Setup

1. Attaching the Fluid Cup

The Graco Edge II Plus gun is designed for use with a 32 oz. Flexliner cup, which is included. Ensure the cup is securely attached to the gun's fluid inlet. The Quick Release Fluid Set allows for easy attachment and detachment.

2. Air Supply Connection

Connect your air supply hose to the gun's air inlet. The gun is air-powered and requires a suitable air compressor. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent air leaks.

3. Alternative Fluid Supply

The gun includes different fittings to accommodate various fluid supply options. If using a turbine cup or a pressure cup system, remove the standard fitting and install the appropriate fitting provided with the gun. Refer to the specific instructions for your alternative fluid supply system for proper connection.

Operating Instructions

1. Fluid Level Adjustment

The Edge II Plus gun features a dial for precise fluid level adjustment. Rotate the dial located near the trigger to control the amount of fluid being sprayed. Start with a lower setting and gradually increase until the desired flow is achieved.

2. Fan Pattern Adjustment

Adjust the spray fan pattern by rotating the air cap at the front of the gun. This allows you to switch between horizontal, vertical, and circular spray patterns to suit your application needs. Experiment with different settings on a test surface to find the optimal pattern.

3. Trigger Operation

Depress the trigger to begin spraying. Release the trigger to stop. Maintain a consistent distance and speed from the surface for an even finish.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and performance of your spray gun.

1. Cleaning After Use

After each use, thoroughly clean the gun. Disassemble the fluid cup and air cap. Flush the gun with an appropriate cleaning solution (water for latex paints, solvent for oil-based paints) until all paint residue is removed. Clean the fluid passages, air cap, and fluid tip.

2. Needle and Fluid Set Replacement

The Edge II Plus gun is designed for quick and easy needle and fluid set replacement. To replace, twist off the front section of the gun, push the release mechanism, and pull out the needle. Insert the new needle and reassemble. This process typically takes less than a minute.

3. Storage

Store the clean and dry spray gun in a safe place, protected from dust and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Graco Edge II Plus spray gun, consider the following common solutions:

• Poor Spray Pattern: Check for clogs in the fluid tip or air cap. Ensure the air cap is correctly aligned and tightened. Adjust fluid and air pressure settings.
• No Fluid Flow: Verify the fluid cup contains material and is properly sealed. Check for blockages in the fluid line or tip. Ensure the needle is not stuck.
• Leaking: Inspect all connections for tightness. Check seals and O-rings for damage or wear.
• Inconsistent Pressure: Ensure your air compressor is providing a consistent air supply at the recommended pressure.

For persistent issues, contact Graco customer support or a qualified service technician.
