INSTALLATION

1. Set the air pressure regulator on the air compressor to 90 PSI. Do not exceed the tool's recommended
air pressure. Excess pressure could result in damage to the tool, to your work piece or serious injury.
2. Prepare a standard 1/4" air connector for use with your tool. Wrap the threaded portion of the air
connector with thread tape. Attach it to the tool's air inlet. Tighten securely.
3. Attach a standard quick connector to the air source's hose. Attach the air hose to the tool.
Note :
If you are not using an in-line oiler, add a few drops of air tool oil in the tool's air inlet before use. In the same
manner, add a few drops after every hour of use.
4. Check the air line and its connections for air leaks. Do not use this tool until you have repaired all air
leaks.
Note:
Turn off the air compressor, disconnect the air pressure hose and discharge any residual pressure inside
the tool before changing accessories or making any adjustments to the tool. Failure to do so could result in
severe injury, tool or property damage.
ASSEMBLY
1. Connect the regulator assembly to the swivel adapter on the tank lid. Check bottom of regulator
for location of tank connec tion.
2. Insert the lift handle into the threaded hole in the center of the tank lid. Tighten the hex nut.
3. Connect the air supply hose to an air inlet fitting on the tank regulator (right or left side optional.)
4. Attach the atomization air hose to an air outlet fitting which is directly opposite air inlet fitting.
5. Connect material hose to the fluid outlet adapter located on the tank lid.

OPERATION

1. Before filling the tank with material, thoroughly mix and strain the paint to remove skins or
undissolved particles witch might otherwise block the flow of material through the hose and gun.
A one gallon can of paint can be set inside the tank instead of pouring the paint into the tank.
2. Place lid assembly on tank and hand tighten tank lid clamp screws.
3. Shut off the paint tank regulator by turning T-handle counter-clockwise. Adjust the compressor
regulator to obtain the desired air pressure on the spray gun.
4. Now adjust the regulator on the paint tank to obtain the desired air pressure for the material. The
higher above the paint tank you are spraying, the more pressure you will need on the material. Normal
operating pressure on the paint tank is 25 to 30 PSI. Should you wish to reduce pressure, simply rotate
the T-handle adjusting screw counter clockwise until the desired pressure setting is obtained. There is no
need to trigger the gun in order to bleed off excess paint pressure.
Warning: Do not use over 80 PSI air pressure in your tank.
