Example of attaching air flow
control valve:
1. Manually attach the air flow control
valve to the air inlet by hand threading
the connection.
2. Use two wrenches to connect the air flow
control valve. Adjust one to fit the air inlet and
adjust the other to fit the air flow control valve
then tighten the connection.
Note: For instructions on attaching the PPS™ Type
H/O Pressure Cup (PN16121 or PN16124), refer to
Instruction Manual included in the cup packaging.
Adjusting the Air Pressure
Adjust the air pressure inlet to 5-15 psi (0.34 -
1.03 BAR) at full trigger. This is a good starting
point for most materials. Adjust as needed for
your material and spraying technique.
Note: When operating this unit, use only undamaged,
suitably solvent-resistant and appropriately
pressure-rated static-conductive air hoses.
Adjusting the Fluid Flow
The fluid flow can be adjusted by using the fluid
needle adjustment knob as noted in Fig. 1. As
a starting point, gently turn the knob clockwise
until you have very little fluid needle travel (pull
trigger to verify). Do not over-tighten. After
the fluid needle travel has stopped, further
tightening will only serve to compress the spring
and will not aid in adjustment. Next turn the
knob counter-clockwise two full turns. These
adjustment procedures will serve only as a
starting point. Fine tuning of these adjustments
will be based on your material and technique.
Note: Prior to painting, users are expected to be
appropriately grounded (by either shoes or heel
straps) and should wear static-dissipative or
static-conductive gloves.

Adjusting the Fan Pattern Size
The fan size is regulated by the fan adjustment
knob as noted in Fig. 2. As a starting point,
gently turn the knob clockwise until you feel
no further adjustment. Next, turn the knob
counter-clockwise one full rotation. The fan
adjustment will allow you to spray from a small
round to a full fan pattern.
