Section 3 - Operation
3.11 Hand Spray Gun Operation
Deploying the hand spray gun:
1. Activate the paint system. Refer to section
3.9 Starting Paint Operations.
2. If necessary, install the nozzle shroud on the
spray gun.
3. Pull the spray gun and hoses out from the reel.
4. Make sure to allow enough extra hose to take
the tension off the gun while spraying. Then
allow the hose to slowly retract until the reel
locks.
5. Set the hand gun atomizer pressure at least 10
PSI (.7 BAR) above paint tank pressure.
6. Make sure the water valve is OFF and open the
white or yellow paint valve next to the reel.
7. Pull the trigger on the hand gun to begin
spraying.
Cleaning and storing the hand spray gun:
1. When done spraying, pull the hose out slightly
to release the lock. Hold the spray gun so it
does not drag on the ground and maintain
tension on the hose so it lays neatly on the
reel as it rewinds.
2. Retract the hose until the gun is 5 or 10 feet
from the rear platform.
3. Make sure the water tank is pressurized.
4. Close the paint supply valve and open the
water valve.
5. Pull the spray gun trigger and flush the hose
until just clean water is coming from the gun.
6. Remove the spray gun nozzle shroud and soak
in simple green. Store in a covered container in
the tool box.
7. Use the water system and hose to rinse paint
residue from all spray gun components and
the hose.
8. Fully retract the hose and gun. Make sure the
gun is seated properly in the roller guide when
it is fully retracted.
9. Close the water valve.
