The AIRLESSCO SL SERIES of airless paint sprayers are a culmination of years of development work resulting in a new class of airless sprayers. Incorporated into the design is Airlessco's proven Slow Stroking Paint Pump, a new low speed, quiet gear system and a DC Motor that stays cool even when you run long extension cords.

SPRAY TECHNIQUE TOTAL SPRAYGUN MOVEMENT - arm movement - full sweep TRIGGER TRIGGER POINT POINT It is important to "trigger" the gun after gun movement (arm movement) has started and release trigger (shut gun off) before gun movement ends. Gun movement is always longer than actual paint (spray) stroke.
AIRLESS SPRAY GUN OPERATION DEFECTS CAUSE CORRECTION Coarse spray Low pressure Increase the pressure. Excessive fogging High pressure Reduce the pressure to satisfactory pattern distribution. (overspray) Material too thin Use less thinner. Pattern too wide Spray angle too large Use smaller spray angle tip. Pattern too narrow Spray angle too small Use larger spray angle tip (if coverage is OK, try tip...

REGULAR MAINTENANCE Always stop the pump at the bottom of its' stroke when you take a break at the end of the day. This helps keep material from drying on the rod and damaging the packings. Keep the displacement pump packing nut/wet cup 1/3 full of TSO at all times. The TSO helps protect the packings and rod.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION There is spitting from the gun. The fluid supply is low or empty. Refill the supply container. Air entrapped in the fluid pump Check for loose connections on the of hose. siphon assembly, tighten, then re- prime pump.

TROUBLESHOOTING - Machine does not Start CAUSE SOLUTION Pressure Setting STEP 1: Ensure ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position and the Pressure Control Knob is fully CW (maximum pressure) and that the unit is plugged in. STEP 2: Loosen the pressure control unit on the back of the machine. Check if the green power light on the board is lit.
PRESSURE CONTROL UNIT Note: Anytime a sensor, pressure control unit or both are replaced, the first three calibrations must be performed. 1. ZERO CALIBRATION 1. Place prime/pressure relief valve in the prime (open) position. 2. Set the pressure control knob to the minimum setting (CCW). 3.

REPLACEMENT OF POTENTIOMETER 1. Ensure that the machine is OFF and unplugged. 2. Detach the pressure control unit from the frame by unscrewing the eight screws. 3. Unplug potentiometer lead from the pressure control unit. 4. Use 1/16" allen wrench to loosen the set screw on the potentiometer knob and remove knob and spacer.
SERVICING FLUID PUMP Note: Check everything in the Troubleshooting Chart before disassembling the sprayer. FLUID PUMP DISCONNECT Flush out the material you are spraying, if possible. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on Page 6. Stop the pump in the middle of down stroke. Remove the suction tube and fluid hose (if so equipped) from the fluid pump.

SERVICING UPPER & LOWER CHECK VALVES LOWER CHECK VALVE (SEE FIG. 8 & 10) 1. Screw the lower check valve nut (187-018) out of the pump FIG. 8 housing (187-313) containing intake seat support (187-017). 2. Remove the intake seat (187-065), O-ring (187-034), intake ball (187-020) and retainer (187-016).
V - PACKING REPLACEMENT FIG. 9 1. Remove the fluid pump as per the "Fluid Pump Discon- nect" instructions on page 22. 2. Unscrew and remove the lower check valve per instruc- tions on page 23. 3. Unscrew & remove the packing nut (187-046). Push the piston rod down through the packings and out of the pump.
REPLACEMENT OF BELT/BELT ADJUSTMENT FIG. 11 NOTE: The Cog Belt System does not require alignment. When upper sheave is placed on motor shaft it is pushed on until a positive stop DEFLECTION is reached. The set screws (Fig. 16, Item 30) are then loctited.
