b.Disengage the trigger safety latch. See Fig. 2. Holding a metal part of the gun firmly against a grounded metal pail, trigger the gun until all air is forced out of the system and the paint flows freely from the gun.
c.Release the trigger and engage the trigger safety latch.
5.Check all fluid connections for leaks. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 11 before tightening connections.
6.Install the spray tip and tip guard. Engage the trigger safety latch. Install the spray tip according to the instructions supplied with it.
7.Adjust the spray pattern.
a.Increase the pressure slowly just until spray from the gun is completely atomized. Use the lowest pressure needed to get the desired results. This reduces overspray and fogging, decreases tip wear and extends sprayer life.
b.If more coverage is needed, use a larger tip rather than increasing the pressure.
c.Test the spray pattern. Adjust the spray tip pattern according to the instructions supplied with the gun or tip.
