Assembly

Figure 2 - Attaching the Hose

Danger

Make sure that the pump is switched off (position O) and 

the spray device is disconnected from the power supply.

  1.  Thread the high pressure hose to the spray hose port.  Tighten 

with an adjustable wrench.  

  2.  Thread the other end of the hose to the spray gun. Grip the 

spray gun with an adjustable wrench on the handle, and 

tighten the hose nut with the other. 

i

The spray tip should not be attached until after the 

sprayer and spray hose have been purged and primed.

Figure 3 - Attaching the Suction Set

  1.  Remove cap from inlet valve (a). Thread the suction tube onto 

the inlet valve and tighten firmly by hand.  Be sure that the 

threads are straight so that the fitting turns freely.

  2.  Push the return hose into the return connection piece.
 

Before You Begin

Preparation of the Coating Material

Using Project Pro 117 interior wall paints, varnishes and glazes can 

be applied by spraying without diluting them, or by diluting them 

slightly.

Detailed information is available in the technical data sheet of the 

manufacturer (



 Internet download).

  1.  Stir the material thoroughly and dilute it in the container as 

per the recommended dilution (an agitator is recommended 

for stirring).

Thinning recommendation

Sprayed material

Glazes

undiluted

Wood preservatives containing solvents 

or based on water, mordants, oils, 

disinfection agents, plant protective 

agents

undiluted

Paints containing solvents and water-

soluble paints, primers, vehicle coating 

paints,  thick-film glazes

dilute by 5 - 10%

Interior wall paint (dispersions and latex 

paint)

dilute by 0 - 10%

  2.  Do a test spray (e.g. on to a piece of cardboard).

i

If the paint sprays evenly, as shown in fig. 11 A, all the 

setting must be correct.
If the paint looks stripy after spraying, as shown in fig. 

11 B, gradually increase the pressure, or dilute more in 

5% steps. 

Figure 4 - Locking the Spray Gun

Danger

Always lock the trigger off when attaching the spray 

tip or when the spray gun is not in use. 

  1.  The gun is secured when the trigger lock is at a 90° angle 

(perpendicular) to the trigger in either direction. 

Figure 5 - Pressure Relief Procedure

Danger

Be sure to follow the Pressure Relief Procedure 

when shutting the unit off for any purpose.   This 

procedure is used to relieve pressure from the spray 

hose.

  1.  Lock the spray gun off.  Flip the ON/OFF switch to the OFF 

position.

  2.  Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME.

  3.  Unlock the spray gun and trigger spray gun into the side of 

the material bucket.  Lock the spray gun.

Priming

Figure 6 - Preparing to Prime

  1.  Spray a little oil out of the provided flask into the marked 

opening (tip: tilt the device back). Light household oil can be 

substituted if necessary. 

  2.  Fully insert the Quickflo™ valve to make sure the inlet ball is 

free.

Figure 7 - Priming the Sprayer

  1.  Place a full container of spraying material underneath the 

suction tube (a).  Secure the return tube (b) into a waste 

container.

  2.  Slide the PressureTrac™ to maximum pressure (+).
  3.  Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME.

  4.  Plug in the sprayer and move the ON/OFF switch to the ON (l) 

position.  

i

The unit will begin to draw material up the suction 

tube, into the pump, and out the return tube.  Let the 

unit cycle long enough to remove test fluid from the 

pump, or until spray material is coming from the return 

tube.

  5.  Switch the pump OFF (O).  Remove the return tube from the 

waste container and place it in its operating position above 

the container of spraying material.  Use the metal clip to bind 

the two hoses together.

Figure 8 - Priming the Spray Hose

  1.  Unlock the spray gun and turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to 

PRIME.  

i

The spray tip should not be attached to your spray gun 

when purging your spray hose.

  2.  PULL the trigger and aim the spray gun at the side wall of a 

waste container.  If using oil-based materials, the spray gun 

must be grounded while purging (see warning below).    

Field of application

Coating of interior walls as well as small and medium-sized objects 

outdoors (e.g. garden fences, garage doors, etc.).
