Description
Airless paint sprayers are capable of spraying a wide variety of latex, oil-based, and alkyd paints, as well as stains, preservatives and other non-abrasive finishes.
These sprayers are also powerful and versatile enough to be used with a variety of options (roller attachment, extra lengths of hose, etc.) to make it an even more efficient tool.

Airless Paint Sprayers
Skin Injection Hazard:
●High pressure spray can inject toxins into blood stream. If injection occurs, seek emergency medical treatment.
Use a face mask/respirator and protective clothing when spraying. Always
spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health and fire hazards. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of spray material for details.
●Never try to stop leaks with any part of your body.
●This system is capable of producing 3000 psi (20 500 kPa). Use only Campbell Hausfeld replacement parts rated at 3000 psi (20 500 kPa) or higher.
To reduce the risk of skin injection:
●Do not aim the gun at, or spray, any person or animal.
●Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the body.
●Do not clean spray tip while it is attached to the spray gun. Remove spray tip from gun to clean tip guard.
●Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place.
●Do not remove tip while cleaning the pump.
●Only use a nozzle tip specified by the manufacturer.
●Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. Before
removing the nozzle tip, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for turning off the unit and relieving the pressure.
●Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while unattended. When not in use turn off the
unit and relieve the pressure in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
●High pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
●Check parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged parts.
●This spray gun is rated for 3000 psi (20 500 kPa). Do not use on systems designed to produce more than 3000 psi (20 500 kPa).
●Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.
NOTE: If gun sprays while in the locked position follow instructions in Spray Gun Maintenance section for trigger lock.
●Verify that all connections are secure before operating. Do not use pliers to tighten or loosen high pressure connections.
●Know how to stop your unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
●Motor is equipped with an automatic thermal overload. Motor will restart without warning, after
cooling.
Never aim or spray at yourself
or anyone else or serious injury could occur.
•To lock (engage): rotate tabs on lock to horizontal position.
•To unlock (disengage) to spray: rotate tabs on lock to vertical
position. |

Operating Instructions and Assembly Instructions
Airless Paint Sprayers
Before servicing or resting:
1.Turn the Prime/Spray Control to the Prime position.
2.Turn the pressure control to Low Pressure/Hydraulic Bleeding position.
3.Turn power switch to OFF position.
4.With gun pointed in a safe direction, pull the gun trigger, with the trigger lock disengaged.
5.Engage trigger lock.
●Simply turning off the pump motor will not relieve pressure from system. The above procedure must be followed.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD:
●Do not use solvents with flash points less than 70°F (21°C) to clean this equipment (examples of acceptable cleaning solvents are water, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, Xylene and high flash napha. A partial example list of unacceptable cleaning solvents are low flash napha, mek, acetone, alcohol and toluene).
●Use only conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses specified by the manufacturer.
●Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.
●Do not spray pump assembly.
●Have fire extinguisher equipment present and working.
Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of
open flame or near ignition
sources. Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause electrical arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the unit.
Do not spray acids, corrosive materials, toxic chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides.
Using these materials could result in death or serious injury.
●Do not use fuels to clean this equipment.
●Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the spray area.
●Remove all ignition sources (i.e. Static electricity, pilot lights, cigarettes and electrical arcing).
●Airless spraying can cause static electricity. Always ground the pump and spraying surface. Always use a 3-wire grounded extension cord and power receptacle.
●Do not use paints or solvents containing halogenated hydrocarbons such as methyl bromine, carbon tetrachloride, and ethyl iodine.
Keep hose away from sharp objects.
Bursting hoses may cause injury. Examine hoses regularly and replace if damaged.
●Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.
●Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
To reduce the risk of injury:
● Do not spray acids, corrosive materials, toxic chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. Using these materials could result in death or serious injury.
●Do not kink or over-bend the hose.
●Do not expose the hose to temperatures or to pressures in
excess of those specified by the manufacturer.
●Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment.
●Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, and a respirator or mask when painting.
●Always work in a clean environment. Do not aim the spray gun at any dust or debris.
●Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children, pets, and visitors away from equipment and work area at all times.
●Do not over reach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective footing and balance at all times.
●Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
●Do not operate the equipment when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury including death.

Preparation
Airless painting systems, unlike most other power tools, require additional care to ensure proper working order. Following these instructions will significantly increase the likelihood of having a positive paint experience.
It is important that the painting equipment is flush/tested EACH time a new job is started. Each pump is tested at the factory with a fluid that must be flushed from the
system prior to painting. It is also required prior to each successive use to flush the storage lubricant from the system. Use the solvent which will be used to clean the equipment. Refer to the paint manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning fluids.

10.After completing the flush/testing process, purge the pump of fluid.
11.Repeat the preceding steps using paint instead of cleaning solvent.
NOTE: Strain and thin paint before using. All paint may have particles that will clog filter and spray tips. Remove any skin which may have developed on
the paint due to air exposure. Follow paint manufacturers’ recommendations on thinning paint.
12.When pure paint appears from spray tip rotate tip to the Spray position. The system is now ready for use.
