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.

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.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A. If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketch B and C may be used. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet 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.

WARNING

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.

Extension Cord Selection

If an extension cord is used, make sure that it is of the 3- conductor type with NEMA connectors so a continuous grounding circuit is provided from the tool to the power circuit receptacle. Also, be sure that the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible motor damage to the unit. A table of recommended extension cord sizes is shown below.

For nameplate ampere ratings which are between those given, use the extension cord recommended for the next higher ampere rating.

If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation. For example, SJTW-A to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Initial Setup

The Piston Pump unit is fully assembled upon delivery. Follow these simple steps for setup:

1. Pull up on the handle until the button locks snap into place.

Purging the sprayer

This unit 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, the test fluid must be purged and then thoroughly cleaned out of the system.

If you are going to spray with solvent-based paint, all you need to do is purge the fluid. Thorough cleaning is not necessary.

CAUTION

Keep the spray gun locked and in the OFF position during these steps.Purging the system for latex paint

1.Place a container of soapy water under the paint suction tube. Have a waste container ready to catch the purged fluid.

2.Detach the return tube from the fluid section and place it in the waste container.
