Setup
4.
Be sure your system is properly grounded
before operating it.
Connect the sprayer to a true
earth ground with the grounding wire and clamp
(80) ; for example, a cold water pipe or a ground
rod driven into the earth.
5.
Fill the gas tank.
See
Fueling
, page 8.
6.
Flush the pump
to remove the lightweight oil
which was left in the pump to protect it from corro-
sion.
a.
Before using water–base paint, flush with
mineral spirits, followed by soapy water, and
then flush with clean water.
b.
Before using oil–base paint, flush with mineral
spirits, only.
c.
See
Flushing
on page 13 for the flushing
procedure.
7.
Prepare the paint
according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
a.
Remove any skin that may have formed.
b.
Stir the paint to mix the pigments.
c.
Strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag
(available at most paint dealers) to remove the
particles that could clog the filter or spray tip.
This is probably the most important step
toward trouble–free spraying.
8.
Keep the sprayer upright and level
during
operation and whenever it is being moved. See the
CAUTION on page 10.
