Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure Trigger Lock Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol. See F . 5. Always engage gun trigger lock when you stop spraying to prevent gun from being triggered acci- dentally by hand or if dropped or bumped. This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved.
Operation Flush 4. Turn regulator adjustment knob (E) counterclock- wise until it stops, and gauge (D) reads zero. To avoid fire and explosion, always ground equipment and waste container. To avoid static sparking and injury from splashing, always flush at the lowest possible pressure.
Operation 7. If flushing through drain/purge valve: Prime a. Place drain tube in a grounded waste pail. Open drain/purge valve (S) slightly by rotating counterclockwise. 1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10. 2. See F . 1. Lock gun trigger. Remove tip guard and spray tip from gun (H).
Operation 6. Prime through drain valve, if necessary (usually for 7. Prime hose and gun: one component, high viscosity materials): a. Disengage gun trigger lock. a. Place drain tube in a grounded waste pail. Open drain/purge valve (S) slightly by rotating counterclockwise.
