Hey DNicholson
…first…with an Airless.
Next…take the gun out from it’s cradle. Then…loosen that “Horizontal” arm.
Next…spin it around…so the cradle is now almost right beside the back tire.
Next…re-install the gun into it’s cradle. Be careful with the cable.
SO…the gun is now going to spray…almost right beside the rear tire…and since you’re moving forward…like you always do…the gun is actually spraying backwards too. Does that maker sense?
Next…pull the trigger. AND…pull the “other” trigger that releases the front tire to roam. DO NOT lift up the front…NO WHEELIES…!
Next…wander around spraying water. You’ll be amazed.
It’s that simple.
NOW…as an experiment…put the gun cradle back up front…where it came from…and replace the gun…just like you’re going to spray a typical line. NOW…pull the trigger and also the “other” trigger…to release the front tire. AND TURN. You’ll see that the line diminishes to NOTHING…if you try it this way.
SO…simply put…remove the gun…spin the horizontal arm around…replace the gun…be careful with the cable.
Spray away…releasing the front tire.
Last…this still takes practice…but it’s a blast. I just sprayed a 30′ curve. It was beautiful. I’ve also sprayed 16 Tether Ball courts without breaking any sweat. ( It’s harder to follow a given line. Go slower. )
Try it with water…you’ll love it.
How’s that?
