Attaching the Paint Hose
1. Attach the high pressure hose to the paint sprayer. Use a
wrench to tighten the paint hose securely.
2. Attach the spray gun to the other end of the high pressure
hose. Tighten the hose securely to the gun using two
wrenches.
3. Plug the sprayer into a properly grounded outlet or heavy
duty grounded extension cord. Do not use more than 100
feet of cord. If you must spray a long distance from a
power source, use more paint hose, not more extension
cords. Use a minimum size of 16 gauge extension cord
for up to 50 feet in length, or 12 to 14 gauge for extension
cords between 50 and 100 feet in length.
Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow this procedure after the unit is assembled and before
any operation which involves the spray gun such as cleaning
and maintenance or changing tips or accessories.
1. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its
lowest setting.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME.
3. Trigger the gun to remove any pressure which may still be
in the hose.
4. Lock the trigger by rotating the trigger
lock forward until it stops.
Injection hazard. Do not spray without
the tip guard in place. NEVER trigger
the gun unless the tip is completely
turned to either the spray or the unclog
position. ALWAYS engage the gun trigger lock before
removing, replacing or cleaning tip.

Preparing to Prime
1. Fill the inlet valve with water or with a light household oil.
2. Make sure the PRIME/SPRAY knob is set to PRIME and
that the pressure control knob is turned counterclockwise
to the lowest pressure setting.
3. Turn the motor switch to ON.
4. Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control
knob clockwise 1/2 turn.
5. Force the inlet valve to open and close by pushing on it
with a screwdriver or the eraser end of a pencil. It should
move up and down about 1/16 of an inch. Continue until
water or oil is sucked into the sprayer. This will wet the
moving parts and break loose any old paint residue.
6. Put the palm of your hand over the inlet. Turn the
pressure control knob clockwise to its maximum setting.
You should feel suction coming from the inlet valve. If you
do not, see the section on cleaning and servicing the outlet
valve.
7. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum pressure setting.
8. Turn the motor switch to OFF.
