Airless Paint Systems
5.Open the prime valve to the open - "Priming Position". This will allow for an easy start. Refer to Figure 1 on page 4.
6.Turn the engine ON/OFF switch to ON.
7.Move the choke toward the closed position as per Figure 3.
8.Move the throttle lever slightly to the left as per Figure 3.
9.Turn the fuel valve ON as per Figure 3. Pull the start rope. Pull the engine over against compression stroke and then let the rope rewind slowly into the starter. Pull firmly and rapidly to start the engine. Do NOT drop the rope. Hold onto the handle while rewinding, or the rope may rewind improperly and jam the assembly. If the engine does not start, open the choke a little more. If the engine floods, open the choke all the way and continue cranking.
10.After the engine is warm, gradually close the choke lever, increase the RPM of engine slightly by moving throttle to the left. Close the prime valve. Refer to Figure 1.
11.Point the gun into the metal pail and hold a metal part of the gun firmly against the pail Refer to Figure 4.
Figure 4 - Spray Gun Against Metal Container
12.Disengage the gun trigger lock and squeeze the gun trigger. At the same time, slowly turn the pressure control knob clockwise just enough
to move liquid at low pressure.
13.Allow the pump to operate until clean solvent comes from the gun.
14.Release the trigger and engage the gun trigger lock.
15.If you are going to start spraying, place the pump or suction tube into the supply container. Release the gun safety latch and trigger the gun into another empty, metal container, holding a metal part of the gun firmly against the metal pail (Figure 4) and force the solvent from the pump and hose. When paint starts coming from gun, turn pressure control knob to minimum pressure, place prime valve in prime (open) position and engage the gun trigger lock.
16.If you are going to store the sprayer, remove the suction tube or pump from the solvent pail force the solvent from the pump and hose. Engage the gun safety latch and refer to the "Storage" Procedure on page 4, Step 5.
17.Whenever you shut off the sprayer follow the Pressure Relief Procedure warning on page 3.
SETTING UP
1. Connect the hose and gun.
a. Remove the plastic cap plug from the outlet and screw a conductive or grounded 3000 psi spray hose onto fluid outlet.
b. Connect an airless spray gun to the other end of the hose, but do not install the spray tip yet!
NOTE: Do not use thread sealer on swivel unions as they are made to self seal.
NOTE: The first 50' of hose should always be 3/8".
2.Fill the Packing Nut/Wet Cup 1/3 full with Throat Seal Oil (TSO) supplied. See Figure 5.
Figure 5 - Applying throat seal oil
3.Check the engine oil level.
a.Unscrew the oil fill plug. The dipstick is attached to the plug.
b.Without threading the plug into place, check to be sure the oil is up to the top mark on the dipstick.
c.If oil is needed, refer to engine manual.
4.Fill the fuel tank.
Fuel spilled on a hot surface can cause a
fire or explosion and cause serious bodily injury and property damage. Always shut off engine and let it cool before filling the tank, and carefully follow steps a to c below, making sure you do not spill any fuel.
a. Close the fuel shutoff valve.
b. Use only clean, fresh, well- known brands of unleaded regular grade gasoline.
c. Remove the fuel cap and fill tank. Be sure the air vent in the fill cap is not plugged so fuel can flow to the carburetor, then replace the cap.
SPRAY TIP SELECTION
See Tip Selection Chart on Page 6.
Spray tip selection is based on paint viscosity, paint type, and job needs. For light viscosity (thin paints), use a smaller tip. For heavier viscosities (thicker paints), use a larger tip size.
Spray tip size is based on how many gallons of paint per minute can be sprayed through the tip. Do not use a tip larger than the maximum pump
