General Description
This piston pump is a precision power tool used for spraying
many types of materials. Read and follow this instruction
manual carefully for proper operating instructions,
maintenance, and safety information.
Operation
This equipment produces a fluid stream at extremely high
pressure. Read and understand the warnings in the
Safety Precautions section at the front of this manual
before operating this equipment.
Pre-Start
Perform the following procedure before plugging in the power
cord of an electric unit.
1. Ensure that the suction set and the return hose are
attached and secure.
2. Attach a minimum of 50’ of airless spray hose to the unit.
3. Attach an airless spray gun to the spray hose. Do not
attach the tip to the spray gun yet. Remove the tip if it is
already attached.
Make sure all airless hoses and spray guns are
electrically grounded and rated for at least 3200 psi (220
bar) fluid pressure.
4. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
5. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in its OFF position.
6. Fill the wet cup with one tablespoon of piston seal
lubricant (P.S.L.).
Never operate unit for more than ten seconds without
fluid. Operating this unit without fluid will cause
unnecessary wear to the packings.
7. Make sure the electrical service is 120V, 15 amp
minimum.
8. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet.

Purging and Priming
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while purging the system.
If this unit is new, it is shipped with test fluid in the fluid section
to prevent corrosion during shipment and storage. This fluid
must be thoroughly cleaned out of the system before you
begin spraying.
If it is already in service, you will need to purge the water or
solvent used in cleanup.
Purging and Priming the Pump for Latex Paint
1. Secure the return hose into a waste container.
2. Place the suction tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise its
lowest pressure setting.
4. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to the PRIME
position.
5. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
6. Slowly turn the pressure control knob clockwise to
increase the pressure until fluid starts to come out of the
return hose. Use only enough pressure to keep the fluid
coming out.
7. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting when the test fluid is purged and solvent
is coming out of the return hose.
8. Remove the container of solvent from the suction tube
and replace it with a bucket of clear water.
9. Increase the pressure to the minimum necessary to keep
fluid flowing until clear water is coming out of the return hose.
10. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting.
11. Remove the bucket of water from under the suction tube
and replace it with a container of latex paint.
12. Increase the pressure slowly until paint is coming through
the return hose.
13. Remove the return hose from the waste container and
place it in its operating position above the container of
latex paint.
14. Keep circulating the paint through the system until the
paint coming out of the return hose is free of air bubbles.
15. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting.
The pump is now purged. Skip to
Purging and Priming the
Spray Hose.
Purging and Priming for Solvent-Based Paint
1. Secure the return hose into a waste container.
2. Place the suction tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
4. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to the PRIME
position.
5. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
6. Slowly turn the pressure control knob clockwise to
increase the pressure until fluid starts to come out of the
return hose. Use only enough pressure to keep the fluid
coming out.
7. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting when the test fluid is purged and solvent
is coming out of the return hose.
8. Remove the container of solvent from under the suction
tube and replace it with a container of solvent-based
paint.
9. Increase the pressure slowly until paint is coming through
the return hose.
