10.3 Converting the gun from non-bleeder to
Bleeder
Your HVLP spray gun can be converted from a non-bleeder to a
bleeder setup. Bleeder setup provides more atomizing power for
higher viscosity materials, such as latex and enamels. Bleeder setup
can make it easier to spray in confined spaces, such as inside cabinets,
because the air hose is moved to the back of the gun.
To convert a spray gun to bleeder setup:
1. Remove the air flow adjustment knob (Fig. 32, item 1) from
the rear of the gun using a wrench.
2. Remove the air inlet fitting (2) from the bottom of the gun
handle using a wrench.
3. Thread the air inlet fitting (2) into the air flow adjustment knob
location at the rear of the gun (3). Secure the fitting in place.

4. Thread the air inlet plug [Fig. 33, item 1 (shipped loose with
the gun literature pack)] into the air inlet at the bottom of the
gun handle. Secure the plug in place.

5. Attach the air hose to the relocated air inlet fitting.

In bleeder setup, the removal of the air flow
adjustment knob causes the air supply to be on at all
times when the air hose is attached to the gun.
