Operation

SAFETY OFF
D The Contractort Inline Valve can be used as an
airless spray gun by attaching a Handtitet Guard
and RAC5 Switchtip.
1. Follow pump priming instructions using lowest
pressure setting at which pump primes.
2. Turn prime/spray valve to SPRAY position.
3. Disengage inline valve safety latch, trigger the
inline valve, and roll the surface until paint comes
to roller.
NOTE: Trigger the inline valve briefly only when
you need more paint. Determine how often you
must trigger the inline valve to maintain an even
paint supply to the roller.
4. Increase pump pressure only if triggering inline
valve cannot supply enough paint for your rolling
speed.
Relieve pressure, page 3,
whenever you stop painting.
5.
Elevate roller end of
extension tube to prevent
paint from draining out.
Flush pump, inline valve, and roller frame immediately
after each use to prevent paint from drying in roller
frame and damaging it.
