Use the 12 in. wide fan tip for latex paints. This tip sprays in a wide pattern that can be adjusted from horizontal to vertical. To switch tips:  Remove the battery pack from the backpack unit.  Remove the installed tip by turning it counter- clockwise.  Install the desired tip and rotate clockwise to tighten securely. NOTE: The tip should be tightened securely by hand. A too loose or overtightened tip may cause the sprayer to leak or be damaged. To change direction of wide fan tip:  Slightly loosen the wide fan tip by rotating counterclockwise 1/4 turn.  Rotate the adjusting arm 1/4 turn in the direction needed to switch the direction of the tip spray.  While holding the adjusting arm in position, rotate the wide fan tip clockwise until securely tightened. operating the roller See Figures 14 - 15, page 17.  Install the battery pack into the backpack unit.  Connect the paint supply tube to both the backpack unit and the roller handle.  Prime the backpack unit: • Place the motor switch in the forward position. • Aim into a bucket and squeeze the trigger on the roller to release air inside the unit. • Once paint is running through both the intake tube and the return tube, the unit is primed. • Place the motor switch in the off position.  Turn the flow adjustment knob so that it is all the way open.  Place the motor switch in the forward position.  Squeeze the trigger. Once the roller has paint, release the trigger and squeeze again only when more paint is needed. NOTE: Do not continuously squeeze the trigger.
