cycles evenly and paint flows freely from the bleed hose.
8. Turn off the sprayer.
a. To turn off the gas engine,
• set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise,
• move the throttle lever to the slow position, and
• turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
b. To turn off the electric motor,
• set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure

Ground the gun by holding it
against the edge of the metal
container while flushing. Failure
to do so may lead to a static
electric discharge, which may
cause a fire.
14. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until all air
and solvent is flushed from the spray hose and paint is
flowing freely. from the gun.
15. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger
lock to the locked position.
16. Turn off the sprayer.
17. Attach tip guard and tip to the gun as
instructed by the tip guard or tip manuals.

knob slowly clockwise and test the spray pattern on a
piece of cardboard. Adjust the pressure control knob until
the spray from the gun is completely atomized.
NOTE: Turning the pressure up higher then needed to
atomize the paint will cause premature tip wear
and additional overspray.

Pressure Relief Procedure
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure
when shutting the sprayer down for any purpose,
including servicing or adjusting any part of the
spray system, changing or cleaning spray tips, or
preparing for cleanup.
1. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger
lock to the locked position.
2. Turn off the sprayer.
a. To turn off the gas engine,
• set the pressure to minimum by
turning the pressure control knob
fully counterclockwise,
• move the throttle lever to the slow
position, and
• turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
b. To turn off the electric motor,
• set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise,
• move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
3. Close the hydraulic shut-off valve on the hydraulic
pressure hose.
4. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
5. Hold the metal part of the gun firmly to
the side of a metal waste container to
ground the gun and avoid a build up of
static electricity.
6. Trigger the gun to remove any pressure
that may still be in the hose.
7. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
8. Place the bleed hose into the metal waste container.
9. Open the bleed valve by rotating the bleed valve handle
fully counterclockwise.
Cleanup
Special cleanup instructions for use with
flammable solvents:
•
Always flush spray gun preferably outside
and at least one hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
IMPORTANT: The sprayer, hose, and gun should be
cleaned thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so
permits material to build up, seriously affecting the
performance of the sprayer.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun
nozzle tip removed when using mineral spirits or
any other solvent to clean the sprayer, hose, or
gun. Static electricity buildup may result in a fire
or explosion in the presence of flammable vapors.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
2. Remove the gun tip and tip guard and clean with a brush
using the appropriate solvent.
