high pressure. Read and understand the warnings
in the Safety Precautions section at the front of this
manual before operating this equipment.

Setup

Perform the following procedure before plugging in the power cord
of an electric sprayer.
NOTE: If the sprayer will be used for spraying textured
products, removal of the inlet screen in the foot
