SETTING UP TO SPRAY
1Remove unit from shipping carton. Inspect exterior of unit for any signs of freight damage. If any parts are found to be broken or damaged, immediately contact the carrier and arrange for an inspection of the concealed damage. Claims for freight damage must be made by the CONSIGNEE and not by the shipper. The carrier accepts full responsibility for the safe delivery of merchandise upon
2Attach intake hose assembly (ref# 1) onto hose barb (ref# 7). Tighten clamp (ref# 6 ) securely.
3Attach prime hose (ref# 48) to prime valve (ref# 44). Secure with clamp (ref# 49).
4Attach paint hose to outgo tee (ref# 33).
5Attach gun to paint hose. NOTE; Spray tip and tip guard should be attached to gun prior to attaching to hose.
6Place intake siphon assembly into a clean 5 gallon pail.
7Install strainer bag (accessory item 5GAL SB) in pail and secure with large rubber band ( accessory item 106). NOTE; Strainer bag must remain 4 inches from the bottom of pail
8Trigger gun to release any pressure in the unit. Use extreme caution to ensure that the gun is not directed towards anyone or any object which may be damaged.
NOTE; Unit may contain storage solution.
9To remove storage solution, add one gallon of thinner, compatible with the type of paint to be used, to the siphon pail.
10Turn pressure control handle (ref# 43) counter clockwise to lowest pressure setting.
11Be sure motor switch is in "OFF" position. Plug unit into 115V, 15 amp., grounded circuit. NOTE; If using an extension cord, you MUST use a #12/3 wire
grounded cord, up to 50 feet or #10/3 wire grounded cord, up to 100 feet. DO NOT EXCEED 100 FEET OF EXTENSION CORD. If distance is greater, purchase and install additional lengths of airless spray hose.
12Turn motor switch "on".
13Turn prime valve handle (ref# 43) counter clockwise until fully open. Allow thinner to circulate back into the siphon pail for a few minutes. Then turn the prime valve knob clockwise to close the valve ( close tightly ), and direct the flow to the paint hose and gun. Leave the pressure setting low.
14Trigger gun into waste container.
15Pour paint through strainer bag into siphon pail.
16Repeat steps 13 and 14, until paint flows freely. NOTE; Never turn prime valve back to "prime" position when the unit is under pressure.
17Spray a test pattern. Begin by spraying a test pattern onto old newspaper or other scrap material.
18Increase the pressure, slowly at first, by turning the pressure control knob clockwise. Continue increasing the pressure until the spray pattern is uniformed from top to bottom, with no heavy areas. Secure pressure control setting, by turning the silver lock ring (ref# 76) counter clockwise until snugly against the face of the pressure control knob. If heavy areas are still visible at maximum pressure setting, thin the paint with the correct thinner, according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations.
