1. Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of objects
with sharp cutting edges.

The paint hose should stien as material begins to ow
through it.

i
If the spray pattern becomes distorted or stops
completely while the gun is triggered, follow these
steps.
Danger
Do not attempt to unclog or clean the tip with your
nger. High pressure uid can cause injection injury.
1. Release the trigger and lock the gun o. Rotate the reversible
tip arrow 180º so that the point of the arrow is toward the rear
of the gun (see gure 15).
i
Under pressure, the spray tip may be very dicult to
turn. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME and
trigger the gun. This will relieve pressure and the tip
will turn more easily.
 2. Turntheprime/sprayknobtospray.
3. Unlock the gun and squeeze the trigger, pointing the gun at
a scrap piece of wood or cardboard. This allows pressure in
thesprayhosetoblowouttheobstruction.Whenthenozzle
is clean, material will come out in a straight, high pressure
stream.
4. Release the trigger and lock the gun o. Reverse the tip so
the arrow points forward again. Unlock the gun and resume
spraying.
