Overnight Storage
Shutdown
1. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum setting.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME.
3. Move the pump ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
4. Move the compressor ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
5. Wait a couple seconds, then trigger the gun into the material
container to release built up fluid pressure from the pump and
air pressure from the compressor.
6. Lock the gun by flipping the trigger lock into lock position
(see spray gun manual).
7. Unplug the unit.
8. For latex materials only, pour 100 ml water slowly on the
top of the paint to prevent the paint from drying. For other
materials, seal the material container keeping the return hose
in the paint.
9. Wrap the spray gun assembly in a damp cloth and place it in a
plastic bag. Seal the bag shut.
10. Place the unit in a safe place out of the sun for short-term
storage.
Startup
1. Remove the gun from the plastic bag.
2. Stir the water into the paint for latex materials. Remove the
cover from the material container and stir the paint for all
other materials.
3. Perform the appropriate procedure in the “Painting” section of
this manual for the type of spraying that will be performed.
7.2
Long-Term Storage
Do not allow paint to build up on the motor or
the motor will overheat. Do not allow flammable
solvents to come in contact with the motor or they
could ignite.
i
If spraying with latex paint, use warm soapy water
for cleaning. If using oil or alkyd-based paints, use
mineral spirits or paint thinner.
Attention
Do not use mineral spirits or paint thinner on
latex paint, or the mixture will turn into a jelly-like
substance which is difficult to remove.

Clearing the Paint Hopper
1. Lock the gun by flipping the trigger lock into lock position
(see spray gun manual).
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum setting.
3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME.
4. Move the motor ON/OFF switch to OFF.
5. Direct the return tube into the original material container.
6. Move the motor ON/OFF switch to ON.
7. Turn the pressure control knob to 1/2 maximum pressure.
This will draw the remaining material in the paint hopper
through the pump, up the return tube, and into the material
container.
8. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum pressure setting.
9. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure and lock the gun.
10. Remove the spray tip and guard and place them into a
container of water or appropriate solvent for the type of
material with which you are painting.
11. Fill the paint hopper with water or an appropriate solvent for
the type of material with which you are painting.
12. Direct the return tube into a waste bucket.
13. Increase the pressure to 1/2 the maximum pressure. Let the
water or solvent circulate for 2-3 minutes to flush material out
of the pump, the paint hopper, and the return tube.
7.4
Clearing the Optional Suction Set
1. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum setting.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME.
3. Move the pump ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
4. Move the compressor ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
5. Wait a couple seconds, then trigger the gun into the material
container to release built up fluid pressure from the pump and
air pressure from the compressor.
6. Lock the gun by flipping the trigger lock into lock position
(see spray gun manual).
7. Remove the suction hose from the material and hold it above
a bucket of water or solvent. Leave the return hose in the
material bucket.
Attention
Do not use mineral spirits or paint thinner on latex
paint, the mixture will turn into a jelly-like substance
that is difficult to remove.
8. Move the pump ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
9. Turn the pressure control knob to 1/2 maximum pressure.
This will draw the remaining material in the suction hose
through the pump, down the return hose and into the
material bucket.
10. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum setting.
11. Remove the spray tip and guard and place them into a
container of the appropriate solvent.
12. Place the attached suction hose and return hose into the
container of water or appropriate solvent.
13. Increase the pressure to 1/2 the maximum pressure. Let the
water or solvent circulate for 2-3 minutes to flush paint out of
the pump, the suction hose and the return hose.
