Common Procedures

3A2853C 9

Reversible Spray Tip

In the event that particles or debris clog the spray tip,

this sprayer is designed with a reversible spray tip that

can be used to quickly and easily clear the particles and

resume spraying as quickly as possible.

• Always point the reversible spray tip

forward when spraying.

• When particles or debris get caught in the tip, it can

be reversed to quickly clean the tip.

•SeeUnclogging Spray/Tip Guard Assembly

(page 14) for detailed instructions.

Pressure Control Knob

• To reduce overspray, always spray at lowest pres

sure that results in an acceptable spray pattern.

• Spray test pattern and adjust pressure to get

desired coverage.

• With some materials, if pressure is set too low, no

material may spray out. Turn pressure control knob

up.

• Thin materials sprayed at high pressure settings

may cause the sprayer to enter an operational mode

designed to protect it from overheating. This mode

is noticeable by the sprayer sounding like it is slow

ing down and will result in a poor spray pattern.

To exit this mode, turn pressure control knob

down to lowest pressure setting that results in

an acceptable spray pattern.

• If spraying in low pressure range, there may not be

enough pressure to clear the plug. Turn pressure

control knob up to clear the plug.

Flexible Suction Tube

This sprayer comes with a flexible suction tube for

multi-directional spraying without adjustment.

To ensure proper function of flexible suction tube, orient

as shown. Make sure tab from sprayer is aligned with

groove from flexible suction tube and firmly push into

place.

NOTE: If the sprayer is angled or tilted too far, the flexi

ble suction tube will lose contact with the material and

the sprayer will stop spraying.

Always perform Pressure Relief Procedure before

adjusting spray tip position.

Sprayer Setup

This sprayer arrives from the factory with a small

amount of test material in the system. It is important

that you flush this material from the sprayer before

using it for the first time:

1. Fill material cup with water or compatible solvent,

thread onto sprayer and hand tighten.

2. Put prime/spray valve to UP position, then hold trig

ger in for 10 seconds.

3. Put prime/spray valve DOWN to spray position.

4. Reverse Spray Tip to UNCLOG position and trigger

sprayer into a waste area for 10 seconds.

5. Engage trigger lock and put prime/spray valve UP to

release pressure.

6. Unscrew and remove material cup.

7. Disengage trigger lock, hold sprayer slightly above

Use only water-based materials. Do not use materi

als which state “FLAMMABLE” on the packaging. For

more information about your material, request SDS

from distributor or retailer.

Spraying certain materials may cause static

build-up in the sprayer that can result in static

shock to the user. If this occurs, first ensure the mate

rial is water-based and does not state that it is FLAM

MABLE anywhere on the package. If still feeling a

static shock, the material likely contains a flammable

solvent such as, but not limited to, xylene, toluene, or

naphtha, which can build up static. Switch to an alter

native material.

Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply

of fresh air moving through the area.

Choosing the Correct Tip

12 3A2853C

Choosing the Correct Tip

Understanding Tip Number

The last three digits of tip number (i.e.: XXX517) con

tains information about hole size and fan width on sur

face when gun is held 12 in. (30.5 cm) from surface

being sprayed.

Example: For a 10-12 in. (254-305 mm) fan width and a

0.017 in (0.43 mm) hole size, order part number

PST517, depending on your sprayer model number.

Selecting Tip Hole Size

• Tips come in a variety of hole sizes for spraying a

range of fluids. The sprayer includes a 0.017 in.

(0.43 mm) tip for use in most spraying applications.

Use the table below to determine the range of rec

ommended tip hole sizes for each fluid type.

• Consider coating and surface to be sprayed. Make

sure to use the best tip hole size for the coating and

best fan width for that surface.

• Tip hole size controls flow rate - the amount of paint

that comes out of the gun.

HINTS:

• As you spray, the tip wears and enlarges. Starting

with a tip hole size smaller than the maximum will

allow you to spray within the rated flow capacity of

the sprayer.

• Tips wear with use and abrasive paint and need

periodic replacement.

• Do not spray with worn spray tips. Poor spray

pattern quality will result.

Choosing Pressure Control Knob Setting

Recommendations of a starting point for determining the best set point for your sprayer and particular coating are

shown in the table below.

Install Spray Tip/Guard

Assembly (if not installed)

1. Engage trigger lock and put prime/spray valve UP to

release pressure.

2. Install filter to spray/tip guard assembly.

NOTE: Spray tip filter is reverse-threaded. Turn left

(or counter-clockwise) to install. Turn right (or clock

wise) to remove.

3. Screw spray/tip guard assembly onto sprayer. Tighten

retaining nut until completely engaged with sprayer. Do

not over tighten nut.

Getting Started with Basic

Techniques

Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice these basic

spraying techniques before you begin spraying the surface.

• Hold sprayer 10 in. (25 cm) from surface and aim

straight at surface. Tilting sprayer to direct spray angle

causes an uneven finish.

• Flex wrist to keep sprayer pointed straight. Fanning

sprayer to direct spray at angle causes uneven

finish.

NOTE: How fast you move the sprayer will affect spray

application. If material is pulsating, you are moving too fast.

If material drips, you are moving too slow. See Trouble

shooting, page 25.

Triggering Sprayer

Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release trigger before end

of stroke. Sprayer must be moving when trigger is pulled

and released.

This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is

manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from

pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing fluid

and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief

Procedure when you stop spraying and before

cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.

NOTICE

Make sure spray tip filter is completely screwed into the

Getting Started with Basic Techniques

14 3A2853C

Aiming Sprayer

Aim sprayer at bottom edge of previous stroke, overlapping

each stroke by half.

Spray Pattern Quality

A good spray pattern is evenly distributed as it hits the sur

face. Adjust pressure control knob so pressure is just high

enough to spray without “tails”. If tails persist at highest

pressure setting, a smaller tip is needed to spray the mate

rial or material may need to be thinned.

Unclogging Spray Tip/Guard

Assembly

1. To unclog spray tip clog, engage trigger lock and put

prime/spray valve UP to release pressure.

2. Reverse spray tip to UNCLOG position. Turn pressure

control knob to maximum pressure setting.

3. Aim sprayer at waste area, disengage trigger lock, and

put prime/spray valve DOWN to spray position. Pull

trigger to clear clog.

4. Engage trigger lock. Put prime/spray valve UP to

release pressure and rotate spray tip back to SPRAY

position.

5. Disengage trigger lock, put prime/spray valve DOWN

to spray position, and resume spraying.

6. If spray tip is still clogged, you may have to repeat

steps 1 - 5 and rotate the spray tip from SPRAY to

UNCLOG several times. Repeat step 1 to release

pressure, remove and clean spray tip filter, or replace

with new spray tip/guard assembly.

NOTE: Spray tip filter assembly is reverse-threaded:

Turn left (or counter-clockwise) to install.

Turn right (or clockwise) to remove.

7. When obstruction is cleared, engage trigger lock and

rotate spray tip back to SPRAY position.

Do not operate or spray near children. Do not aim the

sprayer at, or spray any person or animal. Keep hands

and other body parts away from discharge. For

example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the

body.

Shutdown and Cleaning

Flushing Sprayer

1. Engage trigger lock and pull prime/spray valve UP to

release pressure.

2. Remove material cup and return excess material to

proper container. If used, properly dispose the material

cup liner.

3. Remove flexible suction tube as shown below.

4. Use screwdriver to pry suction tube strainer from flexi

ble suction tube.

5. Clean flexible suction tube and suction tube strainer

with water (or flushing fluid) and a brush every time

you flush the sprayer. Reconnect flexible suction tube

and suction tube strainer and orient as shown.

6. Clean material cup if not using a liner, and fill with

water or appropriate flushing fluid.

7. Reconnect material cup and shake sprayer to move

clean water around and clean all areas inside of mate

rial cup.

NOTICE

Failure to properly clean sprayer after each use will

result in hardened materials, damage to the sprayer,and

the warranty will no longer be valid.

Use only water-based materials. Do not use materials

which state “FLAMMABLE” on the packaging. For more

information about your material, request SDS from distrib

utor or retailer.

Spraying certain materials may cause static build-up

in the sprayer that can result in static shock to the

user. If this occurs, first ensure the material is

water-based and does not state that it is FLAMMABLE

anywhere on the package. If still feeling a static shock,

the material likely contains a flammable solvent such as,

but not limited to, xylene, toluene, or naphtha, which can

build up static. Switch to an alternative material.

Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of

fresh air moving through the area.

NOTICE

Protect the internal parts of this sprayer from water.

Do not submerge the sprayer in cleaning fluid. Openings

in shroud allow cooling of mechanical parts and electron

ics inside. If water or cleaning fluid gets into these open

ings, the sprayer could malfunction or become

permanently damaged.

11. Put prime/spray valve DOWN to spray position. Trigger

sprayer into waste area until no paint appears in water

or flushing fluid.

12. Engage trigger lock and put prime/spray valve UP to

release pressure.

NOTE: Air vent holes or the air vent valve (as your

model is equipped) allow air to flow into the material

cup while spraying to prevent loss of fluid flow.

13. Remove material cup and discard used fluid. Remove

air vent valve, clean, and reinstall.

14. Remove spray/tip guard assembly and clean with

water or flushing fluid. A soft brush can be used to

loosen and remove dried material if needed.

To avoid serious injury or damage to equipment, do not

expose the sprayer electronics to flushing materials. Keep

sprayer at least 10 in. (25 cm) above the rim of the con

tainer when flushing.

Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of

fresh air moving through the area.
