  2. Do not alter ground prong or use adapter.

  3. A 12 AWG, 3 wires with grounding prong, 300 ft (90 m) extension cord may be used. Long lengths reduce sprayer performance.

Startup

WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually relieved to prevent the system from starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid under high pressure can be injected through the skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of an injury from injection,  splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you:

  • are instructed to relieve the pressure,
  • stop spraying,
  • check or service any of the system equipment,
  • or install or clean the spray tip.

Pressure Relief Procedure

  1. Engage gun safety latch.

  2. Turn ON/OFF switch to OFF.

  3. Unplug power supply cord.

  4. Disengage gun safety latch. Hold metal part of gun firmly to grounded metal pail. Trigger gun to relieve pressure.

  5. Engage gun safety latch.

  6. Open pressure drain valve. Leave pressure drain valve open until ready to spray again.
    If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after following the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve pressure gradually, then loosen completely.
    Now clear tip or hose obstruction.
    Use this procedure each time you start sprayer to ensure sprayer is ready to operate safely.
    Startup Procedure
    NOTE: Flush sprayer if first-time startup. See page 10.

  7. Put suction tube (39) into paint container.

  8. Turn pressure adjusting knob (J) fully counterclockwise to zero pressure.

  9. Plug in sprayer power cord.
    CAUTION
    Do not run pump without fluid in it for more than 30 seconds to avoid damaging pump packings.
    WARNING
    FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
    To reduce risk of static sparking and splashing when priming or flushing system, hold metal part of gun firmly to side of grounded metal pail before triggering gun.

  10. Prime pump.
    a. Open (handle down) pressure drain valve (G).
    If no secondary hose is installed, be sure secondary outlet cap is installed.
    Turn ON/OFF (L) switch ON. Slowly turn pressure adjusting knob clockwise until sprayer starts. When fluid comes from drain hose, close pressure drain valve (handle forward).
    b. Fig. 5. Disengage gun safety latch. Following warning, above, trigger gun until all air is forced out of system and paint flows freely from gun.
    c. Release trigger. Engage gun safety latch.

  11. Check all fluid connections for leaks. Relieve fluid pressure before tightening connections.

  12. Fig. 5. Engage gun safety latch. Install spray tip. Install tip guard. See manual 308644, supplied.

  13. Adjust spray pattern.
    a. Increase pressure just until spray from gun is completely atomized. Use lowest pressure necessary to get desired results. This reduces overspray and fogging, decreases tip wear and extends the life of the sprayer.
    b. For more coverage, use larger tip rather than increasing pressure.
    c. Test spray pattern. To adjust pattern, engage gun safety latch, loosen retaining nut. Position tip guard horizontally for horizontal pattern or vertically for vertical pattern. Then tighten retaining nut. Fig. 5.
