12. Remove the return hose from the waste container and place
it in its operating position above the container of paint.
13. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the SPRAY position.
14. Turn on the sprayer.
15. Turn the pressure control knob slowly clockwise to
increase pressure.
16. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
Ground the gun by holding it against the
edge of the metal container while flushing.
Failure to do so may lead to a static
electric discharge, which may cause a fire.
17. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until all air
and solvent is flushed from the spray hose and paint is
flowing freely from the gun.
18. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
19. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting.
20. Turn off the sprayer.
21. Attach tip guard and tip to the gun as instructed by the tip
guard or tip manuals.
POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD. Do not spray without the
tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun unless the tip is in
either the spray or the unclog position. Always engage the
gun trigger lock before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.
22. Turn on the sprayer.
23. Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control
knob slowly clockwise. Test the spray pattern and line
position on a long piece of roofing felt or cardboard.
a. Adjust the pressure control knob until the spray from
the gun is completely atomized. Try to keep the
pressure control knob at the lowest setting that
maintains good atomization.
b. Check for proper line width and position. If adjustment
to the position of the spray gun is required, refer to the
“Setup” procedure earlier in this section.
24. Make sure that the spray gun completely shuts off when
the gun trigger is released. If adjustment to the trigger
tension is required, refer to the “Adjusting the Trigger
Tension” procedure earlier in this section.
Pressure Relief Procedure
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure when
shutting the unit down for any purpose, including
servicing or adjusting any part of the spray system,
changing or cleaning spray tips, or preparing for cleanup.
1. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
2. Turn off the sprayer by moving the pump ON/OFF switch
to the OFF position.
3. Turn off the engine by moving the engine ON/OFF switch
to the OFF position.
4. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its
lowest setting.
5. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
NOTE: Turning the pressure up higher than needed to
atomize the paint will cause premature tip wear
and additional overspray.

4. Hold the metal part of the gun firmly to
the side of a metal container to ground
the gun and avoid a build up of static
electricity.
5. Trigger the gun to remove any pressure
that may still be in the hose.
6. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
7. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the PRIME position.
Cleanup
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
•Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
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.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
2. Remove the gun tip and tip guard and clean with a brush
using the appropriate solvent.
3. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent (refer to recommendations of the material
manufacturer). An example of the appropriate solvent is
water for latex paint.
4. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
5. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to its PRIME position.
6. Move the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position and
start the engine.
7. Turn on the sprayer by moving
the pump ON/OFF switch to the
ON position.
8. Slowly turn the pressure control
knob clockwise to increase the
pressure until fluid starts to
come out of the return hose.
9. Allow the solvent to circulate
through the sprayer and flush
the paint out of the return hose
into the metal waste container.
10. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting.
11.Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position.
12. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to its SPRAY position.
13. Turn on the sprayer.
14. Turn the pressure control knob slowly clockwise to
increase pressure.
