Clearing a clogged tip

If the spray pattern becomes distorted or stops completely
while the trigger is pulled, follow these steps.
DO NOT continue to pull the spray lever if the
spray tip is clogged. Continued pull on the
lever with a clogged tip will over-pressurize the
unit, causing it to shut down.
Attention
Do not attempt to remove the spray gun from
the gun holder to clean the tip.
Attention
1. Place a sheet of cardboard or small bucket under the
spray gun to catch the paint.
2. Rotate the tip 180º so that the arrow on the tip handle is
pointing opposite the spray direction.
If the tip is difficult to rotate, relieve pressure
i
by 1) slowly turning the relief valve knob to
k
PRIME ( ), 2) unlock the spray gun, and 3)
squeeze the spray lever. Release the lever, lock
the spray gun, and try rotating the spray tip
again.
3. Make sure the relief valve knob is turned to the SPRAY
p
( ) position. Unlock the spray gun.
4. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the
clog out.
Never pull the trigger more than once at a time
with the tip in the reverse position.
Attention
5. Continue this procedure until the tip is clear of the clog.
Do not attempt to clean the tip with your
finger.
Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed
instrument to clean the tip. The hard tungsten
carbide is brittle and can be chipped.

Changing a spray 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 (fig. 14, item 1) from the slot on the tip
guard (2).
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 from the tip guard.
2. Insert the tip handle through the front of the tip guard.
3. Push the seal (3) and tip seal (4) out through the back of
the tip guard.
Identifying Tip Sizes
To identify tip sizes, use the following formula. A "417" tip size
will be used in this example.
The first digit represents the size of the spray pattern when
spraying 6" away from the work surface:
4 = 4" spray pattern
The second two digits represent the diameter of the orifice on
the tip:
17 = .017" orifice
Worn spray tips will adversely affect the spray
i
pattern and result in reduced production, poor
finish, and wasted material. Replace worn tips
immediately.
