Cleaning a Clogged Tip

1. Follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" in the Operation
section of this manual.
2. If the tip clogs, rotate the tip handle 180° until the arrow on
the handle is facing the opposite of the spray direction and
the handle clicks in the reverse position.
3. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the
clog out. NEVER use the tip in the reverse position for
more than ONE trigger pull at a time. This procedure can
be repeated until the tip is free of clogging.
The flow from the spray tip is at very high
pressure. Contact with any body part may be
dangerous. Do not place finger on gun outlet. Do
not point the gun at any person. Never operate
