Section 3 - Operation
CAUTION
DO NOT OPEN THE AIR PRESSURE VALVE TOO MUCH. THE
VALVE NEEDS TO BE OPEN ONLY ENOUGH FOR THE PUMP
TO FUNCTION. BARELY OPEN WILL BE SUFFICIENT. IF IT IS
OPENED TO FAR, EXCESSIVE AIR PRESSURE CAN QUICKLY
DAMAGE THE PUMP.
10. When the tank is near full, make sure to allow
room for 5 gallons of flush water to clean the
pump and hoses.
WARNING
OVERFILLING A PAINT TANK CAN DAMAGE EQUIPMENT
AND CREATE A SLIP AND FALL HAZARD ON THE DECK.
ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE MONITOR THE TANK AS IT FILLS
TO ENSURE IT IS NOT OVERFILLED.
11. Shutdown the pump and place the withdrawal
tube in a 5 gallon bucket of water. Then run
pump until the bucket is empty. Flush water
will clean the lines and go into the paint tank.

from the pump.
13. With pump still running, close the tank fill
valve at bottom of tank, then all other valves
including the supply valve on the pump. Then
