Extension Cord Selection
If an extension cord is used, make sure that it is of the 3-
conductor type with NEMA connectors so a continuous
grounding circuit is provided from the tool to the power circuit
receptacle. Also, be sure that the conductor size is large
enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause
loss of power and possible motor damage to the unit. A table
of recommended extension cord sizes is shown below.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked
with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation. For
example, SJTW-A to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor
use.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. A 14 or 12 gauge cord is
recommended.
Introduction
The CS10000 HVLP spray system is designed for use as a
large capacity, fine finish spray painting tool. Components of
the spray system include a dual-head compressor, a cart, a
compressor air outlet, a pressure switch, a pressure pot, a
pressure pot air inlet, and a pressure pot material outlet.
NOTE: The dual-head compressor can be used to
supply air for other air-powered tools. A tee
fitting on the compressor air outlet allows the
installation of an additional regulator.

NOTE: Do not use more than 100 feet of extension
cord. If you need to paint further than 100 feet
from your power source, use more paint hose,
not more extension cord. Shorter extension
cords will ensure maximum electrical power
for proper operation.

Setup
Connecting the Spray System
1. Make sure the ON/OFF lever on the pressure switch is on
the OFF position.
2. Connect the compressor hose from the lower storage tank
to the pressure pot air inlet.
3. Thread the end of the material hose onto the pressure pot
material outlet and tighten.
4. Thread the other end of the material hose onto the spray
gun material inlet and tighten.
5. Connect the air hose to compressor air outlet.
6. Thread the other end of the air hose onto the spray gun
air inlet and tighten.
