EXTENSION CORDS
Use an extension cord with ground contact only. Should an extension cord be necessary use a 3 wire, 12 AWG
(2.5mm2) minimum. Do not exceed 300 ft 100 meters
PAILS
Solvent and oil based fluids: follow local code. Use only conductive metal pails, place on a grounded surface
such as concrete.
ntain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gun with the
airless tip removed firmly to side of the grounded metal pail. Then trigger gun.
START UP
Throughout these instructions Model # T-5 and T-7 and the instructions for the T360 Airless spray gun are shown
in all illustrations.
1. Connect TriTech airless hose to sprayer. Tighten securely.
2. Connect other end of the hose to gun.
3. Tighten securely.
4. Remove tip guard.
5. Check inlet strainer for clogs and debris.
6. Fill upper retainer with TriLube to prevent premature packing wear. Do this each time you spray.
7. Plug power supply cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
8. Turn pressure relief valve down.
9. Place siphon tube set in grounded metal container partially filled with flushing fluid. Use mineral spirits to flush
storage oil.
10. Turn pressure control to lowest pressure. Turn pressure relief valve down.
11. Turn power ON.
12. Increase pressure to start motor and allow fluid to circulate through pressure relief tube for 15 seconds; then
turn pressure down.
13. Turn pressure relief valve horizontal. Take spray gun trigger safety OFF.
14. Hold gun against grounded metal container. Trigger gun and increase fluid pressure to half way. Flush 1
minute. Inspect for leaks. If a leak occurs follow the pressure relief procedure then tighten fitting were leak
occurred. Do not attempt to stop leaks with hand or rag! Repeat Start-up 1-5 again. If no leaks, proceed.
15. Place siphon tube in paint pail.
16. Trigger gun again into metal container until paint appears. Move gun to paint pail and trigger for 20 seconds.
Set the safety to ON position. Assemble tip and guard. (See following section).
TIP AND GUARD ASSEMBLY
through guard. Line up seals by turning tip.
2. Insert Tip
3. Screw assembly onto gun. Tighten.
SPRAYING
1. Spray test pattern. Start with pressure turned to its lowest setting, then gradually increase pressure until you
achieve a consistent spray pattern without heavy edges. Use smaller tip size if pressure adjustment cannot
eliminate heavy edges.
