Changing a Tip
Tips can be removed and replaced easily
without disassembling the gun.
Never attempt to change or clean
the tip or tip guard without first
performing the “Pressure Relief
Procedure.”
1. Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure”
described in the sprayer’s Owner’s
Manual.
2. Remove the tip from the slot on the tip
guard.
3. Insert the new tip into the slot on the
tip guard. The arrow on the tip handle
should be pointing in the forward
direction for spraying.
Removing the Seal and Tip seal
1. Remove the tip and tip guard from the
spray gun.
2. Remove the seal and tip seal from the
back of the tip guard.
Identifying Tip Sizes
To identify tip sizes, use the following formula.
A “517” tip size will be used in this example.
The first digit multiplied by two represents the
size of the spray pattern when spraying 12”
away from the work surface:
5 x 2 = 10” spray pattern
The second two digits represent the diameter
of the orifice on the tip:
17 = .017” orifice
i
Worn spray tips will adversely
affect the spray pattern and result
in reduced production, poor finish,
and wasted material. Replace
worn tips immediately.
Cleanup
Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure
trouble-free operation. Flush the gun after
each use and store in a dry location. Do not
leave the gun or any of its parts in water or
solvents.
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.
Attention
The sprayer, hose, and gun should
be cleaned thoroughly after daily
use. Failure to do so permits
material to cake, seriously affecting
the performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure
with the tip and tip guard 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. Hold the gun
firmly against a metal container
while flushing.
