General Set Up and Spray Gun Use
For additional instructions refer to your cup or fluid source manual.
Note: Flush the spray gun before using

not aid in adjustment. Next turn the
knob counter-clockwise two full turns.
These adjustment procedures will serve
only as a starting point. Fine tuning of
these adjustments will be based on your
material and technique.
