3. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to the
SPRAY position.
4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to
its highest setting. The paint hose should
stiffen as paint begins to flow through it.
5. Unlock the gun trigger lock.
6. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the hose.
7. When paint reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to
check the spray pattern.
Good spray pattern
Paint tailing pattern
8. Use the lowest pressure setting
necessary to get a good spray
pattern. If the pressure is set
too high, the spray pattern will
be too light. If the pressure is
set too low, tailing will appear
or the paint will spatter out
in gobs rather than in a fine
spray.
cleanup
Do not use gasoline to clean the sprayer.
Special cleanup instructions for use with
flammable solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
IMPORTaNT: The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned
thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so permits material
to build up, seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
always spray at minimum pressure with the gun
nozzle tip removed when using mineral spirits or
any other solvent to clean the sprayer, hose, or
gun. Static electricity buildup may result in a fire
or explosion in the presence of flammable vapors.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
2. Remove the gun tip and tip guard and clean with a brush
using the appropriate solvent.
3. 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.
4. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
5. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise.
6. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to
the PRIME position.
NOTE: hold the return hose in the waste
container when moving the PRIME/
SPRay valve to PRIME in case the
sprayer is pressurized.
7. Turn on the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
ON position.
8. Allow the solvent to circulate through the sprayer and
flush the paint out of the return hose into the metal waste
container.
9. Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF
switch to the OFF position.
10. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its
SPRAY position.
11. Turn on the sprayer.
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.
12. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until the
paint is flushed out of the hose and solvent is coming out
of the gun.
13. Continue to trigger the spray gun into the waste container
until the solvent coming out of the gun is clean.
NOTE: For long-term or cold weather storage, pump
mineral sprits through the entire system.
14. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
15. Unplug the unit and store in a clean, dry area.
IMPORTaNT: Do not store the unit under pressure.
cleaning the Spray Tip
1. Flush the gun with solvent immediately after the work is
completed.
2. Oil the sliding pins to prevent them from seizing up.
Should the spray tip become clogged, reverse the
spray tip with the lever and pull the trigger. Once
the obstruction comes out of the spray tip, release
the trigger, reverse the spray tip back to the spray
pattern setting, and resume spraying.
Do not attempt to clean the tip with
your finger.
Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed
instrument to clean the tip. The hard tungsten
carbide is brittle and can be chipped.
Maintenance
Before proceeding, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure outlined previously in this manual.
additionally, follow all other warnings to reduce
the risk of an injection injury, injury from moving
parts or electric shock. always unplug the sprayer
before servicing!
General Repair and Service Notes
1. Before repairing any part of the sprayer, read the
instructions carefully, including all warnings.
IMPORTaNT: Never pull on a wire to disconnect it. Pulling
on a wire could loosen the connector from the wire.
2. Test your repair before regular operation of the sprayer
to be sure that the problem is corrected. If the sprayer
does not operate properly, review the repair procedure to
determine if everything was done correctly. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section to help identify other possible
problems.
3. Make sure that the service area is well ventilated in
case solvents are used during cleaning. Always wear
protective eyewear while servicing. Additional protective
equipment may be required depending on the type of
cleaning solvent. Always contact the supplier of solvents
for recommendations.
