CAUTION: Liquid capacity works well with oil and solvent based materials. Do not use water
or water based materials in this steel sprayer.
CAUTION: Never point the nozzle of sprayer toward yourself or another person. Always point the
nozzle of the sprayer away from yourself and toward your intended target before depressing the trigger.
PLEASE NOTE: Nozzle in the operating position is set for regular mist. For pinstream, remove
the #2 spiral with needle nose pliers. The #10 filler cap now comes with a special chemical resistant
valve core and uses a regular right hand thread. Water and rust causing solutions, or solutions which
are not compatible with steel, should not be used in this sprayer, and will void your warranty.
OPERATION
TOP LOAD WITH
PRESSURIZE WITH
LIGHT LIQUIDS
AIR CHUCK
ALWAYS DEPRESSURIZE SPRAYER BEFORE REMOVING ANY PARTS. SPRAYER NOT
RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH PAINTS. MAXIMUM PRESSURE 200 PSI
1. The pressure may be let out of the sprayer one of the two following ways:
a) Tip the sprayer upside down and depress the trigger until no pressure is left. If some liquidis left in the
sprayer when you attempt this procedure make sure you aim the nozzle at a place where a little bit of
liquid can be expelled.
b) Remove #8 black cap from filler cap and use small probe to depress #9 valve core until all the
pressure escapes. NOTE: Make sure the sprayer is upright and the filler cap stem is pointing away
from you when depressing the valve core.
2) Remove the 15/16 in. hex filler cap once all the air has been let out of the sprayer.
3) Fill sprayer 2/3 full (32 ounce maximum liquid capacity) with light, clean liquid.
Make sure the liquid you are putting into the sprayer is CLEAN and FREE OF FOREIGN PARTICLES.
4) Replace 15/16 in. hex filler cap and tighten.
5) Charge sprayer with compressed air by holding standard air chuck on valve stem of the filler cap.
Hold the air chuck on the filler cap until you hear the line pressure equalize with the sprayer.
Working pressure is 80-150 psi. At least 80 psi is needed to spray the full 32 oz. without a recharge of air.
6) The sprayer is now ready to use.
7) For best results, the liquid to be sprayed should be lighter than a No. 10 motor oil. (If liquid is
too heavy a pin stream will result). DILUTE WITH A SUITABLE DILUENT UNTIL DESIRED
SPRAY IS OBTAINED.
NOTE: ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR CHEMICAL SUPPLIER IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF
COMPATIBILITY. READ CAUTION LABEL ON SPRAYER BEFORE FILLING.
