IMPORTANT: Before using this
equipment, read all safety precau-
tions on page 2 and instructions.
Keep for future use.
DESCRIPTION, GUN
The high volume low pressure gravity
feed M1-G guns are designed to apply a
wide variety of finishing materials. These
guns were manufactured to provide a
maximum transfer efficiency by limiting
air cap pressure to 10 psi (complies with
rules issued by SCAQMD and other air
quality authorities).
These guns will produce approxi-
mately 10 psi air cap pressure at the
recommended gun inlet pressure.
Air cap test kits are available (see
Accessories) which can be utilized to
set the exact air cap pressure.
DESCRIPTION, CUP
This cup is designed to be used with
or without the disposable cup liner.
The cup liner allows painting in any
position and simplifies clean up.
This gravity feed cup is designed to
work with the M1-G gravity feed spray
guns. The cup is constructed from
durable aluminum to provide trouble-
free operation. The cup fluid fitting is
electroless nickel plated brass. The
disposable cup lid is recyclable and is
constructed with recycled polyeth-
ylene. The lid has a unique drip check
to prevent paint from dripping out of
the vent in the lid.

Halogenated
Solvents—for example: 1, 1, 1-
trichloroethane and methylene
chloride can react with the
aluminum in this cup and cause
an explosion hazard. Read the
data sheet for the material you
intend to spray. Do not use
spray
materials
these solvents with this cup.
INSTALLATION
NOTE
Protective coating and rust
inhibitors have been used to
keep the gun and cup in good
condition prior to shipment.
Before using, flush with solvents
so that these materials will be
removed from fluid passages.
For maximum transfer efficiency, do
not use more pressure than is neces-
sary to atomize the material being
applied.
1. Connect the gun to a clean, mois-
ture and oil free air supply using a
hose size of at least 5/16" I.D. hose.
Do not use 1/4" I.D. hose.
NOTE
When gun is triggered on,
adjust regulated pressure to
desired setting to provide a
maximum of 10 psi at the air
cap. Do not use more pressure
than is necessary to atomize
the material being applied.
Excessive pressure will create
additional overspray and reduce
transfer efficiency.
NOTE
If quick connects are required,
use ONLY high flow quick
connects approved for HVLP use,
such as HC-4419 and HC-4719.
Other types will not flow enough
air for proper gun operation.

If an air adjusting valve is used at
the gun inlet, use Model HAV-500
or HAV-501. Some competitive
Hydrocarbon
adjusting valves have significant
pressure drop that can adversely
affect spray performance. Models
HAV-500 and HAV-501 have
minimal pressure drop, which is
important for HVLP spraying.
2. Attach the gravity feed cup to the
containing
material inlet.
ASSEMBLY OF CUP TO GUN
1. Install one of the blue cup gaskets.
2. Place this cup gasket in the fluid
inlet of the gun body.
3. Place filter in
cup outlet at
this time if
desired.
4. A s s e m b l e
cup to gun
and
hand tight.
FILLING WITH PAINT
Fill the cup with paint to the full mark.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
INSTALLING THE LID
Place plastic lid on the top of the cup,
and push in the center of the lid to
assemble lid. Fold vent cap and push
onto center portion of lid (if vent cap is
not already assembled).
