stroke when gun trigger is
released.

valves for wear or obstructions. See 20.
3. Filter clogged (If optional filter is
installed).
3. Relieve pressure. Check and clean filter.
4. Material hose length. Longer
hose length reduces sprayer per-
formance.

fied maximum.

pump hopper adapter if cracked or punc-

Meter must read:
210-255 Vac for 220-240 Vac
