Installation/Operation
How to Check the Gun Diffuser Operation
Check the diffuser operation weekly. The gun diffuser/
seat (A) breaks up spray and reduces the risk of fluid
injection when the tip is not installed. Perform the test
below. If it fails, replace the entire Needle Kit, Part No.
218–070, as instructed on page 7. Diffuser/seats are
not sold separately since the gun will leak if an old
needle is used with a new diffuser/seat.
1. Follow
Pressure Relief Procedure
on page 5.
2. Remove the tip guard and spray tip.
3. Start the sprayer and adjust it to the lowest
pressure.
4. Aim the gun into a grounded metal pail while
holding it firmly to the pail. Trigger the gun. If the
fluid emitted
is not
diffused into an irregular
stream, replace the entire needle kit immediately.
See Fig. 5.
How to Clean the Filter
