Installation

Air Line
1. Install an air filter (A) on the gun air line to ensure a
dry, clean air supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture
can ruin the appearance of your finished workpiece.
See F
IG. 1.
2. Install an air pressure regulator (C) on the gun air
line to control air pressure to the gun.
3. Install an air shutoff valve (B) on the gun air line and
on the pump air line, to shut off air to the gun.
4. Use a 3/16 in. (5 mm) I.D. or larger air hose to mini-
mize excessive pressure drop in the hose.
5. Connect the air hose (G) to the 1/4 npsm gun air
inlet. See F
IG. 2.
6. Connect the other end of the air hose (G) to the out-
let of the air shutoff valve. See F
IG. 3.
Fluid Line
Before connecting the fluid line, blow it out with air
and flush it with solvent. Use solvent which is com-
patible with the fluid to be sprayed.
If better control of fluid pressure is needed, install a
fluid regulator on the fluid line to better control fluid
pressure to the gun.
1. Use a fluid filter to remove coarse particles and sed-
iment, to avoid clogging the spray tip and causing
finishing defects.
2. Connect the fluid hose (F) to the gun fluid inlet. See
F
IG. 4. If desired, install a fluid swivel connector
(115898) at the gun inlet for best maneuverability.
See Accessories, page 33.
3. Connect the other end of the fluid hose (F) to the
pump fluid outlet.
The gun air inlet has a 1/4-18 npsm (R1/4-19) com-
pound male thread that is compatible with NPSM
and BSP female swivel connectors.
