Operation

Note: The following instructions are for guns used with 
Graco FinishPro Sprayers. See the sprayer instruction 
manual 313316. If you are using a different sprayer, see 
your equipment instruction manual.

Setup

1.

Prime sprayer. See manual 313316.

2.

Slide air on/off valve on (up).

3.

Turn air adjustment valve off at 
gun.

4.

Increase fluid pressure to 
eliminate tails.

5.

Decrease fluid pressure until 
just before tails start to 
appear.

6.

Increase air pressure with air 
adjustment valve to eliminate 
tails.

7.

Slide air on/off valve off (down) 
when finished spraying to save 
proper air pressure setting.

Spray

1.

Unlock trigger lock. 

2.

Be sure the arrow shaped tip (B) faces forward 
(spray) (257096).

3.

Hold gun perpendicular and approximately 12 in. 
(304 mm) from surface. Move gun first, then pull gun 
trigger (D) to spray a test pattern.

4.

Do not spray in an arc. This causes an uneven fluid 
coat. Spray in a path parallel to the surface, with a 
50% overlap, to obtain an even fluid coat.

NOTICE

If air cap is not fully installed on gun, fluid pressure 
can force paint into air line and damage sprayer.
