ZIP TIP INFORMATION
FEATURES:
Fast Tip Size Changes - no tools required.
Long Seal Life - withstands harsh solvents - won't swell
or leak - replaces in minutes.
Tip Rotates Easily - even under “high pressure” clog-up.
Venturi-Guard - less paint accumulation - helps protect
against accidental injection and prevents tip from slipping
out of position.
Patented Diffuser - safer unclogging in clean-out posi-
tion.
TO OPERATE:
When tip clogs, turn zip-tip handle 180˚ to "cleanout
position". Trigger gun and line pressure will purge clog.
DO NOT spray or empty the hose in "clean out"
position, this will cause extreme wear and premature
failure. Always remove the tip when cleaning out the
hose.
TO CLEAN PLUGGED TIP:
1) Rotate the tip to the “Clean” position.
2) Pull trigger and spray. This should clear the tip of any
blockage.
3) Rotate the tip back to the “Spray” position and con-
tinue spraying.
4) If the clogging continues, clean or replace the gun
filter and see the section in this manual on instruc-
tions for straining and thinning paint.
