WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely
serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can also
cause serious injury.
Fluid injected into the skin may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate surgi-
cal treatment.
Do not point the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip.
Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.
Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.
Be sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying.
Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 3 if the spray tip clogs and before cleaning,
checking or servicing the equipment.
Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Do not
repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.
Fluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends, to help protect them from rupture caused by
kinks or bends near the couplings.

when you stop spraying and before
cleaning, checking, servicing, or trans-
porting equipment. Read warnings, page 2.
Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Engage the gun trigger safety.
2. Turn off the power to the pump.
3. Disengage the trigger safety. Hold a metal part of
the gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail,
and trigger the gun to relieve the pressure.
4. Engage the gun trigger safety.
5. Open the pressure drain valve. Leave the valve
open until you are ready to spray again.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely
clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved
after following the steps above, VERY SLOWLY
loosen the tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling
to relieve the pressure gradually, then loosen com-
pletely. Now clear the tip or hose.
Installation
1. Install the adapter on the gun as shown, but do not
install a spray tip yet. Be sure the gaskets are in
place.
2. Flush and prime the spray system.
3. Relieve the pressure.
4. Install the spray tip.
5. Turn the adapter to any desired position within
180. Do not use any tools.

operating and tip cleaning instructions.
7. This adapter is not repairable.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury from fluid
injection or splashing in the eyes or on the skin,
stop using the nozzle immediately if it starts to leak
or cannot be turned easily.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the o–ring in the swivel:
Relieve fluid pressure before rotating the swivel.
Do not soak the entire swivel in solvent.
