Preparing to Paint

Before painting, it is important to make sure that the fluid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.
NOTE: Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the
valves to become stuck closed, which would
require disassembly and cleaning of the
sprayer's fluid section.
IMPORTaNT: always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun
in the locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent for the material being sprayed (refer to
recommendations of the material manufacturer). An
example of the appropriate solvent is water for latex paint.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the PRIME position.
5. Move the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
6. Start the engine:
a. Open the fuel valve
lever.
b. Move the throttle
lever away from the
gas tank.
c. Close the engine
choke lever.
d. Holding the frame
with one hand, pull
the starter rope
rapidly and firmly. Continue to hold the rope as you let
it return. Pull and return the rope until the engine starts.
7. Turn on the sprayer by
moving the pump ON/OFF
switch to the ON position.
8. Slowly turn the pressure
control knob clockwise to
increase the pressure until
fluid starts to come out of
the return hose. Use only
enough pressure to keep the
fluid coming out.
9. Allow the sprayer to run for
15–30 seconds to flush the old solvent out through the
return hose and into the metal waste container.
10. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting.
11. Turn off the sprayer by moving the pump ON/OFF switch
to the OFF position.
NOTE: Make sure that the spray gun does not have a tip
or tip guard installed.
12. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the SPRAY position.
13. Turn on the sprayer.
14. Turn the pressure control knob slowly clockwise to
increase pressure.
15. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
Ground the gun by holding it
against the edge of the metal
container while flushing. Failure to
do so may lead to a static electric
discharge, which may cause a fire.
16. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until the old
solvent is gone and fresh solvent is coming out of the gun.
17. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.

sprayer off and follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" in
this manual before tightening any fittings or hoses.
20. Follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" in this manual
before changing from solvent to paint.
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure
when shutting the unit down for any purpose,
including servicing or adjusting any part of the
spray system, changing or cleaning spray tips, or
preparing for cleanup.
