7. Thread the tip guard onto the gun.
Position the tip guard in the desired
spraying position, then tighten securely.
i
The arrow on the tip handle
should be pointing in the forward
direction for spraying.
Operation
1. Make sure the arrow on the tip handle
is pointing in the forward direction for
spraying.
2. Start the sprayer. Refer to the instructions
in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
3. Adjust the fluid pressure on the sprayer
until the spray is completely atomized.
Always spray at the lowest pressure
necessary to get the desired results.
i
The spray tip determines the size
of spray pattern and coverage.
When more coverage is needed,
use a larger tip instead of
increasing fluid pressure.
4. To clear a clogged tip:
a. Rotate the tip 180º so that the arrow on
the tip handle is pointing opposite the
spray direction.
b. Trigger the gun once so that the
pressure can blow the clog out.
Attention
Never pull the trigger more than
once with the tip in the reverse
position.
c. Continue this procedure until the tip is
clear of the clog.
Changing a Tip
Tips can be removed and replaced easily
without disassembling the gun.
Never attempt to change or clean
the tip or tip guard without first
performing the “Pressure Relief
Procedure.”
1. Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure”
described in the sprayer’s Owner’s
Manual.
2. Remove the tip from the slot on the tip
guard.
3. Insert the new tip into the slot on the
tip guard. The arrow on the tip handle
should be pointing in the forward
direction for spraying.
Removing the Seal and Tip seal
1. Remove the tip (1) from the tip guard (2).
2. Insert the tip handle through the front of
the tip guard.
3. Push the tip seal (3) and tip seal retainer
(4) out through the back of the tip guard.

Identifying Tip Sizes
To identify tip sizes, use the following formula.
A “517” tip size will be used in this example.
The first digit multiplied by two represents the
size of the spray pattern when spraying 12”
away from the work surface:
5 x 2 = 10” spray pattern
The second two digits represent the diameter
of the orifice on the tip:
17 = .017” orifice
i
Worn spray tips will adversely
affect the spray pattern and
result in reduced production,
poor finish, and wasted material.
Replace worn tips immediately.
