Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including fluid injection, splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or injury from moving parts, always follow this procedure whenever you shut off the sprayer, when checking or servicing any part of the spray system, when installing, cleaning or changing spray tips, and whenever you stop spraying. (1) Engage the gun safety latch. (2) Open the bypass valve. (3) Depress the engine stop button. (4) Close the fuel shutoff valve. (5) Disengage the gun safety latch and hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve pressure. (6) Engage the gun safety latch. (7) Open the drain valve, having a container ready to catch the drainage. (8) Lea(ve the drain valve open until you are ready to spray again.
If you suspect thst the sprsy tip or hose is completely clogged, or thst pressure hss not been fully relieved sfter following the steps sbove, VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear the tip or hose. | 5 | |||

1.Prepare the Fluid
a.Prepare the fluid according to the fluid manufacturer'srecommendations.
b.Place the pump or accessory suction tube into the fluid container.
2.Starting the Sprayer
a.Open the bypass valve to make startup easier. In the open position, the valve lever is parallel to the body of the valve. Refer to Fig 8. Close the filter drain valve.
b.Turn the pressure control knob counterclock- wise until all spring tension is relieved. You will be able to feel it. The sprayer is now set at the lowest pressure setting. Turning the knob fur- ther will cause it to fall off.
c.Open the fuel shutoff valve to a vertical posi- tion. See Fig 8.
d.If the engine is cold, close the choke by turning the lever in the direction of the arrow. See Fig 9.
e.Brace one foot against the frame and gently pull the starter rope until you feel it engage, then continue pulling all the way out and let it recoil slowly into the starter. Then, holding the starter rope firmly, rapidly pull the rope to start the engine. If it does not start after one or two attempts, open the choke a little more. If the engine floods, open the choke all the way and continue pulling the rope.
Always hold the starter rope firmly while pulling or recoiling it to reduce the chance of being hit and injured by the rope or of jamming and damaging the starter assembly.
