Setup Setup Use wrenches to tighten securely. Engage trigger lock. When unpacking sprayer for the first time or after long term storage perform setup procedure. When first setup is performed remove shipping plug from fluid outlet. Connect airless hose to fluid outlet. Use ti29455a wrenches to tighten securely.

Setup 10. Turn prime valve down. 15. Turn prime valve horizontal. Disengage trigger lock. ti29641a 11. Place fluid intake with drain tube in grounded metal pail partially filled with flushing fluid. See Grounding, page 9. NOTE: New sprayers are shipped with storage fluid that must be flushed out with mineral spirits prior to using the sprayer.
Startup Startup Place fluid intake in paint pail. Place drain tube in waste pail. Turn pressure control 1/2 turn to start motor. Allow paint to circulate through sprayer until paint flows out the drain tube. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10. Turn pressure control to lowest pressure.
Page 16
Startup Hold gun against grounded metal waste pail. Trigger gun at least 1 minute until paint appears. High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. Do not stop leaks with hand or rag. Inspect Airless Hose and hose connections for leaks.
Operation Operation Spray Tip Installation Screw assembly onto gun. Tighten. To avoid serious injury from skin injection do not put your hand in front of the spray tip when installing or removing the spray tip and tip guard. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10.
Operation Clear Tip Clog Hold gun perpendicular, 10-12 in. (25-30 cm) from surface. Spray back and forth; overlap by 50%. To avoid injury, never point gun at your hand or into a rag! In the event that particles or debris clog the spray tip, this sprayer is designed with a reversible spray tip that quickly and easily clears the particles without disassembling the...

Operation Cleanup Place fluid intake in flushing fluid. Use water for water base paint and mineral spirits for oil-based paint. Place drain tube in waste pail. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10. Remove tip guard and Spray Tip. For additional information, see separate gun manual.
Page 22
Operation Raise fluid intake above flushing fluid. 13. Remove filter from gun and sprayer if installed. Clean and inspect. Install filter. See separate gun manual. ti29545a 14. If flushing with water, flush again with mineral spirits or Pump Conditioner to leave a protective coating to prevent freezing or corrosion.
Maintenance Maintenance Routine maintenance is important to ensure proper operation of your sprayer. Maintenance includes performing routine actions which keep your sprayer in operation and prevents trouble in the future. Activity Interval Inspect/clean sprayer filter, fluid inlet strainer, and gun Daily or each time you spray filter.
