Operating Instructions

The PRO-44 spray gun is designed for optimal performance with various coatings. Proper adjustment is key to achieving desired results.

Fluid Tip Selection:

• 1.3 mm and 1.4 mm: Ideal for base coats, clear coats, single stage paints, primer sealers, and other light to medium viscosity paint coating materials.
• 1.5 mm and 1.8 mm: Better suited for single stage topcoats, primers, 2K primers surfacers, and other medium to high viscosity paint coating materials.

Adjusting Controls:

• Airflow Control Knob: Adjusts the amount of air passing through the gun, influencing atomization and fan pattern.
• Fluid Control Knob: Controls the amount of paint flowing through the fluid nozzle.
• Air Control Cheater Knob: Provides fine-tuning of air pressure at the gun.
• Air Pressure Regulator: Use the included regulator to set the incoming air pressure from your compressor to the recommended PSI for your specific coating.

Spraying Technique:

Maintain a consistent distance and angle from the surface. Overlap each pass by approximately 50% to ensure even coverage. Practice on scrap material to fine-tune settings before applying to your final project.

Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for extending the life and performance of your spray gun.

Cleaning:

1. Immediately after each use, empty any remaining paint from the cup.
2. Pour a small amount of appropriate cleaning solution (e.g., paint thinner for solvent-based paints, water for waterborne paints) into the cup.
3. Spray the cleaning solution through the gun until it runs clear.
4. Disassemble the air cap, fluid nozzle, and needle. Clean these components thoroughly with the provided cleaning brush and appropriate cleaning solution.
5. Wipe down the gun body. Ensure all paint residue is removed from internal and external surfaces.

Lubrication:

Apply a small amount of spray gun lubricant (sold separately) to the needle packing and air valve stem periodically to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.
