable solvent, and then clean the pot and pickup tube. Store in a dry location.

What is the length of the included air hose?

The kit includes a 5-metre (approximately 16.4 feet) air recoil hose.

Is the tyre inflator gauge easy to read?

Yes, the tyre inflator features a dual-scale gauge displaying readings in both Bar and PSI, with a protective rubber surround for durability.

What maintenance is required for these tools?

Basic maintenance includes keeping the tools clean, ensuring connections are tight, and storing them in a dry environment. The spray gun and wash gun may require occasional cleaning of nozzles and internal passages.

Troubleshooting

Air tool not operating with sufficient power.

Verify that your air compressor meets the minimum 6 CFM rating and is set to the appropriate operating pressure. Check for air leaks in the hose and connections. Ensure the tool's air inlet is not obstructed.

Spray gun is sputtering or delivering an uneven spray pattern.

Ensure the air compressor is maintaining adequate pressure and airflow. Check that the spray gun's cup is not overfilled and that the fluid needle and nozzle are clean and correctly assembled. Verify the paint/fluid is the correct viscosity for the sprayer.

Tyre inflator gauge is inaccurate or not functioning.

Check the gauge for damage. Ensure the inflator head is properly seated on the tyre valve. If the gauge is consistently inaccurate, it may require recalibration or replacement, though this is uncommon for simple gauge designs.

Air wash gun is not spraying cleaning fluid effectively.

Confirm the steel pot is correctly attached and the pickup tube is submerged in the cleaning fluid. Check for blockages in the nozzle. Ensure adequate air pressure is supplied.

Hose is leaking air.

Inspect the hose for cracks or damage. Tighten all fittings at both ends of the hose and where tools connect. Replace the hose if significant damage is found.
