8. Use the lowest pressure
setting necessary to get a
good spray pattern. If the
pressure is set too high, the
spray pattern will be too light.
If the pressure is set too low,
tailing will appear or the paint
will spatter out in gobs rather
than in a fine spray.
Unclogging the Spray Tip
Should the spray tip become clogged,
reverse the spray tip with the lever and pull
the trigger. Once the obstruction comes out
of the spray tip, release the trigger, reverse
the spray tip back to the spray pattern
setting, and resume spraying.
Cleanup
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to build
up, seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun nozzle tip
removed when using mineral spirits or any other solvent
to clean the sprayer, hose, or gun. Static electricity
buildup may result in a fire or explosion in the presence of
flammable vapors.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
2. Remove the gun tip and tip guard and clean with a brush
using the appropriate solvent.
3. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent. Examples of the appropriate solvent are water for
latex paint or mineral spirits for oil-based paints.
4. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
5. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to
the PRIME position.
6. Turn on the sprayer and set the pressure
to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob to the “1” or “2” position.
7. Allow the solvent to circulate through the
unit and flush the paint out of the return
hose into the metal waste container.
8. Turn off the sprayer by moving the
pressure control knob to the “0” position.
NOTE: Hold the return hose in the waste
container when moving the
PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME in
case the sprayer is pressurized.

9. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its
SPRAY position.
10. Turn on the sprayer and set the pressure to
minimum by turning the pressure control
knob to the “1” or “2” position.
Ground the gun by holding it against the
edge of the metal container while
flushing. Failure to do so may lead to a
static electric discharge, which may
cause a fire.
11. Trigger the gun into the metal waste
container until the paint is flushed out
of the hose and solvent is coming out of the gun.
12. Continue to trigger the spray gun into the waste container
until the solvent coming out of the gun is clean.
13. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
14. Unplug the sprayer and store in a clean, dry area.
Do not store the unit under pressure.
Cleaning the Spray Tip
1. Flush the gun with solvent immediately after the work is
completed.
2. Oil the sliding pins to prevent them from seizing up.
Do not attempt to clean the tip with your finger.
Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed instrument to
clean the tip. The hard tungsten carbide is brittle and can
be chipped.
Maintenance
Before proceeding, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
outlined previously in this manual. Additionally, follow all
other warnings to reduce the risk of an injection injury,
injury from moving parts or electric shock. Always unplug
the sprayer before servicing!
