Setup
Read, understand, and follow all warnings before starting
or operating this sprayer.
1. Connecting the Hoses:
The siphon hose and the bleed line hose have factory
installed
PTFE
tape on the male end of the hoses.
Tighten the syphon hose and bleed line wrench tight.
2. One Gun Operation - Attach the gun and hose. Always
use a spray hose at least 50 feet long. Do not use
PTFE
or thread sealant on this assembly. Do not install the
spray tip at this time.
3. Two Gun Operation - Remove the plug from the second
gun outlet. Connect a hose and a gun to the outlet.
4. Multiple Gun Operation - This unit is engineered to handle
up to 3 guns with .019" tips. When using more than two
guns, make sure the second gun hookup outlet is
plugged. Connect the multiple gun manifold to the single
gun outlet. These manifolds are for either 2, 3, or 4-guns
and have shut off valves. Connect a hose and gun to
each outlet.
5. Fill the wet-cup 1/2 full with Speeflo Piston Lube (P/N 700-
925) supplied by the factory. This extends packing life.
6. Electric Models - Use a 20 amp service outlet. Always
locate the electric model within 10 to 15 feet of the service
outlet. Use a short electric cable and a long paint hose.
Any extension cord will create some voltage drop. If an
extension cord is necessary, use only grounded 3 wire #
12 extension cords.

WARNING
If the unit is being operated in an area that is overloaded
by other appliances or low voltage conditions, it is
important to start the unit "unloaded." Tip the electric
motor forward so that the belt is loosened and the motor
starts without full load. This reduces the amperage draw
on starting and may avoid tripping the circuit breaker.
7. Be sure the PowrTwin system is grounded. All Speeflo
units are equipped with a grounding lug. A grounding
cable (not supplied) should be used to connect the unit to
a true earth ground. Check your local electrical
regulations for detailed grounding instructions. See the
Accessories and Service Kits section near the back of this
manual for ordering information.
8. Strain all paints with a nylon strainer to ensure trouble free
operation and freedom from frequent cleaning of the inlet
screen and gun strainer.
Proper grounding is important. This applies to both gas
and electric powered models. The passage of some
materials through the nylon fluid hose will build up a
static electric charge, which if discharged, could ignite
solvent vapors present and create an explosion.
Fueling
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under
certain conditions.
• ALWAYS turn the engine off before refueling.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the refueling
area or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the
tank cap is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or
fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing
of vapor.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
Fuel Specifications
• Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number
of 86 or higher, or that has a research octane number of
91 or higher.
• Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends the life of exhaust system
components.
• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an
oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the
fuel tank. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause
persistent "pinging" or heavy "spark knock" (a metallic
rapping noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine
damage.
NOTE: If "spark knock" or "pinging" occurs at a
steady engine speed under normal load,
change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or
pinging persists, consult your authorized
Honda dealer. Failure to do so is considered
misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not
covered by the engine manufacturer’s limited
warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light spark
knock while operating under heavy loads. This
is no cause for concern, it simply means your
engine is operating efficiently.
