Preparation
Note: Proper paint material mixture helps to ensure less problems. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s directions. Most materials will spray readily if they are thinned properly.
General tips for Preparation:
1. Mix and thin the paint/materials thoroughly according to the manufacturer’s directions.
2. Carefully strain the paint/material through a paint strainer or piece of cheese cloth.
3. Swing the Cup Locking Lever (44 or 35a) out of the locked position to remove the Cup
(47 or 34a) from the Unit. Fill the Cup (47 or 34a) to approximately 3/4 full. Place the
Cup (47 or 34a) back on the unit and swing the Cup Locking Lever (44 or 35a) to the
locked position.
4. Start the air compressor.
5. To adjust the spray pattern, set up a piece of scrap material to practice on. While
practicing on the scrap material, check to see that the material you are spraying has
the appropriate consistency. If it appears to thin, add a very small amount of thinner
(not included). BE CAREFUL when thinning. Proceed slowly, adding very minimal
amounts. NEVER exceed the manufacturer’s thinning recommendations.
IMPORTANT: Before using for the first time, the spray gun must be cleaned
using a solvent based thinner. If not removed, the red oil used by the
manufacturer for testing and corrosion protection may contaminate paint.
IMPORTANT: The Spray Gun must be cleaned immediately after use.
Improper cleaning is a common reason for the Spray Gun not to work.
