CONVERTING TO REMOTE PRESSURE FEED
1. Remove suction cup and lid assembly by loosening &
removing the swivel nut (30). This will require a %"
open end wrench.
2. The spray gun is now ready to be connected to any
pressure feed tank with a standard %" straight pipe
female connection (not included).
Refer to this picture when reading the “Preparation for
Spraying” and “Operation” sections.
OPERATION
1. Shut off fluid flow through gun by turning fluid needle
adjusting screw (18) clockwise as far as it will go. Do
not force.
2. Keep the air pressure as low as possible.
3. For fan pattern open (turn counterclockwise) the fan
adjustment screw until it stops. This is the full open
position. For round pattern, the fan adjustment screw
should be turned clockwise until the desired pattern is
achieved.
4. Hold the trigger back and gradually open the fluid
needle adjusting screw until a desired pattern is
obtained.
5. Trigger the gun quickly (one second on, then release).
Spray a small test pattern.
6. If the gun sprays too fast (paint runs or sags), lower
the air and fluid pressure. If too slow, increase pres­
sure. Adjust to balance pressure.
Note
Refer to the troubleshooting guide on page 8.
This guide is useful in setting up your spray gun
as well as troubleshooting problems.
• Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface, 6" to 8"
distance.
• Follow contour of object being sprayed.
• Overlap each stroke 50%.
• Ends are feathered by triggering. That is, begin stroke
before pulling trigger and releasing just before ending
the stroke.
• Spray edges and corners first. This will reduce over­
spray while providing good coverage on corners.
• Don’t arc strokes, move gun parallel to work.
HINTS FOR GOOD SPRAYING RESULTS
Your pattern should normally be shaped like this.
If not, see Troubleshooting guide, pg. 8.
