The Easy Way to Adjust Your Spray Gun for Optimum Results
There is no magic number of “turns” rotations, or descriptions like: “¾ turn, half way, 4 times” to
adjust your spray gun for optimal use. Every gun differs, and solution thickness will always vary
from day to day. Your goal is always a specific spray pattern width. This will only change
slightly based on the viscosity (thickness) of your tanning solution, but you should never change
the desired spray pattern width output from the spray gun.
The proper way to use a MaxiMist spray gun is 4 inches away from the skin surface, with a 4-inch-
wide/long spray pattern (at its longest point). This will give you the optimum application, while
using the least amount of product (2-2.5oz per application, in two separate, back to back, coats of
1 oz. ea.) This will produce very little overspray, when the spray gun is used properly, with correct
application technique.
The easiest way to achieve this is:
•Hang an unneeded white cotton bath towel over a chair, cabinet or pin it to a wall. We
suggest you use this, as it will give you the best visual you will be looking for. (solution may
stain towel)
•Place a few ounces of tanning solution into your cup. (3-4 oz.)
•Adjust your spray gun to the closed position by turning the flow control knob, (located on
the back of the gun or the trigger) so when the trigger is pulled, no solution sprays out; we
call this “at zero”. No matter which pattern selection you use (horizontal or vertical), you will
always hold the spray gun 4 inches away from the towel.
•Attach the spray gun to your machine and turn it on
•Slowly begin to adjust your gun (using the flow control knob to open or release the solution
flow) so it begins to spray solution as you point it at the towel while pulling the trigger. Pull
the trigger quickly and let go. DO NOT MOVE YOU’RE HAND, JUST POINT AND PULL
THE TRIGGER IN SHORT QUICK BURSTS IN ONE AREA.
•You will then see a line start to develop on the towel. The line direction will depend on the
direction you have your air cap set (this is on the front of your spray gun)
•It will either be a vertical or horizontal slightly elliptical line depending on your spray pattern
preference. (see below image)

•Your goal is to achieve a 4-inch-wide/long “line” on its longest length while holding the
spray gun 4 inches away from the towel. Continue to open/adjust the spray gun via its flow
adjustment knob until you have a 4-inch-wide line.
•Once you achieve a 4-inch-wide line make a long flowing pass on the towel while holding
trigger in moving the spray gun as you would normally do during your application process.
You should see a nice smooth, consistent 4-inch-wide spray pattern.
Holding the spray gun the proper distance away from the skin surface is crucial to correct
performance. You can change distance from the surface by a few inches maximum before you
begin to see the spray application result from the gun suffer. Example: A Gun correctly set at a 4-
inch-wide spray pattern would have a maximum distance from the skin surface of about 6 inches.
Held back farther from the surface will increase overspray, product in the air, and lessen solution
coverage on the skin.
Trouble Shooting Issues:
•Solution seems to spit, sputter, or will not spray out evenly from the gun. Fix: flow
knob setting is too low for the solution thickness. It is “closed” to much. It is set to close to
the zero setting, please turn the knob opposite from the zero point to allow more solution
flow to spray through the gun.
•Too Much overspray and fogging. Fix: flow control setting is open to wide, or to open. Or
the Gun tip is too far from the skin surface. It should be a 4 by 4 pattern per above
directions.
•Solution is running and dripping down the skin: Fix: Flow control knob may be open to
wide, please set/test with a towel 4 by 4 per above. You also may be spraying to slowly in
overall arm movement, and over saturating the skin. Apply two thin coats of one oz. each.

Do not spray back and forth over a wet area. Move quickly. It should take about 5-7 minutes
to apply two full body coats back to back of 1 oz each.
Set nozzle cap by unscrewing the nozzle bezel. Turn the nozzle cap to
correct position and tighten the bezel to hold the nozzle cap in place. Set the
nozzle cap in vertical position for up and down spraying and horizontal
position for left and right spraying.
Adjust solution dial at the back of the applicator, below the hose connector, to
choose the amount/flow of solution you would like to spray. Start with a small
amount of spray and increase by winding out the dial until the desired result
reached.
Attach hose. Pull back the quick connector on the hose and insert the hose
connector (at the back of the gun). Release the quick connector fitting and
check the hose is firmly connected.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE GUIDE
1.After tanning, please clean the solution cup, the tube and nozzle at once. Spray water or
alcohol to clean the inside parts of thegun.
2.Clean the filter aftertanning.
3.Do not keep the blower working continuously for more than 30min. For long time using,
please switch it off every 30min.
4. Do not spill any liquid on theblower.
