Use this procedure each time you start the sprayer to
help ensure the sprayer is ready to operate and that
you start it safely.
NOTE:
If this is a first–time startup, flush the sprayer.
See page 15.
1.
Open the pressure drain valve (A).
See Fig. 6.
2.
Don’t install the spray tip until the pump is
primed!
3.
Put the suction hose (C) into the paint
. If you
are pumping from a 1 gallon (5 liter) pail, push the
drain hose (D) down below the top of the pail to
avoid splashing paint when the drain valve is
opened.
4.
Turn the pressure knob (E) to the minimum
setting.
5.
Disengage the gun safety latch.
See Fig. 2,
page 10.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of damage to the displacement
pump packings, never run the pump without fluid in
it for more than 30 seconds.
6.
To prime the pump,
turn the sprayer switch (F)
on.
Slowly increase the pressure until the sprayer
starts. When fluid comes from the pressure drain
valve, close the valve.
