Fan Direction and Pattern Adjustment
Fan Direction
To change the direction of the fan from horizontal to vertical, loosen the Lock Ring and
turn the Air Cap (1) 90 degrees. After the adjustment, tighten the Lock Ring by hand.
See FIGURE 3 below.
Pattern Adjustment
Warning!! Never exceed the Maximum Inlet PSI of 55 PSI.
1. If you need to reduce the air pressure for specific areas, adjust the air compressor.
2. To set the pattern size specific to the job, use the Pattern Control Knob (14) (see
FIGURE 1 on page 6). By turning it counterclockwise (all the way open), the pattern
will flatten. Turn the Pattern Control Knob (14) clockwise for a round pattern.
See FIGURE 4 below.

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

IMPORTANT: The Spray Gun must be cleaned immediately after use.
Improper cleaning is a common reason for the Spray Gun not to work.
