General Description

This airless sprayer 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.

Setup

Perform the following procedure before plugging in the power
cord of an electric unit.

1. Ensure that the siphon tube/suction set and the return

hose are attached and secure.

2. Using a wrench, attach a minimum of 50’ of 1/4” nylon

airless spray hose to the unit. Tighten securely.

3. Attach an airless spray gun to the spray hose. Using two

wrenches (one on the gun and one on the hose), tighten
securely.

Make sure all airless hoses and spray guns are
electrically grounded and rated for at least 3300 psi (228
bar) fluid pressure.

4. Make sure the pressure control knob is in its OFF position

in the black zone.

5. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in its OFF position.
6. Fill the oil cup with one tablespoon of piston seal lubricant

(Piston Lube).

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 at

least 25’ from the spray area.

Preparing a New Sprayer

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 with mineral
spirits before you begin spraying.

Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.

1. Place the siphon tube into a container of mineral spirits.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure

control knob to the “Min” setting in the yellow zone.

4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to the PRIME

position.

5. Turn the unit on by moving the ON/OFF switch to the ON

position.

6. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30 seconds to flush the

test fluid out through the return hose and into the waste
container.

7. Turn the unit off by moving the ON/OFF switch to the OFF

position.

Preparing to Paint

Before painting, it is important to make sure that the fluid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.

Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
