Overnight Storage
Shutdown
1. Turn the pressure control
knob counterclockwise to
the minimum setting.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY
valve to PRIME.
3. Move the pump ON/OFF
switch to the OFF position.
4. Move the compressor
ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.
5. Wait a couple seconds, then
trigger the gun into the
material container to
release built up fluid
pressure from the pump and air pressure from the
compressor.
6. Lock the gun by turning the gun lock nut clockwise (when
looking from the back of the gun) until it stops. This
closes the material valve in the gun.
7. Unplug the unit.
8. For latex materials only, pour 1/2 cup water slowly on the
top of the paint to prevent the paint from drying. For other
materials, seal the material container keeping the return
hose in the paint.
9. Wrap the spray gun assembly in a damp cloth and place it
in a plastic bag. Seal the bag shut.
10. Place the unit in a safe place out of the sun for short-term
storage.
Startup
1. Remove the gun from the plastic bag.
2. Stir the water into the paint for latex materials. Remove
the cover from the material container and stir the paint for
all other materials.
3. Perform the appropriate procedure in the “Painting”
section of this manual for the type of spraying that will be
performed.
Long-Term Storage
Do not allow paint to build up on the motor or the motor
will overheat. Do not allow flammable solvents to come in
contact with the motor or they could ignite.
Do not use mineral spirits or paint thinner on latex paint,
or the mixture will turn into a jelly-like substance which is
difficult to remove.
CAUTION
NOTE: If spraying with latex paint, use warm soapy
water for cleaning. If using oil or alkyd-based
paints, use mineral spirits or paint thinner.

Clearing the Suction Tube
1. Turn the pressure control knob
counterclockwise to the minimum
setting.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to
PRIME.
3. Move the pump ON/OFF switch
to the OFF position.
4. Move the compressor ON/OFF
switch to the OFF position.
5. Wait a couple seconds, then
trigger the gun into the material
container to release built up fluid
pressure from the pump and air
pressure from the compressor.
6. Lock the gun by turning the gun lock nut clockwise (when
looking from the back of the gun) until it stops. This
closes the material valve in the gun.
7. Remove the suction hose from the material and hold it
above a bucket of water or solvent. Leave the return hose
in the material bucket.
Do not use mineral spirits or paint thinner on latex paint,
the mixture will turn into a jelly-like substance that is
difficult to remove.
8. Move the pump ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
9. Turn the pressure control knob to 1/2 maximum pressure.
This will draw the remaining material in the suction hose
through the pump, down the return hose and into the
material bucket.
10. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum setting.
11. Remove the spray tip and guard and place them into a
container of the appropriate solvent.
12. Place the attached suction hose and return hose into the
container of water or appropriate solvent.
13. Increase the pressure to 1/2 the maximum pressure. Let
the water or solvent circulate for 2-3 minutes to flush paint
out of the pump, the suction hose and the return hose.
Clearing the Paint Hose
1. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum pressure setting.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY
valve to SPRAY.
3. Unlock the gun by turning
the gun lock nut counter-
clockwise (when looking
from the back of the gun)
three full turns. This opens
the material valve in the gun.
4. Carefully trigger the gun
with the spray tip removed
against the inside of the
material container.
5. Turn the pressure control
knob slowly clockwise until
material starts to flow into the container. As soon as the
water or solvent starts to come into the container, release
the trigger.
6. Change to clean water or solvent and continue circulating
for another 5 minutes to thoroughly clean the hose, pump
and spray gun.
7. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its
lowest setting.
8. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME.
9. Trigger the gun into the water or solvent container to
release built up fluid pressure from the pump.
