Use this procedure each time you start the sprayer to
help ensure the sprayer is ready to operate and that
you start it safely.
NOTE: If this is a first–time startup, flush the sprayer.
See page 12.
1.
Open the pressure drain valve (J). See Fig. 7.
2.
Don’t install the spray tip until the pump is
primed!
3.
Put the suction hose or tube (M) into the paint.
If you are pumping from a 1 gallon (5 liter) pail,
push the drain hose (N) down below the top of the
pail to avoid splashing paint when the drain valve
is opened.
4.
Turn the pressure knob (B) to the minimum
setting.
5.
Disengage the gun safety latch. See Fig. 3,
page 7.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of damage to the displace-
ment pump packings, never run the pump with-
out fluid in it for more than 30 seconds.
6.
To prime the pump, turn the sprayer ON/OFF
switch (C) ON.
Slowly increase the pressure until
the sprayer starts. When fluid comes from the
pressure drain valve, close the valve.
