ALIGNING THE PICKUP TUBE - (FIGURES B AND B1)

The pickup tube can be aligned in the direction that you will be doing the most spraying to help minimize the amount of times that you will have to refill the canister.

• If you are spraying at an upward angle or straight on, position the pickup tube (figure B) toward the back of the canister.

• If you are spraying at a downward angle, position the pickup tube (figure B1) toward the front of the canister.

This will ensure you spray as much material as possible before you need to refill.

ATTACHINGTHE AIR HOSE - (FIGURES C AND C1)

• Insert one end of the air hose into the back of the sprayer. A slight twisting action when inserting the hose will help insure a snug fit.

•Insert the other end of the air hose into the back of the power unit. A slight twisting action when inserting the hose will help insure a snug fit.

LIQUID MATERIAL PREPARATION - (FIGURES D, D1 AND D2)

TIP: Make sure the type of material you use can be cleaned with either mineral spirits or paint thinner (for oil-based paints) or a warm water and soap solution (for water soluble paints like latex). Use drop cloths during pouring, mixing, and viscosity testing of materials to be sprayed to protect your floors and anything else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched.

The liquid being sprayed may need to be thinned (diluted) before starting. When thinning, use the proper liquid thinner recommended on the container by the material manufacturer.

Do not use materials with

aflashpointWARNING:higher than 60°C (140°F) .

A 2- 3/4 quart mixing bucket is provided

to use when transferring spray material from the original container into the bucket for thinning and measuring purposes (figure D).

A viscosity test cup is provided to determine the “runout time” of the material being used.

•Before measuring for the proper viscosity, stir the material throughly.

•Dip the viscosity cup into the material being sprayed and fill the cup completely.

•With the cup held over the material container, measure the amount of time it takes for the stream of material flowing out to “break” or stop being a constant stream out of the bottom of the cup (2 minutes or less) (figure D1). This is the “runout time” Refer to the thinning table for information on the thinning required for different materials.
