Preparation Preparation Pressure Relief Procedure Open air control valve. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol. This equipment stays pressurized until ti27341a pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized On the RTX2000pi, open gun prime fluid or splashed fluid follow the Pressure valve.
Preparation • NOTE: Lighter gauge or longer extension “Soft” refers to the function where the cords may reduce sprayer performance. sprayer slowly starts the pump. This prevents a large “splotch” of material Auxiliary Air Compressor from being discharged from the gun when trigger is pulled after the sprayer Do not use an auxiliary air compressor with has sat idle for a period of time.
Setup Setup Connect material hose to gun. NOTICE • Do not store sprayer under pressure. ti27344a • Do not allow material to dry inside pump, hoses, gun or spray system. Make sure burp guard is installed. • When operating a RTX1400SI and you are going to stop spraying for more than five minutes turn sprayer OFF to prevent shortened pump life.

Setup Pour one gallon (four liters) of water into 10. Point gun into waste bucket and pull the material hopper. trigger to pump water through the system. Continue to trigger gun until material hopper is empty. NOTICE To prevent pump damage, before adding material or starting unit in cold weather, run warm water through the pump.
Mixing Material Mixing Material Premix Slowly add approximately 2 to 4 quarts (1.9 to 3.8 liters) of water to a 5 gallon (18.9 liter) bucket of premix. NOTE: Correct material mixture is essential. The pump will not operate if the mixture is too thick.

Operation • To achieve uniform spray pattern, adjust air When you first start to spray, hold the valve and flow adjustment nut on gun. If you gun away from the surface and gradually do not achieve the desired pattern, change work your way closer to it.
Shutdown and Cleanup Shutdown and Cleanup NOTE: Keep pump and hose clean when switching between simulated acoustic, knockdown and orange peel applications. A dirty pump can release particles of texture into the finish. ti27383a • To increase pump life, life turn power OFF when not spraying.
Shutdown and Cleanup Spray inside material hopper to circulate water through gun and hose. While circulating water, use gun to clean material hopper. ti27340a 10. Open gun air valve. Perform pressure relief procedure, Pressure Relief Procedure, page 9. Partially open gun air valve to use air to Air hose fittings can get hot.
Shutdown and Cleanup Plug opening on bottom of material hopper with your hand. NOTICE Water or material remaining in unit when temperatures are below freezing can damage motor and/or delay pump startup. Do not allow unit to freeze. To ensure water and material are com- pletely drained out of unit: Remove material hose from sprayer.
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 prevent trouble in the future. Activity Interval Inspect motor shield vents for blockage. Daily or each time you spray Check sprayer stall (RTX2000pi only).
