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 fully counterclockwise.

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 ush 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.

14. Check the entire system for leaks. If leaks occur, turn the

unit off and follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in this

manual before tightening any ttings 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.

10. Turn on the sprayer.

11. 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.

12. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until all air

and solvent is ushed from the spray hose and paint is

owing freely from the gun.

13. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked

position.

14. Turn off the sprayer.

15. 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.

16. Turn on the sprayer.

17. 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.
