Proper Operation of the Spray Gun

Cone and Stream spray pattern instructions

1.Pull the choke back. Squeeze thetrigger to begin spraying.

2.The spray pattern is determined by how far the trigger is pulled back. The spray begins at a wide cone and progressively becomes a straight stream when the trigger is pulled all the way back.

3.Once the desired spray pattern is achieved, press the trigger lock to hold the position of thetrigger. To release thetrigger lock, pull the trigger back until the lock disengages.

4.When the gun is not in use, activate the safety lock by releasing the trigger and pressing the safety lock pin. This will lock thetrigger in the off position to prevent accidental spraying.

Note: Operating pressure of the pump will vary depending on the orifice size used. 110 psi is achieved with the small orifice. The medium and large orifices achieve 50 and 2 psi, respectively. (Additional orifices are located under the yellow plug on the top of the gun.)

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS hold the spray gun with a firm grip when spraying at higher pressures in order to prevent gun from whipping. Keep good footing and balance at alltimes.

Note: It is not unusual for the operator to be exposed to chemical drips while adjusting the spray pattern – gloves should be chemical resistant.
