Warnings The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equip- ment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbol refers to procedure-specific risk. Refer back to these warnings. Additional, product-specific warnings may be found throughout the body of this manual where applicable.
Gun Selection PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause serious injury. • Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment. •...
Setup At least one hose must provide a static ground to the gun. Connect Air and Fluid Lines 1. Shut off the air supply. 2. Install a shutoff valve (not supplied) down- stream of the air regulator to shut off gun air.
Setup Adjust Spray Pattern 1. Rotate the air cap to achieve desired spray pattern. See F . 2. ti4839a 2. To achieve full fan pattern, open the air control valve by turning the knob fully coun- terclockwise. See F . 3. 3.
Operation Pressure Relief Procedure Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury from splashing or moving parts. 1. Turn off air and fluid supply. 2. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a grounded metal pail.
Daily Gun Maintenance Daily Gun Maintenance Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 9, when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, servicing, or transporting equip- ment. Read Warnings, page 5. General Tasks • Frequently lubricate the gun moving parts with a drop of non-silicone oil. •...
Clean Gun CAUTION • Do not submerge gun in solvent. Solvent dissolves lubricant, dries out packings, and clogs air passages. • Do not use metal tools to clean air cap holes as this may scratch them and distort the spray pattern. •...
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Problem Spray Pattern Right Spray Pattern Wrong Heavy top or bottom Spray Pattern Wrong Split pattern Spray Pattern Wrong Cause Normal pattern. Dirty or damaged air cap or fluid nozzle. Pressure too high for viscosity of material being sprayed. Dirty or distorted air horn holes.

Problem Gun spitting. Will not spray. Excessive air blowing back. Excessive air leak behind trigger. Gun fluid pressure is too high with gun triggered (cannot achieve desired flow rate). Using a low fluid pressure set- ting, the fluid flow is too high, making it necessary to restrict needle travel to reduce fluid flow.
Repair Repair Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 9. See Parts, page 16, for callout references. Disassembly 1. Unscrew retaining ring (14) to remove air cap (13b). Check o-rings (13a and 13c) and replace if necessary. 2. Trigger gun while unscrewing nozzle (11) to prevent needle damage.
Reassembly 1. Install air control valve assembly (5) with valve turned fully counterclockwise to out- ermost position. Torque to 85-90 in-lb (9.6-10.2 N•m). 2. Install air inlet valve assembly (27) with valve turned fully counterclockwise to out- ermost position. Torque to 205-215 in-lb (23.2-24.3 N•m).
Parts Parts Pull trigger before installing nozzle (11). Insert spreader (15) with tapered end facing rear of gun. Insert u-cup (16) with open end facing front of gun. Apply lubricant. Apply low strength thread retainer. Apply high-strength thread retainer. Torque to 85-90 in-lbs (9.6-10.2 N•m). Torque to 15-20 in-lbs (1.7-2.2 N•m).
