Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information about your material, request MSDS from distributor or retailer. D Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine ASM replacement parts only. D Do not alter or modify equipment.
Grounding and Electric Requirements The sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in the event of a short circuit. D The sprayer requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz, 15A circuit ti3001b with grounding receptacle.

Grounding and Electric Requirements D Ground solvent pails used when flushing. Follow local code. Use only conductive, metal pails, placed on a grounded surface such as concrete. Do not place the pail on a non–conductive surface such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity. ti5850a D Ground the metal pail by connecting a ground wire to the pail by clamping one end to pail and the other end to...
Pressure Relief Procedure 1. Turn power switch OFF and unplug power cord. 2. Turn Spray–Prime/Drain valve to PRIME/ DRAIN to relieve pressure. PRIME 3. Turn pressure to lowest setting. Hold metal part of gun firmly to a grounded metal pail. Trigger gun to relieve pressure.
Setup 1. Turn power switch OFF. 2. Connect one end of grounded fluid hose to Combo Gun. Use a wrench to tighten. NOTE: The Combo Gun can be used as an airless spray gun for small jobs by attaching a Super Zip Base and tip. For larger jobs the sprayer can be used for airless spraying by attaching an airless spray gun rated at 2800 psi...

Motor Diagnostics Check for electrical continuity in the motor armature, windings, and brush as follows: If Motor Diagnostics reveal a damaged motor, or if either of the motor brushes are shorter than 1/4 in. (6.4 mm), or if the motor shaft cannot turn, replace the motor using Motor Kit 245080. Setup 1.
Pump Diagnostics CAUTION When repairing or cleaning the pump, never submerge the pump in water or allow fluid to enter the pressure control. When the pump packings wear, paint begins to leak down the outside of the pump. Replace the pump packings at the first sign of leaking, or additional damage to the drive train could occur.
