Preparation
Auxiliary Air Compressor
An external air compressor may be connected
(adapter included) to the auxiliary air compressor port
(L) to supplement or replace the internal air
compressor of the TexSpray. This may be useful when
Additional air is needed to break up hard-to-spray
materials
When the job site does not have the proper electric
service, but a gasoline-powered compressor is
available
WARNING
Overpressurizing the system may cause compo-
nent rupture and result in serious injury.
To reduce the risk of overpressurizing the system, do
not use a compressor with an output pressure greater
than 100 psi (70 kPa, 7 bar), or with a delivery greater
than 6.8 scfm at 90 psi (0.19 m
3
/min. at 60.3 kPa, 6.3
bar).
Hose Size and Lengths
The system comes with a hose set consisting of a
1-in. ID x 25-ft (25 mm x 7.6 m) fluid hose and a
3/8-in. ID air hose. The 1-in. hose set includes an
adapter hose between the gun and main hose. See the
Parts List on page 25.
Use the shortest length possible when spraying.
Increasing hose length decreases sprayer
performance. Do not use more than 75 ft (23 m) of
fluid hose.
Removing and Installing the Hopper
1.
To remove the hopper (J), loosen the knob (P) until
about 1 in. of thread shows. Lift the hopper straight
up off the unit. See Fig. 8.
2.
To install the hopper, position the hopper drain
over the pump inlets while tilting the hopper very
slightly forward. As you engage the inlets,
straighten the hopper and push down. Visually
inspect the pump inlets to be sure the hopper is
fully engaged. Tighten the knob (P). See Fig. 8.
