Mixing Material

NOTE: Correct material mixture is essential.
The pump will not operate if the mixture is too
thick. Use water-based materials only.
•
Mix the material in a separate container
before pouring it into hopper.
•
Use Material Thickness Gauge to
determine if mixture is thin enough to
spray.
•
The Material Thickness Gauge will only

determine if the material is thin enough
to pass through the pump. For some
applications or for higher speed
spraying, your mixture may need to be
thinner.
•
If thicker materials are desired, test
pumping performance first. Then spray a
test pattern.
•
For best results, do not use partial bags
of material.
1. Mix the material and water in a
separate container.
Dry Mix - 40 lb (18 kg) bag
