Spraying Techniques

Preventing Excessive Tip Wear
Spray should be atomized (evenly distributed, no
gaps at edges). Start at low pressure setting,
increase pressure a little at a time until you see a
good spray pattern, without tails.
Spray at lowest pressure that atomizes paint.
If maximum sprayer pressure is not enough for a
good spray pattern, tip is too worn. See Reversible
Spray Tip Selection Chart, page 15.

NOTE: If tails persist when spraying at the highest pres-
sure, a smaller tip is needed or the material may need to
be thinned.
Adjust Spray Pressure
This sprayer is set up for most airless spraying applica-
tions. Details on tip selection, tip wear, coat thickness,
etc. are provided on page 15.
NOTE: Motor only runs when gun is triggered. Sprayer
is designed to stop pumping when gun trigger is
released.
Align setting indicator with function symbol on Pressure
Control knob, page 10.
Turning knob to right (clockwise), increases pres-
sure at gun.
Turning it left (counter-clockwise), decreases pres-
sure.
General spraying instructions are provided in Get-
ting Started with Basic Spraying Techniques section
of this manual, page 16.
