Spraying:
1. Turn unit on.
2. Trigger gun, and increase pressure slowly. Continue to increase the pressure until the spray
pattern is uniformed from top to bottom, with no heavy areas. If heavy areas are still visible at
maximum pressure settings, thin paint with the correct thinner, according to the paint manu-
facturer’s instructions. Spray test patterns onto old newspaper or other scrap material.
Always use the lowest possible pressure setting to atomize paint fully. Replace worn
tips immediately, as it is not possible to obtain satisfactory spray pattern with a worn
tip.
3. Check all fluid connection points for possible leaks. Correct before continuing.
4. Spray Paint. NOTE: For best results, read and practice the spray techniques shown on pages
6-7.
Shut Down:
1. Turn off unit.
2. Perform the Pressure Relief Procedures as shown on page 4.
3. Remove tip guard and gun filter. Place in your “flushing” bucket.
4. Perform the “Flushing” procedures as shown on page 5. Ensure you continue to flush the
sprayer until the “Flushing” fluid is running clear and no spray materials remain in the sprayer.
5. Before storing, the final “Flushing” rinse must be made with mineral spirits, regardless of what
is to be sprayed next. NEVER leave water or paint in the unit, even over night.
6. Clean tip guard, tip and gun filter. Re-assemble spray gun and store for next use.
