Spray
Gun
For best service, you should incorporate an air dryer, a regulator, and an inline air filter, as
shown above. We recommend an air dryer to send moisture-free air to the Spray Gun. All are
available at Harbor Freight Tools.
1/4” NPS (Male)
1. You will need to prepare a 1/4” air connector (sold separately) to connect to the Air
Inlet (#13). First, wrap the 1/4” air connector (not included) with pipe thread seal tape before
connecting to a Air Source Hose (not included).
2. Attach air hose to the Air Inlet (#13) on the Spray Gun.
3. Set the air pressure on your compressor to 50-70 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended air
pressure of 70 PSI.
4. Check the air connection for leaks.
5. Turn off the compressor and disconnect the air source hose in preparation to load material.
Note: It is recommended that you test the Spray Gun on scrap material, to become familiar
with the available adjustments, prior to use.
1. Remove the Cup (#17) by loosening the Clamp (#18). Place the flat end of the cup down on
a flat surface. Using a funnel (not included) add no more than 1.45 Gallons of material through
the small opening of the Cup (#17). Insert the opening on the top of the Body (#3) down into
the open end of the Cup. Secure the Body (#3) and Cup (#17) together using Clamp (#18).
2. Connect the air hose to the Air Inlet (#13) and set the pressure to 50-70 PSI. Do not exceed
70 PSI.
3. Squeeze the Trigger (#14) to test the pattern.
4. Spray from a distance of approximately four to eight inches while keeping the Spray Gun
perpendicular to the ground.
5. Maintain your distance as you evenly move from side to side. Do not fan or arc the Spray
Gun or the paint will apply unevenly.
6. When you finish spraying, release the Trigger (#14), and disconnect the air hose.
7. Empty the Cup (#17). Never store the Cup (#17) with paint in it.
Warning! Even after the compressor is shut down, the Cup (#17) may still be pressurized.
Open it slowly and carefully.
