Never mount oil and water extractor on or near the air compressor.

During compression, air temperature is greatly increased. As the air cools down to room temperature, moisture 
condenses in the air line, on its way to the spray gun. Therefore, always mount the oil and water extractor at a point in the air sup-
ply system where the compressed air temperature is lowest. 

Drain air lines properly.

Pitch all air lines back towards the compressor so that condensed moisture will flow back into the air receiver where 
it can be drained off. Each low point in an air line acts as a water trap. Such points should be fitted with an easily 
accessible drain. See diagram above.

TYPES OF INSTALLATION

This spray gun is rugged in construction, and is built to yield exceptional value. The life of this product and the efficien-
cy of its operation depend upon a knowledge of its construction, use and maintenance.

SIPHON FEED CUP HOOKUP

Air pressure for atomization is regulated at 
extractor. Amount of fluid is adjusted by fluid con-
trol screw on gun, viscosity of paint, and 
air pressure.

PRESSURE FEED CUP HOOKUP

For fine finishing with limited spraying.
Air pressure for atomization is regulated at 
extractor; fluid pressure at cup regulator. For heavy
fluids and internal mix nozzle spraying, fluid
adjusted by control screw on gun.
