Introduction

Congratulations on having selected the finest airless sprayer
available in the world. Speeflo piston pumps are tireless
workhorses — so tough they are virtually indestructible, even
under the most severe service. Speeflo designs and builds
equipment with superior quality and reliability. Equipment that
will last for years with minimal maintenance and downtime.
This equipment will make you money year after year. We
thank you for your purchase and welcome you to our large and
growing family of Speeflo users.
The unique ability of this PowrTwin to operate with either gas
or electric power provides you with the flexibility to work

This PowrTwin is equipped with Speeflo's Severe Service
500™ fluid pump. This technology will give you significantly
longer rod, cylinder, and packing life than any other sprayer
built in the world. This double ball piston pump employs a
dependable and durable time-tested design. All pumps use a
thick hard chrome plating on rod and cylinder parts. This
plating process is harder than nitralloy, stainless steel, or hard
chrome used by any other paint pump manufacturer and much
more abrasion resistant. Highly polished parts reduce friction,
extend packing life, and avoid damage from corrosion and
abrasion. More than 100,000 of these pumps are in operation
around the world.
This PowrTwin offers other cost saving features:
• Freeze-proof pressure control
• Choice of power — gas, electric, or both
• Tungsten carbide valve seats
• Self-adjusting packings
• Exclusive hand-tight swivel foot valve
• Large capacity inline paint filter
• Waterborne compatible
• "Floating Ball" pressure bleed valve
• 5 gallon siphon hose and bleed line assemblies are
standard
You have made an excellent choice. We know you will be
pleased with your new PowrTwin. Thanks again for selecting
Speeflo. We appreciate your business.

Operation

Fueling (gas engine)
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under
certain conditions.
• ALWAYS turn the engine off before refueling.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the refueling
area or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure
the tank cap is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or
fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
Fuel Specifications
• Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number
of 86 or higher, or that has a research octane number of 91
or higher. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause
persistent "pinging" or heavy "spark knock" (a metallic
rapping noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine damage.
NOTE: If "spark knock" or "pinging" occurs at a
steady engine speed under normal load,
change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or
pinging persists, consult an authorized dealer
of the engine manufacturer. Failure to do so is
considered misuse, and damage caused by
misuse is not covered by the engine
manufacturer's limited warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light spark
knock while operating under heavy loads. This
is no cause for concern, it simply means your
engine is operating efficiently.
• Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system
components.
• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an
oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in
the fuel tank.
Gasolines Containing Alcohol
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol),
be sure its octane rating is at least as high as that
recommended by the engine manufacturer. There are two
types of "gasohol": one containing ethanol, and the other
containing methanol. Do not use gasohol that contains more
than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline containing methanol
(methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain co-
solvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use
gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has co-
solvents and corrosion inhibitors.
NOTE: Fuel system damage or engine performance
problems resulting from the use of fuels that
contain alcohol is not covered under the
warranty. The engine manufacturer cannot
endorse the use of fuels containing methanol
since evidence of their suitability is incomplete
at this time.
Before buying gasoline from an unfamiliar
station, try to find out if the gasoline contains
alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and
percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any
undesirable operating characteristics while using
a gasoline that contains alcohol, or one that you
think contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline that
you know does not contain alcohol.
