Spray

1.Unlock trigger lock.

2.Be sure the arrow shaped tip (B) faces forward (spray) (257096).

3.Hold gun perpendicular and approximately 12 in. (304 mm) from surface. Move gun first, then pull gun trigger (D) to spray a test pattern.

4.Do not spray in an arc. This causes an uneven fluid coat. Spray in a path parallel to the surface, with a 50% overlap, to obtain an even fluid coat.
