Painting

1. Place the siphon tube into a container of paint.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its
lowest pressure setting.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the PRIME position.
5. Move the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
6. Start the engine:
a. Open the fuel valve lever.
b. Move the throttle lever away from the gas tank.

the rope until the engine starts.
7. Turn on the sprayer by moving the sprayer ON/OFF switch to
the ON position.
8. Slowly turn the pressure control knob clockwise to increase
the pressure until fluid starts to come out of the return hose.
Use only enough pressure to keep the fluid coming out.
9. Allow the sprayer to run until paint is coming through the
return hose into the metal waste container.
10. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its
lowest setting.
11. Turn off the sprayer by moving the sprayer ON/OFF switch to
the OFF position.

in its operating position above the container of paint.

pressure.
16. 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.
17. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until all air and
solvent is flushed from the spray hose and paint is flowing
freely from the gun.
18. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
19. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its
lowest setting.
20. Turn off the sprayer.
21. Attach tip guard and tip to the gun as instructed by the tip
guard or tip manuals.
POSSIBLE INjEcTION HAZARD. Do not spray without
the tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun unless the
tip is in either the spray or the unclog position. Always
engage the gun trigger lock before removing, replacing
or cleaning tip.
22. Turn on the sprayer.
23. Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control knob
slowly clockwise and test the spray pattern on a piece of
cardboard. Adjust the pressure control knob until the
spray from the gun is completely atomized. Try to keep the
pressure control knob at the lowest setting that maintains
good atomization.
NOTE: Turning the pressure up higher than needed to
atomize the paint will cause premature tip wear and
additional overspray.
