English

6. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the hose.

When paint reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to

check the spray pattern.

Use the lowest pressure setting necessary to get a good

spray pattern. If the pressure is set too high, the spray

pattern will be too light. If the pressure is set too low,

tailing will appear or the paint will spatter out in gobs

rather than in a fine spray.

If the Spray Tip Becomes Clogged

The spray gun is equipped with a reversible tip which allows

you to blow out any particles of old paint or other contaminants

that may obstruct the paint flow through the tip. If the spray

pattern becomes distorted or stops completely while the gun is

triggered on, follow these steps:

1. Release the trigger and lock the gun by turning the gun

trigger lock so that it is parallel to the gun body.

2. Rotate the reversible tip cylinder arrow 180° so that the

point of the arrow is toward the rear of the gun.

3. Unlock the trigger and squeeze it open, pointing the gun

at a scrap piece of wood or cardboard. This allows

pressure in the paint hose to blow out the obstruction.

When the nozzle is clean, paint will come out in a straight,

high pressure stream.

4. Release the trigger and re-lock it.

5. Reverse the tip so the arrow points forward again.

Unlock the trigger and resume spraying.

Cleaning the Spray Gun Filter

The spray gun includes a filter to catch particles before they

reach the spray tip. If this filter becomes clogged or

obstructed it will reduce the flow of paint, changing the spray

pattern and possibly damaging the filter

This filter must be cleaned daily

. If the material being used is

old or contains hardened particles, then the filter should be

cleaned approximately every 4 hours.

If the filter is not cleaned at the

proper time, it will plug from the top

down. When there is about 1 inch

of filter that isn't plugged, the heavy

flow of paint will blow pin holes in

the filter

. Holes in the filter will

allow unwanted particles to get into

the spray tip, causing the spray tip

to clog.

Cleaning Filter During Painting Process

Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure when

shutting the unit down for any purpose, including

servicing or adjusting any part of the spray system,

changing or cleaning spray tips, or preparing for cleanup.

This filter must be cleaned every time

you use your sprayer.

When using thicker paints, the filter

might need to be cleaned more often.

Pressure Relief

Procedure (page 5).

2a.

If you have a model GX-07 spray

gun

, unscrew the fitting from the

bottom of the spray gun using an

adjustable wrench, making sure not to lose the spring.

2b.

If you have a model GX-08 spray gun, unclip the trigger

guard from the filter housing by pulling outward from the

filter housing. Unscrew the housing.

3. Remove the filter from the spray gun housing and clean

with the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water

for latex paints, mineral spirits for oil-based materials).

4. Inspect the filter for holes (see Hole picture, above).

Replace if holes are found.

NEVER POKE THE FILTER WITH A SHARP INSTRUMENT!

5. Replace the cleaned filter, tapered end first, into the gun

housing.

6a.

For the GX-06/07, replace the spring and the fitting.

Tighten with an adjustable wrench.

6b.

For the GX-08/10, replace the housing and snap the

trigger guard back into the housing.

Cleaning the Suction Set Screen

The screen at the bottom of the suction

set may also need cleaning. Check it

every time you change paint buckets.

Remove the screen by pulling it out of the

retainer with a plier

. Clean the screen with

water or solvent and a soft-bristle brush.

NOTE: The tapered end of the filter must be loaded

properly into the gun. Improper assembly will

result in a plugged tip or no flow from the gun.
