Operation

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 return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob to the "MIN" setting.

6. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30
seconds to flush the test fluid out through
the return hose and into the waste container.
7. Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position.

Preparing to Paint

Before painting, it is important to make sure that the fluid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.
NOTE: Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the
valves to become stuck closed, which would
require disassembly and cleaning of the
sprayer's fluid section.
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 the appropriate
solvent. Examples of the appropriate solvent are water for
latex paint or mineral spirits for oil-based paints.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob to the "MIN" setting.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to the PRIME
position.
NOTE: hold the return hose in the waste
container when moving the PRIME/
SPRay valve to PRIME in case the
sprayer is pressurized.
5. Turn on the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF
switch to the ON position.
6. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30 seconds to flush the
old solvent out through the return hose and into the metal
waste container.
7. Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position.
NOTE: Make sure that the spray gun does not have a tip

(see spray gun manual).
13. Set down the gun and increase the pressure by turning
the pressure control knob slowly clockwise.
14. Check the entire system for leaks. If leaks occur, follow
the "Pressure Relief Procedure" in this manual before
tightening any fittings or hoses.
15. Follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" in this manual
before changing from solvent to paint.
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure
when shutting down the sprayer for any purpose,
including servicing or adjusting any part of the
spray system, changing or cleaning spray tips, or
preparing for cleanup.
