13. Turn on the sprayer.
14. Turn the pressure control knob slowly clockwise to
increase pressure.
15. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
Ground the gun by holding it
against the edge of the metal
container while flushing. Failure to
do so may lead to a static electric
discharge, which may cause a fire.
16. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until the old
solvent is gone and fresh solvent is coming out of the gun.
17. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
18. Set down the gun and increase the pressure by turning
the pressure control knob slowly clockwise to its highest
setting.
19. Check the entire system for leaks. If leaks occur, turn the
sprayer off and follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in
this manual before tightening any fittings or hoses.
20. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in this manual
before changing from solvent to paint.
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure
when shutting down the sprayer for any purpose,
including servicing or adjusting any part of the
spray system, changing or cleaning spray tips, or
preparing for cleanup.
viscosity Switch - Read before spraying!
Located just below the pressure control knob is the viscosity
switch. The switch is designed to ensure proper spray
performance depending upon the type of material being sprayed.
Viscosity
Switch
Pressure
Control Knob
If spraying low to medium-viscosity materials like paint, make
sure the switch is toggled to “PAINT” (up).
If spraying heavy-viscosity materials or fillers, make sure the
switch is toggled to “FILLER / HEAVY VISCOSITY” (down)
.
IMPORTaNT: It is critical that this switch be used properly.
Spraying heavy-viscosity materials when the switch is set
to PaINT will put unnecessary stress on the clutch and can
cause serious damage to the sprayer.
Painting
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of paint.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the PRIME position.
5. Move the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
6. Start the engine:
a. Open the fuel valve lever.
b. Move the throttle lever away from the gas tank.
c. Close the engine choke lever.
d. Holding the frame with one hand, pull the starter rope
rapidly and firmly. Continue to hold the rope as you
let it return. Pull and return the rope until the engine
starts.
7. Turn on the sprayer by moving the sprayer ON/OFF switch
to the ON position.
8. 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.
9. Allow the sprayer to run until paint is coming through the
return hose into the metal waste container.
10. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting.
11. Turn off the sprayer by moving the sprayer ON/OFF switch
to the OFF position.
12. Remove the return hose from the waste container and
place it in its operating position above the container of
paint.
13. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the SPRAY position.
14. Turn on the sprayer.
15. Turn the pressure control knob slowly clockwise to
increase pressure.
16. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
Ground the gun by holding it
against the edge of the metal
container while flushing. Failure to
do so may lead to a static electric
discharge, which may cause a fire.
17. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until all air
and solvent is flushed from the spray hose and paint is
flowing freely from the gun.
18. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
19. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting.
20. Turn off the sprayer.
21. Attach tip guard and tip to the gun as instructed by the tip
guard or tip manuals.
POSSIBLE INjEcTION haZaRD. Do not spray
without the tip guard in place. Never trigger the
gun unless the tip is in either the spray or the
unclog position. always engage the gun trigger
lock before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.
22. Turn on the sprayer.
23. Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control
knob slowly clockwise and test the spray pattern on a
piece of cardboard. Adjust the pressure control knob until
the spray from the gun is completely atomized. Try to
keep the pressure control knob at the lowest setting that
maintains good atomization.
NOTE: Turning the pressure up higher than needed to
atomize the paint will cause premature tip wear
and additional overspray.
