Spraying Troubleshooting -

English
Do not attempt to unclog or clean the tip with
your finger.
NOTE - Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed
instrument to clean the tip. The hard tungsten
carbide can chip.
If the spray pattern becomes distorted or stops completely
while the gun is triggered, follow these steps.
1. Release the trigger and lock
the gun off (see page 5).
Rotate the reversible tip
arrow 180º so that the point
of the arrow is toward the
rear of the gun (CLEAN
position).
Under pressure, the spray tip may be very difficult 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.
If material still will not spray from the spray tip, follow the
steps in the next column.
4. Release the trigger and lock
the gun off (see page 5).
Reverse the tip so the arrow
points forward again (SPRAY
position). Unlock the gun
and resume spraying.
Unclogging the Spray Tip Cleaning the Spray Gun Filter
The filter must be cleaned every time you use your sprayer.
When using thicker spray materials, the filter might need to
be cleaned more often.
1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 5.
2. Unclip the trigger guard from the filter housing by pulling
outward from the filter housing. Unscrew the filter housing.
3. Remove the filter from the spray gun housing and clean
with the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water
for latex paints, mineral spirits for oil-based materials).
4. Inspect the filter for holes (see inset). Replace if holes are
found.
NOTE - NEVER POKE THE FILTER WITH A SHARP
INSTRUMENT!
5. Replace the cleaned filter, tapered end first, into the gun
housing.
The tapered end of the filter must be loaded
properly into the gun. Improper assembly will result in
a plugged tip or no flow from the gun.
6. Reassemble the spray gun.

Unclogging the Inlet Filter
1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 5.
2. Empty the hopper of all spraying material (see
Emptying
the Hopper, page 5).
3. Remove the inlet filter
(a)
from the hopper. You may
need to use a screwdriver
to pry the filter loose.
4. Clean the inlet filter using
the appropriate cleaning
solution (warm, soapy water
with latex paints, mineral
spirits with oil-based paints
or stains).
5. Replace filter.
If after having completed all of the steps on this page you
are still experiencing problems spraying, refer to the
Troubleshooting page (page 12).
Follow these steps if your spray pattern
becomes distored or stops completely.
