Spraying Troubleshooting - Unclogging the Spray Tip
Do not attempt to unclog or clean the tip with your finger.
WARNING
NOTE - Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed instrument to clean the tip. The hard tungsten carbide can chip.
If the spray pattern becomes distorted or stops completely while the gun is triggered, follow these steps.
1. Release the trigger and lock the gun off (see page 7).
Rotate the reversible tip arrow 180º so that the point of
the arrow is toward the rear of the gun (CLEAN position).
Under pressure, the spray tip may be very difficult to
turn. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME and
trigger the gun. This will relieve pressure and the tip
will turn more easily.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to SPRAY.
3. Unlock the gun and squeeze the trigger, pointing the gun
at a scrap piece of wood or cardboard. This allows
pressure in the spray hose to blow out the obstruction.
When the nozzle is clean, material will come out in a
straight, high pressure stream.
If material still will not spray from the spray tip, follow
the Cleaning the spray gun filter instructions, page 12.
4. Release the trigger and lock the gun off (see page 7).
Reverse the tip so the arrow points forward again (SPRAY
position). Unlock the gun and resume spraying.
