CAUTION
To avoid tip-over, the cart must be on a flat and level
surface. Failure to follow this caution could result in
injury or equipment damage.
Prime the Pump
1. See Fig. 3. Remove the tip guard and spray tip
from the gun (17). See the gun instruction manual.
2. Close the air filter/regulator (H) and bleed-type air
valves (B, F).
3. Close the return line valve (7).
4. Connect the air line to the air inlet swivel (G).
5. Check that all fittings throughout the system are
tightened securely.
6. Place the pump suction tube (26) and the fluid
return tube (10) into the fluid supply container.
7. Open the bleed-type air valves (B, F).
8. Hold a metal part of the gun (17) firmly to the side
of a grounded metal pail and hold the trigger open.
9. Slowly open the air filter/regulator (H) until the
pump starts.
10. Cycle the pump slowly until all air is pushed out
and the pump and hoses are fully primed.
11. Release the gun trigger and lock the trigger safety.
The pump should stall against pressure.

Operation
Set the Air and Fluid Pressure
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 9.
1. Relieve the pressure. Install the tip guard and
spray tip in the gun, as explained in the gun manu-
al.
2. Open the air filter/regulator (H) slowly. Use the
regulator to control pump speed and fluid pres-
sure. Always use the lowest air pressure neces-
sary to get the desired results. Higher pressures
cause premature tip and pump wear.
NOTE: To open the air filter/regulator, turn the
T-handle in (clockwise). To close the regulator, turn the
handle counterclockwise. To lock the regulator setting,
tighten the jam nut.
exceed the specified Maximum Incoming Air Pres-
sure to the pump (see the Technical Data, on
page 16).
3. With the pump and lines primed, and with ade-
quate air pressure and volume supplied, the pump
will start and stop as you open and close the gun.
Do not allow the pump to run dry. It will quickly
accelerate to a high speed, causing damage. If your
pump is running too fast, stop it immediately and
check the fluid supply. If the container is empty and
air has been pumped into the lines, refill the con-
tainer and prime the pump and the lines, or flush and
leave it filled with a compatible solvent. Eliminate all
air from the fluid system.
