Purging and Priming the Sprayer

All new units are performance-tested at the factory and are shipped with test fluid in the fluid section to prevent corrosion during shipment and storage. If you have already used your pump, some water or solvent used in cleaning may remain in the fluid section. Whether your sprayer is new or if you have already used it, this fluid must be purged and thoroughly cleaned out of the system prior to use. Follow the steps below.

9146, 9150, 9170 and 9190 only.

1.Remove oiler cap using a straight- slot screwdriver. Squirt separating oil (P/N 0516913) supplied with your sprayer into the oiler. Light household oil can be substituted if necessary. Replace cap.

2.After filling, push button on front of face plate 2-5 times to lubricate the fluid section. Afterwards, press once for every eight hours of usage. Be sure to periodically check reservoir level (a) and refill as necessary.

6.Plug in the sprayer and move the ON/OFF switch to the ON (l) position.

7.Switch the pump OFF (O). Remove the return tube from the waste container and place it in its operating position above the container of spraying material. Use the metal clip to bind the two hoses together.

The unit will begin to draw material up the suction tube, into the pump, and out the return tube. Let the unit cycle long enough to remove test fluid from the pump, or until spray material is flowing from the return tube.
