Preparation
Wet the Hose Before Pumping Texture
Material
Wet the inside of the hose before each use to flush out
sediment and to prevent the texture material from
packing out the hose.
1.
The hopper capacity is 8 gal. (30 liters). Fill the
hopper about half full with clean water.
2.
Close the gun air valve (423); the system primes
easier if no air is supplied to the gun.
3.
Turn on the switch (52). Trigger the gun into the
hopper. Trigger the gun to circulate the water for a
few minutes and wet the inside of the fluid hose.
4.
Trigger the gun into a pail to lower the water to the
hopper strainer (47) level.
5.
Turn off the switch (52).
6.
Open the gun air valve (423) to relieve the com-
pressor air.
Mix the Material
CAUTION
This system is designed for use with only certain
types of material. Any other use could seriously
damage the unit.
D
Do not use any solvent-based materials. Use
only water-based materials.
D
Use only simulated acoustic and gypsum-based
wall texture materials in this system.
D
Do not spray cementious materials, which will
damage the pump.
Proper material mixture is essential. The pump
won’t operate if the material is too thick.
Slowly add one bag of texture material to clean water
as instructed on the bag instructions. Agitate to a
smooth, lump-free consistency. Thin the material as
needed before pouring it into the hopper. For the
best results, do not use partial bags of material.
