It is important to clean your spray gun daily. If spraying many sessions throughout the day, save the final cleaning for end of day.

If gun will be set aside for a few hours between clients, spray some water through the gun to rinse, before parking between sessions.

If spraying many clients back to back, no need to rinse between each session.

Daily Cleaning:

At the end of the day or when the equipment will not be used any more, disconnect the spray gun from the air hose.

Carefully unscrew the cup. If there is remaining solution, either close the cup with a cup
lid, or pour the remaining solution into a proper storage container with an airtight seal.

Rinse the cup under warm running water until clean.

Fill the cup to 50ml (1-2 ounces) with water or gun cleaner. Reconnect spray gun to air hose. Turn on the turbo unit. Direct the spray gun to a safe area and spray the clean warm water through the spray gun until the cup is empty.

Turn off the turbine unit. Disconnect the spray gun. Unscrew the cup.

Wipe all exposed areas dry, or air dry.

Assemble when dry, not wet

Do not submerge spray gun under water. Do not rinse tip and air cap while connected to gun, as water may collect under air cap and plate, causing mineral buildup.

Air Cap Ring, Plate, Nozzle, tip:

As needed, based on use, and water type

Unscrew and remove the air cap ring Rinse the threads under warm running water.

Wipe, clean the threads and dry.

Remove the air cap. Rinse under warm running water. Wipe, clean and dry.

Please see your owners manual On Professional Level Guns, (metal gun) occasionally it is necessary to lubricate the needle where it slides through the gland nut, or the threads on the air cap ring, where it screws into the gun.

Simply rub a few drops of spray gun lube, or WD40 around the needle shaft and reinsert into the back of spray gun.

The Regular/Standard composite plastic gun does not need lubrication.

None of our spray guns are correctly configured to work with a compressor based system.

They are specialized guns, build to work with our turbine based systems only.

We carry Maximist brand units. Spray guns are not interchangeable between brands.

Our guns will not fit/work correctly with other brand systems, or compressor based systems.

If you are unsure which gun is needed for your unit – Please email us at help@tampabaytan.com BEFORE placing order. Please provide a clear image of your base unit, and hose ends.

We are happy to assist you, in making the correct purchase for your needs.

The spray gun can be adjusted to spray horizontally, vertically, or a 2 inch circular pattern.

When adjusted correctly, the gun will spray a 4 inch flat spray pattern, when held 4 inches from the skin surface.

The circular pattern is roughly 2 inches across. (nozzle adjusted to 45 degree setting)

Gun can be held farther from the skin surface for a wider spray pattern, or moved closed for a smaller pattern.

Recommend setting for best spray results are vertical or horizontal spray, adjusted to 4 inch width, held four inches from skin surface.

Specialized effects such as contouring or “tan tattoos” can be done with the circular or flat spray patterns.

Please see owners manual

If your unit come with a removable filter, clean it weekly.

It is VERY important to allow the turbine motor to breathe freely; clogged and dirty filters prevent this and will cause your turbine unit to over heat and burn out prematurely.

Locate the filter on the parts diagram, remove, wash out with warm water and simply replace.

If filter becomes damaged, replace with aquarium or pond filter media, cut to fit. Available from Home Improvement or Pet Supply stores.

Please see the attached video links below. Each is different, you may find one option works easier for you than the other.

Another option is to fold the two long sides together, and then lay flat on its back on the floor – the tent will be flat on the floor now, all sides compressed into one piece.

-Hold the bottom (base) lift slightly, and slide the tent top, toward a wall, and push the Top (clear windowed area) up against a wall to brace it .

-Fold the bottom up toward the top (like a U shape) – then you sort of twist the sides to make a circle that lies flat.
