Unclogging Spray Tip
Do not operate or spray near children. Do not aim the
sprayer at, or spray any person or animal. Keep hands
and other body parts away from the discharge. For

clog the spray tip. Perform the following steps to unclog
the tip.
1. To unclog tip obstruction, engage trigger lock.
2. Reverse spray tip to UNCLOG position.
NOTE: Trapped pressure in the gun and paint hose may
make the spray tip very difficult to turn. If so, perform the
Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8, before rotating
spray tip.
3. Aim gun at waste area, disengage trigger lock, Pull
trigger to clear clog.
