General Description
This airless sprayer is a precision power tool used for spraying
many types of materials. Read and follow this instruction
manual carefully for proper operating instructions,
maintenance, and safety information.
Operation
This equipment produces a fluid stream at extremely high
pressure. Read and understand the warnings in the
Safety Precautions section at the front of this manual
before operating this equipment.
Setup
Perform the following procedure before starting the engine of a
gas-powered sprayer.
1. Ensure that the siphon tube and the return hose are
attached and secure.
2. Attach the supplied grounding cable to a grounded object.
3. Using a wrench, attach a minimum of 50’ of 3/8” nylon
airless spray hose to the 3/8” outlet fitting on the filter
assembly. Tighten securely.
4. Attach an airless spray gun to the spray hose. Using two
wrenches (one on the gun and one on the hose), tighten
securely.
Make sure all airless hoses and spray guns are electrically
grounded and rated for at least 3300 psi (22.8 MPa) fluid
pressure.
5. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
6. Make sure the pump ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
7. Fill the fluid section oil cup with approximately one
tablespoon of separating oil (P/N 0279920).
Never operate unit for more than ten seconds without
fluid. Operating this unit without fluid will cause
unnecessary wear to the packings.
CAUTION
WARNING
NOTE: Do not attach the tip to the spray gun yet.
Remove the tip if it is already attached.
NOTE: USE 3/8” SPRAY HOSE FOR MAXIMUM
PERFORMANCE, MINIMUM PRESSURE DROP,
AND MINIMUM PRESSURE FLUCTUATION.

8. Check the engine oil level. The gasoline engine oil level
is determined by the manufacturer. Refer to the engine
manufacturer's service manual (supplied).
9. Close the fuel shut-off lever and fill the gas tank with
gasoline. Use only high quality, unleaded gasoline.
Preparing a New Sprayer
If this unit is new, it is shipped with test fluid in the fluid section
to prevent corrosion during shipment and storage. This fluid
must be thoroughly cleaned out of the system with mineral
spirits before you begin spraying.
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of mineral spirits
that has a flash point of 60ºC (140ºF) or above.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the PRIME position.
5. Move the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
6. Start the engine:
a. Open the fuel valve
lever.
b. Move the throttle
lever away from the
gas tank.
c. Close the engine
choke lever.
d. Holding the frame
with one hand, pull
the starter rope
rapidly and firmly. Continue to hold the rope as you let it
return. Pull and return the rope until the engine starts.
7. Turn on the sprayer by moving
the pump ON/OFF switch to the
ON position.
8. Slowly turn the pressure control
knob clockwise to increase the
pressure until fluid starts to
come out of the return hose.
Use only enough pressure to
keep the fluid coming out.
9. Allow the sprayer to run for
15–30 seconds to flush the test fluid out through the
return hose and into the waste container.
10. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting.
11. Turn off the sprayer by moving the pump ON/OFF switch
to the OFF position.
Preparing to Paint
Before painting, it is important to make sure that the fluid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent for the material being sprayed (refer to
recommendations of the material manufacturer). An
example of the appropriate solvent is water for latex paint.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
CAUTION
NOTE: Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the
valves to become stuck closed, which would
require disassembly and cleaning of the
sprayer’s fluid section.
