CLEANING A CLOGGED TIP

If the spray pattern becomes distorted or stops
i
completely while pulling the trigger, perform the
steps below.
1.
Flip the PRIME/SPRAY valve lever to the PRIME position.
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 stops in the reverse position.
3.
Flip the PRIME/SPRAY valve lever to
the SPRAY position.
4.
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 the spray gun without
the proper tip guard.

CLEANUP

The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned
thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so permits
material to build up, seriously affecting the
performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun
nozzle tip removed when using mineral spirits or
any other solvent to clean the sprayer, hose, or
gun. Static electricity buildup may result in a fire or
explosion in the presence of flammable vapors.
