clean, replace it in the sump hole, then remove
it and check the fluid level. The fluid level
should be between the ADD and FULL marks
on the dipstick.
c. If the fluid level is at or below the ADD mark,
replace the strainer/dipstick in the sump hole
and add approved hydraulic fluid through the
hole as necessary to bring the level to the FULL
mark. See Accessories on page 19 for approved
hydraulic fluid. 1-3/4 pints will raise the level
from ADD to FULL.
2. Connect Hose and Gun (Refer to Fig U
a. Remove the plastic cap plug from the filter
outlet nipple and tightly screw the 50 ft ( 15.2 m)

4. Check Electrical Service
a. Be sure the electrical service is 120 V,
60 HzAC, 15 Amp (minimum) and that the
outlet you use is properly grounded.
NOTE:
A
licensed electrician can rewire the sprayer
for 230 volt service if necessary. See page
15.
b. Use an extension cord which has 3 wires of a
minimum 12 gauge size, and a maximum of
50 ft ( 15 m) long. Longer lengths may affect
sprayer performance.
5. Plug in the Sprayer
a. Be sure the ON/OFF switch is OFF. Refer to
Fig 1. Then plug the cord into a grounded elec
trical outlet at least 20 ft (6 m) away from the
spray area .
.--------WARNING------
Proper electrical grounding is essential to reduce
the
risk
of fire or explosion which can result in
serious bodily injury and property damage. Refer
to the warning section GROUNDING on page 3
for more detailed grounding instructions.
6.
Flush the pump
to remove the lightweight oil
which was left in to protect pump parts after fac
tory testing.
See "Flushing Guidelines"
on page 9
for flushing procedure.
7.
Prepare the paint
according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
a. Remove any skin that may have formed.
b. Stir the paint to dissolve hard pigments.
c. Strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag
(available at most paint dealers) to remove par
ticles that could clog the filter or spray tip.
This
is probably the most important step toward
trouble-free spray painting.
