a. If you are spraying thicker materials, turn the
PRIME/SPRAY knob to SPRAY - MAXIMUM PRESSURE.
b. If you are spraying thinner or lighter bodied materials, turn the

through it.
2. When motor shuts off, unlock the spray gun and spray a
test area to check the spray pattern.
The motor will cycle on and off automatically as it needs
pressure.
NOTE - Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of objects with sharp cutting edges.
