Setup
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury caused by static sparking, fluid injection or over±pressuri- zation and rupture of the hose or gun, all hoses must be electrically conductive, the gun must have a tip guard, and each part must be rated for at least 2750 psi (190 bar, 19 MPa) Working Pressure.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the pressure control, which may result in poor equipment performance and compo- nent damage:
1.Always use grounded, flexible spray hose (85) at least 50 ft (15 m) long.
2.Never use a wire braid hose as it is too rigid to act as a pulsation dampener.
3.Never install any shutoff device between the filter (15) and the main hose. See Fig. 1.
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Proper electrical grounding is essential to reduce the risk of fire or explosion which can result in serious bodily injury and property damage. See the warning section FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZ- ARD on page 2 for more detailed grounding instructions.
1.Connect the hoses and gun to the sprayer. Use
a1/4 in. ID, 50 ft (15 m) long (minimum) main hose (85). For more flexible gun movement, install
a3/16 in. ID, 3 ft (0.9 m) hose (86) between the main hose and the gun (87). Don't use thread sealant, and don't install the spray tip yet!
2.Fill the packing
3.Check the electrical service.
a.Electrical requirements: 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15A (minimum).
b.Use a grounded electrical outlet located at least 20 ft (6 m) from the spray area.
c.Do not remove the grounding prong of the power supply cord, and do not use an ungrounded adapter.
d.Extension cord specifications: 15A, 3 wires, grounding type. Note that long lengths reduce sprayer performance. A maximum extension cord length of 200 ft (60 m) is recommended.
4.Flush the pump to remove the oil left in to protect pump parts after factory testing. See Flushing on page 9.
5.Prepare the paint. Remove any paint skin. Stir the paint thoroughly. Strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag to remove particles that could clog the filter, if used, or the spray tip.
