HOW TO USE THE 1.5m (5’)

SUCTION TUBE

For larger painting applications, using the 1.5m (5’) suction tube enables you to draw paint directly out of a large can instead of using the paint container, thus saving considerable time and making painting an even easier job, since you are operating the sprayer without a loaded paint container.

Assembling the 1.5m (5’) Suction Tube:

1.Remove the paint container and the intake tube from the paint sprayer.

2.Insert the adapter fitting through the hole in the return cup into the paint intake port on the sprayer-ensure this is firmly pushed in. (Same position as where the section tube was removed from).

3.Locate the return cup within the recess where the paint container was located. Slip the retainer nut over cup and screw into place firmly. (The return cup is necessary to catch any paint that is returned through the overflow bypass opening below the paint pump).

4.Insert 1.5m (5’) intake suction tube into adapter fitting up to the stop. Insert other end of flexible tube

over suction tube filter moulding, ensure this fits tightly to prevent air leaks, immerse filter end of suction tube into paint can and secure tube to can using the retainer clamp.

5.To reduce the time the sprayer runs without paint, hold the sprayer below the paint level when priming the sprayer, this speeds up the time the paint takes to draw through the tube. The paint may need additional thinning if you still experience difficulty priming the sprayer. The paint must be stirred fully before use.

6.When using the spray gun with the 1.5 suction tube only use the gun in normal upright position, support or hang the gun in an upright position during breaks of use.

If the gun is not kept in the normal upright position after use, remove the cup and drain the fluids before placing down on it’s side.

Observe the fluid level in the return cup, empty before it is completely full.
