2. Remove the seal and tip seal from the back of the tip guard(8 )
Identifying Tip Sizes
To identify tip sizes, use the following formula. A "517" tip size will be used
in this example.
The first digit multiplied by two represents the size of the spray pattern
when spraying 12"(30cm) away from the work surface: 5 x 2= 10" spray
pattern. The second two digits represent the diameter of the orifice on the
tip: 17 = .017"(0.43mm) orifice.
NOTE: Worn spray tips will adversely affect the spray pattern and
result in reduced production, poor finish, and wasted material.
Replace worn tips immediately.
Cleanup
Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure trouble-free operation.
Flush the gun after each use and store in a dry location. Do not leave the
gun or any of its parts in water or solvents.
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable solvents:
Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one hose
length from spray pump.
lf collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal container, place it
into an empty five gallon container, then flush solvents.
Area must be free of flammable vapors
Follow all cleanup instructions.
Important: The sprayer, hose, and gun should be
cleaned thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so
permits material to cake, seriously affecting the
performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the tip and tip guard
removed when using mineral spirits or any other solvent to clean the
