Operating Instructions and Assembly Instructions
Airless Paint Sprayers
Preparation (Continued)
10.After completing the flush/testing process, purge the pump of fluid.
11.Repeat the preceding steps using paint instead of cleaning solvent.
NOTE: Strain and thin paint before using. All paint may have particles that will clog filter and spray tips. Remove any skin which may have developed on
the paint due to air exposure. Follow paint manufacturers’ recommendations on thinning paint.
12.When pure paint appears from spray tip rotate tip to the Spray position. The system is now ready for use.
Spraying Instructions
Professional looking results can be obtained by following the spray tips below.
1.Keep the gun perpendicular to the surface.
Always hold the gun perpendicular to the surface with the tip approximately 12 inches from the surface. If held at an angle (up and down or side to side), paint will build up unevenly, leave the work splotchy, and cause excessive overspray (See Figure to the right).
2.Move with a smooth arm stroke.
Move the gun at a steady, even pace while keeping the gun perpendicular to the surface (See Figures to the right). Do not fan the gun. Fanning the gun will cause excessive overspray and uneven coverage (See Figure to the right).
3.Start moving the gun before triggering.
To get a smooth overlap and prevent initial paint buildup, start your stroke movement before pulling the trigger. Release the trigger before stopping at the end of the stroke (See Figure to the right).
NOTE: To assure uniform paint coverage, overlap each stroke by 20%
-30% and use two coats with a cross pattern (one coat horizontal, second coat vertical).
