Spray Gun Maintenance
Cleaning the Spray Tip
1. Flush the gun with the appropriate solvent immediately
after the work is completed.
2. Oil the retractor pins to prevent them from seizing up.
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.
Replacing the Gun Filter
1. Move the gun trigger lock to the unlocked position.
2. Loosen and remove the handle from the gun body.
3. Turning clockwise, unscrew the filter from the gun body.
4. Turning counterclockwise, screw the new or cleaned filter
into the gun body.
5. Make sure the handle seal is in position and thread the
handle into the gun body until secure.
6. Move the gun trigger lock to the locked position.

Airless Tip Selection
Tips are selected by the orifice size and fan width. The proper
selection is determined by the fan width required for a specific
job and by the orifice size that will supply the desired amount
of fluid and accomplish proper atomization.
For light viscosity fluids, smaller orifice tips generally are
desired. For heavier viscosity materials, larger orifice tips are
preferred. Please refer to the chart below.
The following chart indicates the most common sizes and the
appropriate materials to be sprayed.
Fan widths measuring 8" to 12" (20 to 30 cm) are most
preferred because they offer more control while spraying and
are less likely to plug.
