Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER — Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in the figure below may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet as shown below can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the grounding wire extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

CAUTION

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A 14 or 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A after the cord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.

NOTE: Do not use more than 50 feet of extension cord. If you need to paint further than 100 feet from your power source, use more paint hose, not more extension cord.

Operation

Purging and Priming

CAUTION

Always keep the spray gun locked in the off position while purging the system.

If this unit is new, it is shipped with test fluid in the fluid section to prevent corrosion during shipment and storage. If you are going to spray with latex paint, this fluid must be thoroughly cleaned out of the system. For spraying with solvent-based paint, thorough cleaning of this material is not necessary.

If it is already in service, you will need to purge the water or solvent used in cleanup.

7.Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its lowest setting when the test fluid is purged and soapy water is coming out of the return hose.

8.Remove the bucket of soapy water from the suction tube and replace it with a bucket of clear water.

9.Increase the pressure to the minimum necessary to keep fluid flowing until clear water is coming out of the return hose.

10.Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its lowest setting.

11. Remove the bucket of water from under the suction tube and replace it with a container of latex paint.

12. Increase the pressure slowly until paint is coming through the return hose.

13.Remove the return hose from the waste container and

place it in its operating position above the container of latex paint.

14.Keep circulating the paint through the system until the paint coming out of the return hose is free of air bubbles.

15.Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its lowest setting.

The pump is now purged. Skip to Purging and Priming the
