Strain the Paint

Disposable paint strainer bags are used to
remove coarse particles and debris from
new or previously opened paint or stain, and
are available where paint is sold. To avoid
priming problems and Spray Tip clogs it is
recommended to strain all paints and stains
before spraying. Stretch a disposable paint
strainer bag over a clean pail and pour the
paint through the strainer.
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins
into the body and cause serious bodily
injury. Do not stop leaks with hand or rag.

Fill Pump (Prime Pump)

The Prime/Spray Valve directs the fluid to
either the Drain Tube or the hose and gun. It
is
used to prime the sprayer, which means to
evacuate the air out of the pump, hose, and
gun.
Your gun will not spray if there is air in the
system. It is necessary to prime the pump,
hose, and gun any time air enters the suction
tube.
1. Move Suction Tube to paint pail and
submerge Suction Tube in paint.
