Mounting the Paint Hopper
1. Align the bottom of the paint hopper with the threaded
inlet valve on the paint pump block.
2. Turn the paint hopper clockwise to thread it onto the inlet
valve. Continue to turn the paint hopper until it is secure
on the inlet valve.
3. Place the filter screen into the bottom of the paint hopper
and snap it in position.
Attaching the Return Tube
1. Make sure that the motor switch is turned to OFF.
2. Screw the return tube fitting found in the literature set into the
return tube port on the side of the pump and tighten firmly by
hand.
3. Place the straight end of the return tube into the return
tube fitting.
4. Thread the nut on the return tube onto the return tube
fitting and tighten until the return tube is secure.
5. Place the hook end of the return tube into the hole in the
paint hopper cover.

NOTE: Do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten only. Some
threads will be visible even when fully
tightened.
NOTE: Make sure the threads are straight and the
hopper turns freely on the inlet valve. Do not
cross-thread.
Priming the Pump
1. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its
lowest pressure setting.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME.
3. Turn the motor switch to ON.
4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to between half
and full pressure. You should see the paint move through
the suction tube to the pump. Let the unit prime 1 to 2
minutes after paint begins to flow through the return tube.
Always reduce the pressure to zero before changing the
position of the priming knob. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the paint pump diaphragm.
If the pressure control knob is reduced to zero and the
PRIME/SPRAY knob is still on SPRAY while the sprayer is
operating, there will be high pressure in the hose and
spray gun until the priming knob is turned to PRIME or
until the spray gun is triggered to relieve the pressure.
