The spray gun should be triggered by turning it on and off with
each stroke. This will save paint and avoid paint buildup at the
end of the stroke. Do not trigger the gun during the middle of
a stroke. This will result in an uneven spray and splotchy
coverage.
Proper way to trigger the spray gun
Keep stroke
even
Start stroke Pull trigger Keep steady
Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even
coating.
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the
pressure control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting
and set the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME. Turn the ON/OFF
switch to OFF and unplug the sprayer.

Practice

1. Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of
objects with sharp cutting edges.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its to
its lowest setting.
3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to SPRAY.
4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest
setting. The paint hose should stiffen as paint begins to
flow through it.
5. Unlock the gun trigger lock.
6. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the hose.
7. When paint reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to
check the spray pattern.
8. Use the lowest pressure
setting necessary to get a
good spray pattern. If the
pressure is set too high, the
spray pattern will be too light.
If the pressure is set too low,
tailing will appear or the paint
will spatter out in gobs rather
than in a fine spray.

Cleanup

WARNING
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
CAUTION
The pump, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake,
seriously affecting the performance of the unit.

WARNING
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun nozzle tip
removed when using mineral spirits or any other solvent
to clean the pump, hose, or gun. Static electricity buildup
may result in a fire or explosion in the presence of
flammable vapors.

Flushing the Unit

Flush the unit with a solvent appropriate to the material being
sprayed after daily use. The unit then should be flushed again
using mineral spirits with a flash point of 140ºF (60ºC) or
above.
For long term storage, flush the unit with an appropriate oil
before storing.
1. Follow the pressure relief procedure found earlier in this
manual.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY
valve to SPRAY to bleed
off any pressure
remaining in the pump.
3. Remove the gun tip and
clean with a solution
appropriate to the type
of material being
sprayed.
4. Remove the material container and replace it with a
container of solvent appropriate to the type of material
being sprayed.
5. Check to be sure the pressure control knob is turned fully
counterclockwise to its lowest setting.
6. Move the ON/OFF switch to ON.
7. Trigger the spray gun into a waste container until solvent
comes out and the pump, hose, and gun are clean.
8. Follow the pressure relief procedure found earlier in this
manual.
9. Make certain that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
10. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to SPRAY to bleed off any
remaining solvent.
11. Unplug the unit and store in a clean, dry area.

Maintenance

Daily Maintenance

Perform the following procedures daily.
Filling the Oil Cup
Before you start to spray each day, fill the oil cup on the front
cover of the pump housing with approximately one teaspoon of
separating oil.
NOTE: Do not apply so much that it overflows and
drips into the paint.
This lubricant keeps the piston seals pliant, minimizing paint
bypass and piston wear. If the unit is operated several hours a
day, lubricate approximately every 4 hours.
Cleaning the High Pressure Filter Screen
The high pressure filter will clog and
must be cleaned at least once a day.
1. Turn the filter body
counterclockwise to remove it
from the filter head.
2. Take out the filter sieve and
wash it thoroughly with the
appropriate solvent. Scrub the
filter sieve with a fiber-bristled
brush if necessary.
CAUTION
Do not use a wire brush. It could
damage the filter sieve.
