Startup
NOTE: Refer to Fig. 1 as you start the sprayer.
NOTE: When starting a sprayer that IS NOT PRIMED,
remove the spray tip.
1.
Be sure the gas tank is full. Open the black fuel
shutoff lever (G).
2.
Check the engine oil level.
NOTE: The engine stops automatically if it is low on
oil. If you try to start it again without adding more oil, a
red light on the rear of the engine glows as you pull the
starter rope.
3.
Place the suction tube (S) into the paint
container.
4.
Turn the pressure control switch (A) to OFF.
5.
Open the black fuel shutoff lever (G) by pushing
it in the direction of the arrow.
6.
Be sure the spark plug cable (F) is firmly
pushed onto the spark plug.
CAUTION
Never attempt to start the engine unless fluid pres-
sure is relieved and the pressure control is turned
OFF. Attempting to start the engine when it is pres-
surized will damage the recoil system.
7.
To start the engine:
a.
Turn the pressure adjusting knob (B) all the
way counterclockwise to the lowest pressure
setting.
b.
Pull the metal throttle lever (J) away from
the fuel tank to the maximum position (fully
left).
c.
If the engine is cold, close the gray choke
lever (H), located beneath the air cleaner.
If the engine is warm, close the choke only
half way or not at all.
d.
Turn the engine switch to ON.
WARNING
A rope which recoils too quickly may hit someone
and cause serious bodily injury. The rope could
also jam in the recoil assembly.
e.
Grasp the starter rope. Holding the frame of
the sprayer with one hand, pull the rope rapidly
and firmly. Continue holding the rope as you
let it return. Pull and return the rope until the
engine starts.
f.
Open the choke (H) as soon as the engine
starts. In cold weather, leave the choke closed
for 10 to 30 seconds before opening it to keep
the engine running.
8.
Disengage the gun safety latch. See Fig. 4.
