SPRAY TIP CLEANING DURING USE
1. Place the Spray Control Knob in the re-circulating
position, and then squeeze the spray trigger lever to
release the pressure from the system.
5. Turn the Prime/Spray knob to the spray position and
resume spraying. If the spray gun continues to clog,
check the filter in the gun handle.
2. Turn the spray tip arrow on the spray gun so that the
arrow points toward the gun.
6. Turn the Prime/Spray knob to the prime position. Turn
off the machine. Remove the paint hose from the
spray gun.
3. Turn the spray control knob to the spray position and
trigger the gun. This should clear the gun. Turn the
spray control knob to the prime position and trigger
the gun to release the pressure.
7. Press the trigger lock on the side of the spray gun to
lock the spray trigger. Remove the gun from the gun
mount. Push forward on the spray trigger guard to
release the guard from the front of the gun.
4. Reverse the spray tip so that the spray tip arrow points
toward the ground.
8. You can now unscrew the handle. The filter pulls
straight out of the handle. Only rinse the filter to clean
it. If the filter is still clogged, collapsed or dented,
replace the filter. Reinstall the filter. If there are still
issues, proceed to the cleaning procedure.
