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
to its middle point.
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. 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.
9. 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.
10. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the SPRAY position.
11. Turn on the sprayer.
12. Turn the pressure control knob slowly clockwise to increase
pressure.
13. 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.
14. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until the old
solvent is gone and fresh solvent is coming out of the gun.
15. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
16. Set down the gun and increase the pressure by turning the
pressure control knob slowly clockwise to its highest setting.
17. Check the entire system for leaks. If leaks occur, turn the
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.
