Should the spray tip become clogged, reverse the
spray tip with the lever and pull the trigger. Once
the obstruction comes out of the spray tip, release
the trigger, reverse the spray tip back to the spray
pattern setting, and resume spraying.
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.

General Repair and Service Notes

The following tools are needed when repairing this sprayer:
Phillips screwdriver
needle-nose pliers
adjustable wrench
rubber mallet
flat-blade screwdriver
1/2" open-end wrench
1. Before repairing any part of the sprayer, read the
instructions carefully, including all warnings.
IMPORTaNT: Never pull on a wire to disconnect it. Pulling
on a wire could loosen the connector from the wire.
2. Test your repair before regular operation of the sprayer
to be sure that the problem is corrected. If the sprayer
does not operate properly, review the repair procedure to
determine if everything was done correctly. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section to help identify other possible
problems.
3. Make certain that the service area is well ventilated in
case solvents are used during cleaning. Always wear
protective eyewear while servicing. Additional protective

Maintaining the Engine

When transporting a sprayer with a gas engine,
make sure the fuel is shut off.
NOTE: For detailed engine specifications and
maintenance, refer to the separate engine manual
supplied with this sprayer.
Important Facts concerning this Sprayer
This gas-powered sprayer contains a clutch that engages when
the sprayer is pumping. The sprayer's pressure control system
engages and disengages the clutch to control pressure. To
prevent unnecessary wear to the clutch, it is advisable to adjust
the engine speed and pressure setting to limit the amount of
times the clutch engages and disengages. To reduce clutch
wear, refer to the following examples.
Example:
Operating one gun with a .019 tip — reduce the engine speed
by adjusting the throttle to a low or medium setting and increase
pressure only until the heavy ends of the spray pattern have
been eliminated.
Example:
Operating one gun with .029 tip — increase engine speed to a
higher setting and increase pressure until the heavy ends of the
spray pattern have been eliminated.
Example:
Spraying light-bodied materials at low pressure — to reduce
surging at the gun and to decrease clutch wear, reduce the
engine speed to idle and reduce pressure until the desired spray
pattern is achieved.
