housing, seal first. 
Tip the tool to remove 
it when seal is in 
place.

gun.

12 inches (304 mm) from surface. Wear 
gloves if fluid temperature exceeds 110°F 
(43°C).
8. Move gun first, then pull gun trigger to
spray onto test paper.
a. Adjust fluid pressure until spray is com-
pletely atomized.
b. If adjusting pressure does not give a
good spray pattern, follow Pressure 
Relief Procedure, then try another tip 
size.
9. Trigger gun full-open or full-close.
Adjusting Spray Pattern
The spray tip orifice and spray angle determine 
pattern coverage and size. When you need 
more coverage, use a larger spray tip rather 
than increasing fluid pressure.

Engage trigger lock.
2. Loosen tip guard retaining nut.
3. Align guard horizontally to spray a 
horizontal pattern. Align guard vertically to 
spray a vertical pattern.
