1.Engage safety latch on spray gun.

2.Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current spray tip off. Store spray tips in space provided on handle storage panel.

3.Select desired spray tip:

For gentle rinse, select white 40° or green 25° spray tip.

4.Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and release collar.Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in place.

5.For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to

24 inches away from cleaning surface. If you get spray tip too close, you may damage cleaning surface.
