Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury , including
fluid injection, injury from splashing fluid or solvent in
the eyes or on the skin, moving parts or electric shock,
always follow this procedure whenever you shut off the
sprayer, when checking or servicing any part of the
spray system, when installing, cleaning or changing
spray tips, and whenever you stop spraying.
1. Engage the gun safety latch.
2. Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
3. Unplug the power supply cord.
4. Disengage the gun safety latch. Hold a metal part
of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal
pail, and trigger the gun to relieve pressure.

Armature Short Circuit Test
Quickly turn the motor fan by hand. If there are no shorts,
the motor will coast two or three revolutions before com-

armature is shorted and the motor must be replaced. See
page 32.
