Common Procedures

Reversible Spray Tip

Pressure Control Knob

Always perform Pressure Relief Procedure before adjusting spray tip position.

In the event that particles or debris clog the spray tip, this sprayer is designed with a reversible spray tip that can be used to quickly and easily clear the particles and resume spraying as quickly as possible.

Always point the reversible spray tip forward when spraying.

When particles or debris get caught in the tip, it can be reversed to quickly clean the tip.

See Unclogging Spray/Tip Guard Assembly (page 14) for detailed instructions.

Minimum Pressure Setting Maximum Pressure Setting

To reduce overspray, always spray at lowest pres- sure that results in an acceptable spray pattern.

Spray test pattern and adjust pressure to get desired coverage.

With some materials, if pressure is set too low, no material may spray out. Turn pressure control knob up.

Thin materials sprayed at high pressure settings may cause the sprayer to enter an operational mode designed to protect it from overheating. This mode is noticeable by the sprayer sounding like it is slow- ing down and will result in a poor spray pattern.

To exit this mode, turn pressure control knob down to lowest pressure setting that results in an acceptable spray pattern.

If spraying in low pressure range, there may not be enough pressure to clear the plug. Turn pressure control knob up to clear the plug.

NOTICE

See Choosing Pressure Control Knob Setting on page 12 for recommendations on the setting for your job.
