a. Tip Wear Indicator
— when spraying with latex or at
high pressure the solid yellow appears. This means the
tip is worn and needs to be replaced.
b. Tip Too Large —
when a tip that is too large for the
sprayer is put in the gun, the pressure indicator will turn
from solid green to solid yellow.
c. Fluid Section Wear —
if a solid yellow pressure
indicator appears when using a new tip and the
pressure is set at maximum, service may be required
(worn packings, worn piston, stuck valve, etc...).
Solid Green
When the pressure indicator is solid green, the sprayer is
operating between 1901 and 3300 PSI. A solid green pressure
indicator means:
• The sprayer is at the proper pressure setting for spraying
oil-based and latex house paints
• The sprayer is operating at peak performance at a high
pressure setting for airless spraying
Motor Running Indicator
The Motor Running indicator is on when the motor is commanded
to run. This indicator is used by service centers to troubleshoot
motor problems.
Pressure Relief Procedure
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure
when shutting the unit down for any purpose,
including servicing or adjusting any part of the
spray system, changing or cleaning spray tips, or
preparing for cleanup.
1. Make sure the pressure control knob is in its OFF position
in the white zone.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the
PRIME position.
3. Trigger the gun to remove any pressure
that still may be in the hose.
4. Lock the gun by flipping the trigger
lock into lock position (see spray gun
manual).
Injection hazard. Do not spray without the tip
guard in place. NEvER trigger the gun unless the
tip is completely turned to either the spray or the
unclog position. aLWayS engage the gun trigger
lock before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.
Spraying Technique
The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire
surface. This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm
moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant
distance from the surface. The best spraying distance is 10 to 12
inches between the spray tip and the surface.
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed.
Even coat throughout
Approximately
10 to 12 inches
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means
moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing
your wrist.
Heavy Coat
Do not flex wrist while spraying.
Light Coat
Light Coat
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one
end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
The spray gun should be triggered by turning it on and off with
each stroke. This will save paint and avoid paint buildup at
the end of the stroke. Do not trigger the gun during the middle
of a stroke. This will result in an uneven spray and splotchy
coverage.
Proper way to trigger the spray gun
Aproximately
10 to 12 inches
Keep stroke
even
Start stroke
End stroke
Pull trigger
Release trigger
Keep steady
Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even
coating.
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the
pressure control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting and
set the priming knob to PRIME. Turn the motor switch to OFF
and unplug the sprayer.
