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.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the trigger lock on the spray
gun in the locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent. Examples of the appropriate solvent are water for
latex paint or mineral spirits for oil-based paints.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste
container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning
the pressure control knob to the “Min”
setting in the yellow zone.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to the
PRIME position.
5. Turn on the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
ON position.
6. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30 seconds to flush the old
solvent out through the return hose and into the metal
waste container.
7. Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position.
8. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to the
SPRAY position.
9. Turn on the sprayer.
10. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger
lock to the unlocked position.
Ground the gun by holding it
against the edge of the metal
container while flushing. Failure
to do so may lead to a static
electric discharge, which may
cause a fire.
11. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until the old
solvent is gone and fresh solvent is coming out of the gun.
12. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger
lock to the locked position.
13. Set down the gun and increase the
pressure by turning the pressure control
knob slowly clockwise into the green zone.
14. Check the entire system for leaks. If
leaks occur, follow the “Pressure Relief
Procedure” in this manual before tightening any fittings or
hoses.
15. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in this manual
before changing from solvent to paint.
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure
when shutting down the sprayer for any purpose,
including servicing or adjusting any part of the
spray system, changing or cleaning spray tips, or
preparing for cleanup.

require disassembly and cleaning of the

slowly clockwise toward the green zone and test the spray
pattern on a piece of cardboard. Adjust the pressure control
knob until the spray from the gun is completely atomized.
Try to keep the pressure control knob at the lowest setting
that maintains good atomization.
