Operation Of Machine - Pioneer Brite Striper 2000 Instruction Manual & Parts List

OPERATION OF MACHINE

1. Check to make certain that brass bleed-off valve (located on
cross fitting) is in closed position so air will not escape.
2. Make certain that your V-belt is tight.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT BELT GUARD IN PLACE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY OR DAMAGE.
3. Test run the machine with water to see how it operates. You may
wish to practice using paint in an off-area before starting your job.
4. Start your engine. Allow compressor to build up pressure in your
paint tank from 40 to 45 PSI at which point air will automatically
release through the safety relief valve on the compressor unit.
This should only take a few minutes. Check again for loose
fittings or air leaks.
Note: The compressor unit is designed to deliver pressure between
40 to 45 PSI. A low pressure gauge is installed so that you may be
sure machine is at proper operating pressure. A safety relief valve
on the paint tank is pre-set to relieve pressure at 50 PSI ± 2 lbs.
5. It is best to operate at the lowest pressure and slowest engine
speed that is practical. This will greatly reduce wear and prevent
overspraying.
6. When done or when changing paint, always turn off machine.
7. Bleed off pressure by opening the brass bleed-off valve located
at the top of paint tank.
WARNING: ALWAYS BLEED OFF PRESSURE IN PAINT TANK BEFORE
OPENING PUMP ASSEMBLY! ! ! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE.
8. When transporting machine, do not tip on side when filled
with paint.
