PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
HOSE SAFETY
Tighten all fluid connections securely before each use.
Never use a damaged hose. Before each use, check entire
hose for cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulding cover, or damage or
movement of the hose couplings. If any of these conditions
exist, replace the hose inmediately.
SPRAY GUN
It is recommended strain the fluid you are spaying if it
contains particles which could clog the spray tip.
CLEANING THE SPRAY TIP
Clean off the front of the tip frequently during the day’s
operation and at the end of the work day. Always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 3. Then use a solvent soaked
brush to clean the spray tip and to keep fluid buildup from drying
and clogging the spray tip.
If the spray tip clogs while spraying, release the spray
gun trigger, engage the trigger safety, shut off the pump, and
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure.
Remove the spray tip and blow out the obstructions with air
from the front of the spray tip.
Normal daily flushing of your spray system and gun
flushes away most buildup on the filter. However, you should
remove the filter frequently and clean it.
FLUSHING THE GUN
Relieve pressure, remove the spray tip, and then flush
the gun and spray system with a compatible solvent. Always
flush the gun before the fluid being sprayed can dry in it.
Engage the gun safety latch.
Shut off the air to the pump.
Close the air inlet valve.
Disengage the gun safety latch.
Hold a metal part of the gun firmily to the
side of a grounded metal pail, and trigger
the gun safety latch.
Engage the gun safety latch.
Open the drain valve, having a grounded
metal container ready to catch the drainage.
Leave the drain valve open until you are
ready to spray again.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Follow all instructions above, be sure that fittings at pump
outlet and at gun are tight. Use two wrench to tighten the main
fitting. Do not install the spray tip at this time.
Fill the packing nut with oil to help prolong the packing
life.
Put the suction tube into the paint container. Flush the
pump with a compatible solvent before using it.
Open the air inlet valve. Disengage the gun safety and
trigger the spray gun into a grounded metal pail, and slowly
open the air supply valve until the pump stars (about 3 or 4
bar). The lines are purged when the fluid emitted from the gun
is flowing in a steady stream. Engage the gun safety, shut off
the air inlet valve then install the spray tip in the gun.
Open the air inlet valve. When the pump and the lines
are primed, and adequate air pressure and volume are supplied,
the pump will start and stop as the spray gun is triggered and
released.
Disengage the gun safety and you are now ready to
spray!!
