Before You Start the Linestriper
1. See Flushing, page 13, to determine if the Line Lazer
should be flushed.
2. Be sure the gas tank is full.
3. Check the engine oil level.
NOTE: The engine stops automatically, or will not start,
if it is low on oil. If you try to start it again without adding
more oil, a red light (A) near the engine on/of
glows as you pull the starter rope.
4. Be sure the spark plug cable (J) is firmly pushed onto
the spark plug.
Startup
See Fig. 8.
1. When starting a sprayer that IS NOT PRIMED, re-
move the spray tip.
2. Place the suction tube (S) into the paint, water or sol-
vent container, depending on whether you are flush-
ing or are ready to spray.
3. Open the black fuel shutoff lever (E) by pushing it in
the direction of the arrow.
CAUTION
Never start the engine unless fluid pressure is re-
lieved and the pressure control switch is turned OFF.
Attempting to start the engine when it is pressurized
could damage the recoil system.
4. Turn OFF the pressure control switch (K).
5. To start the engine:
a. Turn the pressure adjusting knob (L) all the way
counterclockwise to the lowest pressure setting.
b. Slide the metal throttle lever (C) away from the
fuel tank to the maximum position (fully left).
c. If the engine is cold, close the choke by moving
the gray lever (D).
d. If the engine is warm, close the choke by moving
the gray lever (D) only half way or not at all.
e. Turn ON the engine switch (B).
WARNING
A rope that recoils too quickly may hit someone and
cause serious bodily injury. The rope could also jam
in the recoil assembly.
f.
Hold the frame of the sprayer with one hand and
pull the starter rope (G) rapidly and firmly. Con-
tinue holding the rope as you let it return. Pull and
return the rope until the engine starts.
g. Open the choke as soon as the engine starts,
except in cold weather . In cold weather , leave
the choke closed for 10 to 30 seconds before
opening it to keep the engine running.
Startup
6. Release the trigger cable and engage the gun trigger
safety latch. See page 22.
7. Remove the gun from the holder by unscrewing the
gun holder knob and lifting out the gun.
8. To start the pump:
NOTE: Lower the throttle setting for easier priming.
a. Open the pressure drain valve (R).
f switch
b. Turn ON the pressure control switch (K).
c. Turn the pressure control knob (L) about 1/4 turn
from minimum pressure. Run the pump until fluid
is flowing smoothly from the pressure drain
valve, indicating the pump is fully primed.
d. Close the pressure drain valve (R).
e. Disengage the gun safety latch. Hold a metal
part of the gun firmly against a grounded metal
pail, squeeze the trigger until fluid flows from the
gun.
f.
Release the trigger. Engage the safety latch.
NOTE: If you are using two guns, follow Step e and f,
above, for the second gun.
9. If you have not primed the sprayer with paint
move the suction tube (S) to the paint container. Re-
lease the trigger safety latch. Trigger the gun into the
water/solvent pail just until paint appears. Release
the trigger and engage the trigger safety latch. Re-
peat for the second gun, if two guns are used.
10. Place the pail cover (F) on the pail.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury from fluid in-
jection, NEVER operate the spray gun with the tip
guard removed.
11. Install the tip guard and spray tip (M). See page 16.
12. Mount the gun in the gun holder. See page 21.
13. Engage the trigger cable. See page 22.
Always use the lowest fluid pressure and the lowest
throttle setting needed. Higher settings cause exces-
sive clutch cycling, premature tip wear and prema-
ture pump wear.
14. Adjust the engine speed and pump pressure. Trigger
the gun onto a test paper to check the spray pattern
and atomization. T urn the pressure adjusting knob
(L) until you get a good pattern. Then slowly lower the
throttle setting (C) as far as you can without changing
the spray pattern.
