8. Squirt a teaspoon of Piston
Lube™ (P/N 314-480, sold
separately) into the indicated
area. Light household oil can
be substituted if necessary.
9. Check the engine oil level.
The gasoline engine oil
level is determined by the
manufacturer. Refer to the
engine manufacturer’s service
manual (supplied).
10. Fill the gas tank on the engine with unleaded gasoline
only. Do not mix the gasoline with 2-cycle oil.
Preparing to Paint
Before painting, it is important to make sure that the fluid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.
NOTE: If this unit is new, it is shipped with test fluid
in the fluid section to prevent corrosion during
shipment and storage. This fluid must be
thoroughly cleaned out of the system before you
begin spraying.
Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the
valves to become stuck closed, which would
require disassembly and cleaning of the
sprayer’s fluid section.
IMPORTaNT: always keep the trigger lock on the spray
gun in the locked position while preparing the system. If
necessary, loosen the gun holder clamp knob and then
engage the spray gun trigger lock.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent for the material being sprayed (refer to
recommendations of the material manufacturer). An
example of the appropriate solvent is water for latex paint.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.

d. Once the engine is running,
slowly move the choke lever
down to the closed position.
6. Fluid will begin flowing through the return hose and into
the waste container. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30
seconds to flush the test fluid out through the return hose
and into the waste container.
7. Turn off the sprayer by pressing and holding the engine
shutoff switch until the motor shuts off.
NOTE: Make sure that the spray gun does not have a tip

preparing for cleanup.
Painting
1. Place a five gallon bucket of material between the bucket
holders on the cart. Make sure the bucket holders hold
the five gallon bucket securely. Adjust the bucket holders
using the thumb screw located underneath each holder, if
necessary.
NOTE: When using this line striper for first time, it may
be helpful to use water in place of paint to gain
familiarity with the operation of the line striper.
after changing from water to paint, test spray
several lines on cardboard, roofing felt, or rosin
paper before striping to ensure correct line width.
2. Place the siphon tube into the bucket of material.
3. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
