CS9960 Spray System

CS9960 Spray System — Overview

The CS9960 is a powerful HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure) turbine-driven spray system built for fine-finish tasks, furniture, woodwork, and coatings requiring controlled atomization. Its 6-stage turbine delivers robust airflow and enough atomizing pressure (≈ 10 PSI) to spray heavier coatings, including multi-color materials and latex with minimal thinning. The complete system typically includes a turbine unit, air hoses, an HVLP spray gun (commonly a “Maxum II” 1-quart gun with #3 tip set), and necessary connectors and air filtration components. 

Because it combines power and portability (the turbine unit weighs about 26 lbs) and a dual-filter airflow system, CS9960 is designed to offer professional-quality finishes while remaining workable for contractors and serious hobbyists.

Key Features

• 6-Stage turbine with ~10 PSI output — This is among the highest atomizing-power portable HVLP turbines in its class, sufficient to handle heavier coatings such as latex or multi-color materials without requiring excessive thinning. 
• Two-speed motor control — Offers flexibility: high speed (for heavier coatings and maximum atomization) or low speed (for lighter coatings, finer control, and reduced overspray), depending on the material.
• Dual-air filtration system — One filter for atomizing air (to capture fine particles and ensure clean airflow) and another for cooling air (to ensure proper turbine cooling). This helps prolong the system’s life and maintain consistent spray performance. 
• Included spray gun and tip set, with material hose and whip hose — Usually delivered with a “Maxum II” HVLP gun (1-quart cup) and tip set (#3), plus a 30 ft air hose and 5 ft whip hose, giving flexibility and reach for most projects. 
• Portability and relatively light weight — At ~26 lbs, the turbine unit remains reasonably portable, making it easier to move around workshops or job sites compared to heavier commercial sprayers.
• Capability to spray heavier and high-solids coatings — Thanks to the powerful turbine and proper atomization, the CS9960 can apply thicker coatings — ideal for wood finishes, lacquers, stains, primers, and even latex-based paints when needed.

Applications

The CS9960 Spray System parts well-suited for jobs including:

• Furniture finishing — cabinets, tables, chairs, woodwork trim
• Cabinetry, cabinets, doors, window frames, moldings, where a smooth, even, high-quality finish is desired
  
  
• Interior woodwork, paneling, molding, baseboards, built-ins
• Applying lacquers, stains, varnishes, sealers, primers, and medium-to-heavy coatings (including latex or multi-color finishes)
• Small/medium workshop or renovation projects where portability and fine finish matter
• Projects needing controlled atomization and minimal overspray make it a good choice for indoor or detailed work
  
  

FAQ’s

Q1: How often should I clean or replace the air filters on my CS9960?

 Because CS9960 relies on a dual-air filtration system to both cool the turbine and provide atomizing air, you should inspect filters regularly, ideally before each painting session. If the filter warning light is triggered or you notice reduced airflow, remove and clean or replace the filters. Consistent filter maintenance helps avoid overheating or damage to the turbine.

Q2: My spray pattern looks uneven or spits. What should I check first?

 Uneven spray or sputtering can result from a clogged nozzle/air-cap, dirty or blocked fluid passages, worn tip set, or insufficient airflow (e.g., due to dirty filters). Clean or replace the nozzle/air cap and inspect fluid paths. Also, ensure correct tip selection for your paint viscosity, and verify hoses and connections are secure.

Q3: Can I use heavier coatings like latex or high-solids paint without thinning?

 Yes, the 6-stage, ~10 PSI turbine of CS9960 is powerful enough to handle heavier coatings, including some latex paints or high-solids materials, often with little to no thinning. However, always follow paint manufacturer recommendations and test atomization on scrap material first to confirm an acceptable spray pattern.

Q4: How do I store the sprayer when not in use to prolong its life?

After each use, flush and clean the spray gun, hoses, and fluid passages thoroughly. Remove residual paint, clean filters, dry all parts completely, and cover or store in a dry, dust-free environment. Periodically check seals, foam pads, and hoses for wear. This preventive maintenance greatly extends the lifespan of the system.

Q5: Which parts tend to wear out most often, and should I keep them as spares?

Common wear-and-replace items include air-filter sets, foam seals or dampening pads, hoses and quick-disconnect fittings, nozzles/air-caps (tip sets), and internal components like airflow switches or fan-noise foam/silencer parts. Keeping a spare filter set, nozzle/air cap, hose, and seals on hand is recommended, especially if you use the sprayer frequently.
