H.E.R.O. AIRLESS SPRAY PAINTING
Welcome to the world of H.E.R.O. airless paint spraying. We are sure you will enjoy owning and operating
your new H.E.R.O. model 1100MD. With H.E.R.O. airless spray equipment you will avoid the
inconvenience and mess of overspray. You are spraying paint, not air, and the paint is driven to the painting
surface in a clean, fan shaped spray which penetrates all cracks and corners. To attain these results, you must
adjust the pressure as low as possible. We recommend that you become familiar with your H.E.R.O. unit.
Discuss with your dealer the useful accessory items he has to offer - various types of tips, extension poles for
hard to reach areas, extra hose, etc. Use of accessory items is often the difference between a good job and an
excellent one!
