Flat or Corner Spray Nozzle: Unscrew the nozzle nut (1) and remove
it along with the nozzle (2) from the spray gun.
Conical Nozzle: Unscrew the deflector cap (1), then remove the
deflector (2). Unscrew the nozzle nut (5) and remove it along with the

3. Pull the electrode support out of the spray gun.
4. Pull the powder hose adapter out of the spray gun. Place the end of the

Make sure the system is securely connected to a true earth ground before
spraying powder.

do not fall within the specified ranges.
Check the system air filter. Drain the filter and change the filter element as
needed. Refer to Parts for the replacement element part number.
