SPRAYING TECHNIQUES
Before you begin, clean the surface area to remove any debris or dirt buildup for optimal results.
Protect and cover any surfaces that you do not intend to spray.
How to Set Proper Spray Pattern
If you do not have much experience using a paint sprayer, practice by using water and spraying on a
system and that the surface is completely dry.
Spray Pattern
A good spray pattern results when paint is applied consistently and evenly to the surface without
any runs in the pattern, which occurs when too much or too little paint is sprayed in a single area.
To properly set your spray pattern, start the sprayer at the lowest possible PSI pressure setting and
gradually increase the PSI pressure setting until you reach an even and consistent spray pattern.
2. Hand tighten nut on spray guard (J). Unlock
safety lock and continue to spray.

Note:
Do a few spray tests on a sheet of cardboard to
make sure you achieve a good spray pattern. If you reach
the maximum PSI pressure setting and the spray pattern is
tip size may be required.
