Preparing to Paint
Before painting, it is important to make sure that the fluid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.
NOTE: Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the
valves to become stuck closed, which would
require disassembly and cleaning of the
sprayer's fluid section.
IMPORTaNT: always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun
in the locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent. Examples of the appropriate solvent are water for
latex paint or mineral spirits for oil-based paints.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste
container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the
pressure control knob to the "Min" setting in
the yellow zone.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to
the PRIME position.
NOTE: hold the return hose in the waste
container when moving the
PRIME/SPRaY valve to PRIME in
case the sprayer is pressurized.
5. Turn on the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
ON position.
6. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30 seconds to flush the
old solvent out through the return hose and into the metal
waste container.
7. Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position.
NOTE: Make sure that the spray gun does not have a tip
or tip guard installed.
8. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to the
SPRAY position.
9. Turn on the sprayer.
10. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger
lock to the unlocked position.
Ground the gun by holding it
against the edge of the metal
container while flushing. Failure to
do so may lead to a static electric
discharge, which may cause a fire.
11. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until the old
solvent is gone and fresh solvent is coming out of the gun.
12. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger
lock to the locked position.
13. Set down the gun and increase the
pressure by turning the pressure
control knob slowly clockwise into the
green zone.
14. Check the entire system for leaks. If
leaks occur, follow the "Pressure Relief
Procedure" in this manual before tightening any fittings or
hoses.
15. Follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" in this manual
before changing from solvent to paint.
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure
when shutting down the sprayer for any purpose,
including servicing or adjusting any part of the
spray system, changing or cleaning spray tips, or
preparing for cleanup.
