Adjust the Spray Pattern
1. To adjust the spray pattern direction, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure. Engage the safety
latch and loosen the tip guard retaining nut. Turn
the spry tip so the groove is horizontal for a hori-
zontal spray pattern, and vertical for a vertical
spray pattern. Tighten the nut.
2. The spray tip orifice size and spray angle deter-
mine the coverage and size of pattern. When
more coverage is needed, use a larger spray tip
rather than increasing the fluid pressure.
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury by
fluid injection or splashing in the eyes or
on the skin, NEVER use the gun with the
tip guard removed.
CAUTION
Openings in the tip guard are designed to reduce
material buildup on the guard while spraying. Any
damage to the sharp edges of the openings causes
paint to collect at that area. To reduce the risk of
damage, never hang the gun by the tip guard.

Operation
Cleaning and Clearing the Spray Tip
front of the spray tip when cleaning or checking a
clogged tip. Always point the gun toward the
ground or into a waste container when checking to
see if the spray tip is cleared.
DO NOT try to "blow back" paint; this is NOT an
air spray gun.
DO NOT wipe fluid build–up off the gun or spray
tip until the pressure is relieved. See the Pressure
Relief Procedure.
Clean off the front of the tip frequently during the day's
operation and at the end of the work day. Always
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 9.
Then use a solvent soaked brush to clean the spray tip
and to keep fluid buildup from drying and clogging the
spray tip.
If the spray tip clogs while spraying, release the spray
gun trigger, engage the trigger safety, shut off the
pump, and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on
page 9. Then remove the spray tip and blow out the
obstruction with air from the front of the spray tip, or let
the spray tip and gun nozzle soak long enough to
dissolve the obstruction. If it won't dissolve, jar it out
by tapping the back of the spray tip against a flat
surface.
NEVER soak the entire gun in solvent. Prolonged
exposure to solvent can ruin the packings.
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of a fluid injection or
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, DO
NOT hold your hand, body, or a rag in
