Operation

Pressure Relief Procedure

1. Turn off all bleed type air valves and all 

other air and fluid supplies to the gun.

2. Trigger the gun into a grounded metal 

waste container to relieve air and fluid pres-
sure.

Apply Fluid

The spray gun has a built-in lead and lag oper-
ation. When triggered, the gun begins emitting 
air before the fluid is discharged. When the 
trigger actuation air is stopped, the fluid stops 
before the air flow stops. This helps ensure 
that the spray is atomized and prevents fluid 
buildup on the air cap and tip.

Adjust the system control device, if it is auto-
matic, so the gun starts spraying just before 
meeting the part and stops as soon as the part 
has passed.

To achieve best results when applying fluid:

Keep gun perpendicular and 6 to 8 in.
(150 to 200 mm) from object being 
sprayed. 

Use smooth, parallel strokes across sur-
face to be sprayed with 50% overlap.
