Setup
Material Preparation
1. Stir the spraying material thoroughly before measuring
viscosity.
2. Dip the viscosity test cup completely into the spraying
material.
3. Hold the test cup up and measure the time in seconds until
the liquid empties out. This time is referred to below as
Runout Time.
MATERIAL FLASH POINT MUST BE 70°F (21°C) OR
HIGHER.
Fill Container
1. Unscrew the cup from the spray gun.
2. After the material has been properly thinned and strained,
fill the container to the top of the neck.
3. Carefully screw the cup back onto the spray gun.
Material to be sprayed should always be strained to
remove any impurities in the paint which may enter and
clog the system. Impurities in the paint will give poor
performance and a poor finish.

Before spraying, the material being used may need to be
thinned with the proper solvent as specified by the
material manufacturer. Never exceed the thinning
advice given by the coating manufacturer.
Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 70°F
(21°C). Follow the instructions below.
Assembly
1. Align the arrow on the spray gun with the “unlock” symbol
on the turbine.
2. Insert and twist the spray gun into the turbine toward the
“lock” symbol on the turbine. The tab below the trigger will
lock the two pieces into place.
Aligning the Suction Tube
By pointing the suction tube in the proper direction, you
will not have to refill the container as often.
If you are going to be spraying in an upward direction,
the angled end of the suction tube should be pointing
toward the rear of the gun.
If you are going to be spraying in a downward direction,
the angled end of the suction tube should be pointing
toward the front of the gun.
