6. Stop triggering gun.
7. Set sprayer toggle switch to AA (Air Assisted) spraying.
8. Trigger gun. While spraying increase gun air pressure
regulator until tails disappear.

2. Prime pump following priming instructions provided in
sprayer operation manual 311905.

4. Spray a test pattern. Gradually increase sprayer pressure
until you achieve a consistent spray pattern, without
heavy edges. Use a smaller tip if pressure adjustment
alone does not eliminate edges.
Note: If you are getting an irregular spray
pattern, clean air holes with solvent and
a soft brush or toothpick. Do not use
metal tools to clean the air cap holes as
this may scratch them. Scratches can
distort the spray pattern.
Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance on gun, read all warnings

Daily Maintenance
Flush gun after each work shift and store in a dry location.
Do not immerse the gun or any parts in water or cleaning
solvents.

• Do not wipe gun with cloth soaked in solvent; wring out
excess.
• Solvent left in gun air passages could result in a poor
quality paint finish. Do not use any cleaning method that
may allow solvent into gun air passages.
Flushing and Cleaning
• Flush gun before changing colors, before storing and before
repairing gun.
• Flush at lowest possible pressure. Check connectors for
leaks and tighten as necessary.
• Flush with fluid that is compatible with fluid being dispensed
and equipment’s wetted parts.
