Setup

Never attempt to assemble, change, or clean the gun, tip,

or tip guard without first relieving pressure from the spray

system. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in the

sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.

Always use a tip safety guard for added protection against

injection. Beware that the guard alone will not prevent

injection. Never cut off tip guard! Always engage gun trigger

lock when the gun is not in use. Before servicing equipment,

consult Owner’s Manuals and follow all warnings.

Assembling the Gun and Tip Assembly

IMPORTANT: Before attaching a gun to a grounded high pressure airless

hose, make sure that the airless spray unit is turned off and that fluid

pressure has been relieved from the system.

NOTE: Worn spray tips will adversely aect the spray pattern

and result in reduced production, poor nish, and wasted

material. Replace worn tips immediately.

IMPORTANT: The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly

after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake, seriously

affecting the performance of the unit.

Always spray at minimum pressure with

the tip and tip guard 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. Hold the gun firmly against a

metal container while flushing.

Always remove the tip/tip guard, adjust the pressure to

its lowest setting, and hold the gun firmly against a metal

container while flushing.
