Cleaning a Clogged Tip

1. Follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" found in the Operation
section of this manual, section 4.6.
2. If the tip clogs, rotate the tip handle 180° until the arrow on
the handle is facing the opposite of the spray direction and
the handle clicks in the reverse position.
3. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the clog
out. NEVER use the tip in the reverse position for more than
ONE trigger pull at a time. This procedure can be repeated
until the tip is free of clogging.
The flow from the spray tip is at very high pressure.
Contact with any body part may be dangerous. Do
not place finger on gun outlet. Do not point the gun
at any person. Never operate the spray gun without
the proper tip guard.

The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned
thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so permits
material to build up, seriously affecting the
performance of the unit.
Attention

nozzle tip 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.

hose length from spray pump.
