IMPORTANT: The suction hose must remain
completely submerged in the material. If it is not
completely submerged and air is sucked into the
system, the piston could seize.
If the piston seizes, the sound the gun makes will
change to a low hum and the gun will quickly
become hot to the touch. Never run the sprayer
when the piston is seized.
Should this happen, clean the piston and the pump
housing thoroughly using the cleanup procedures
found in this manual.

Spraying Technique
Adjusting the spray tip assembly:
The adjustable spray tip assembly produces
a pattern that can be adjusted horizontally
or vertically. Rotate the spray adjustment
guard (b) as shown.
To prevent an injection hazard,
make sure the sprayer is
unplugged before you adjust the
spray tip. Make sure the spray
tip nut (a) is suciently hand
tightened prior to spraying.

9. IMPORTANT: Make sure to completely remove all
material from the inside of the piston chamber by
scrubbing with the brush. Even a small amount of
material can dry like glue and keep the piston from
moving, causing damage to the sprayer.
10. IMPORTANT: Make sure to keep the vent hole (a) on
the pump housing clean and unblocked or a vacuum
can build up in the container and cause damage to the
sprayer. A toothpick or straightened paper clip can
be used to clean it.

Replacement Parts
Notice:
Parts of your sprayer wear out with use and require regular replacement.
They include the atomizer valve, piston and spring. These parts are not
covered by your sprayer warranty.
More abrasive materials such as latex paints and stains cause these parts
to wear out faster than less abrasive materials such as oil-based paints
and stains, thin stains and sealers.
Atomizer valve:
