How to Use the Graco 130HS Manual Bead Hopper Kit
Mount the bead hopper to the LineLazer IV frame using the included brackets.
Attach the two 6-inch bead dispensers behind each spray gun.
Connect the hoses from the hopper to each dispenser.
Install wind deflectors to control bead drop in breezy conditions.
Fill the hopper with approved glass beads.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much area does one hopper cover?
