NOTE: If the sprayer is being operated in an area that is
overloaded by other appliances or low voltage
conditions, it is important to start the sprayer
"unloaded." Tip the electric motor forward so
that the belt is loosened and the motor starts
without full load. This reduces the amperage
draw on starting and may avoid tripping the
circuit breaker.
8. Make sure the sprayer is grounded. All sprayers are
equipped with a grounding lug. A grounding cable (not
supplied) should be used to connect the sprayer to a true
earth ground. Check your local electrical regulations for
detailed grounding instructions. See the Accessories
and Service Kits section near the back of this manual for
grounding cable ordering information.
Proper grounding is important. This applies to
both gas and electric powered models. The
passage of some materials through the nylon fluid
hose will build up a static electric charge, which if
discharged, could ignite solvent vapors present
and create an explosion.
9. Strain all paints with a nylon strainer to ensure trouble free
operation and freedom from frequent cleaning of the inlet
screen and gun filter.
10 Make sure the spray area is well ventilated to prevent
hazardous operation with volatile solvents or exhaust
fumes.
If lacquer or other flammable materials are to be
sprayed, aLWaYS locate the sprayer outside the
immediate spraying area. Failure to do so may
cause an explosion.
11. Locate the unit outside the immediate spraying area to
avoid clogged air intake of the engine or electric motor
with overspray.

Preparing a new sprayer
If this sprayer 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.
IMPORTaNT: 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.
2. Place the bleed hose into a metal waste container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise.
Hydraulic Shut-off
Valve (in open
position)
4. Open the hydraulic shut-off valve located on the hydraulic
pressure hose. The handle should be in line with the
hose.
5. Open the bleed valve by rotating the bleed valve handle
fully counterclockwise.
6. Start the engine or turn on the electric motor.
a.
To start the gas
engine,
•
move the fuel valve
lever to the open
position,
•
move the throttle
lever to its middle
point,
•
move the choke lever
to the closed position
for a cold engine or
to the open position
for a warm engine,
•
turn the engine switch to the ON position, and
•
pull the starter rope briskly until the engine starts.
b.
To start the electric motor, move the ON/OFF switch to
the ON position.
7. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise approximately
1/3 of the way down to increase pressure until the sprayer
cycles evenly and solvent flows freely from the bleed
hose.
8. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30 seconds to flush the
test fluid out through the bleed hose and into the waste
container.
9. Turn off the sprayer.
a.
To turn off the gas engine,
•
set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise,
•
move the throttle lever to the slow position, and
•
turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
b.
To turn off the electric motor,
•
set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise,
•
move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
