SET-UP
WARNING:
Be sure to use appropriate
protective gear and unplug unit.
WARNING:
Make sure area is well
ventilated and free of flammable vapors.
ALIGNING THE PICKUP TUBE -
(FIGURES B AND B1)
The pickup tube can be aligned in the
direction that you will be doing the most
spraying to help minimize the amount of
times that you will have to refill the canister.
• If you are spraying at an upward angle or
straight on, position the pickup tube
(
figure B
) toward the back of the canister.
• If you are spraying at a downward angle,
position the pickup tube (
figure B1
) toward
the front of the canister.
This will ensure you spray as much material
as possible before you need to refill.
ATTACHING THE AIR HOSE - (FIGURES C
AND C1)
• Insert one end of the air hose into the back
of the sprayer. A slight twisting action when
inserting the hose will help insure a snug fit.
• Insert the other end of the air hose into the
back of the power unit. A slight twisting
action when inserting the hose will help
insure a snug fit.
LIQUID MATERIAL PREPARATION -
(FIGURES D, D1 AND D2)
TIP: Make sure the type of material you
use can be cleaned with either mineral
spirits or paint thinner (for oil-based
paints) or a warm water and soap solution
(for water soluble paints like latex). Use
drop cloths during pouring, mixing, and
viscosity testing of materials to be
sprayed to protect your floors and
anything else in the spraying area that
you wish to remain untouched.
The liquid being sprayed may need to be
thinned (diluted) before starting. When
thinning, use the proper liquid thinner
recommended on the container by the
material manufacturer.
WARNING:
Do not use materials with
a flashpoint higher than 60°C (140°F) .
A 2-
3
/
4
quart mixing bucket is provided
to use when transferring spray material from the original container into the bucket for thinning and measuring
purposes (
figure D
).
A viscosity test cup is provided to determine the “runout time” of the material being used.
• Before measuring for the proper viscosity, stir the material throughly.
• Dip the viscosity cup into the material being sprayed and fill the cup completely.
• With the cup held over the material container, measure the amount of time it takes for the stream of material flowing
out to “break” or stop being a constant stream out of the bottom of the cup (2 minutes or less) (
figure D1
). This is the
“runout time” Refer to the thinning table for information on the thinning required for different materials.
