Installation Installation Prepare the Operator • The air pressure relief valve (P) opens automatically to prevent overpressurization of the pump. All persons who operate the equipment must be trained in the safe, efficient operation of all system components • The gun air regulator (E) adjusts the air pressure as well as the proper handling of all fluids.
Installation Wall Mount Packages 1. Be sure the wall can support the weight of the pump, bracket, hoses and accessories, as well as the stress caused during operation. 2. Position the wall bracket at a convenient height. Do not stretch the suction hose tight; let it hang to assist fluid flow into the pump.
Installation Setup 1. See F . 2. Attach one end of fluid hose (K) to pump 4. Attach remaining end of the air hose to air inlet at outlet (or optional inline fluid filter outlet). base of gun (H). 2. Attach other end of fluid hose to gun fluid inlet at 5.
Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure Trigger Lock Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle See F . 3. Always engage gun trigger lock when you unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury stop spraying to prevent gun from being triggered from skin injection, splashing or moving parts.
