4. Fill fluid cup with desired material, then
place it on a flat, stable surface.
5. Move lock lever against vacuum relief
hose connection, then place cup lid and
gun body assembly on cup
6. Engage cup pins with hooks, then
rotate lock lever clockwise until lid is
firmly secured.
To ensure the fluid cup does not leak
or spill material during the spraying
operation, always make sure the cup
is securely sealed to the lid with
both pins fully engaged with the
hooks.
7. Set inlet air pressure (air coming into
spray gun) to lowest operating air pres-
sure recommended in Specifications
on Page 3 or to material manufac-
turer's recommendations.
8. Connect spray gun to compressed
air source. To improve tool lifespan
and avoid contaminating material with
water from air supply lines, use a filter/
lubricator/regulator setup, as shown in
Figure 4.

Note: Trial and error are necessary to
achieve the results you want, as well a
fair amount of practice. Test your mate-
rial flow and spray pattern on a piece
of cardboard or some scrap of material
similar to your project.
10. Adjust fluid control knob to start with
a low volume of material, and keep
atomization as low as possible. Use
a combination of fluid control, inlet air
pressure, air flow control, and stroke
speed to achieve desired results. Spray
so material wets out nicely without run-
ning or sagging.
11. Use pattern control knob to adjust
spray fan to desired pattern.
12. Keep gun tip perpendicular,
and 6"–12" from workpiece at all times
when spraying (see Figure 5.) Do not
allow your wrist to bend. This will cause
gun to arc across surface and distribute
material unevenly, possibly creating
sags and dry spots.

Correct
Tipping the spray gun may cause
material to spill out of the cup.
Always hold the spray gun parallel to
the ground to avoid potential spills
and feed problems.
