SAFETY WARNINGS

standards, particularly the General Standards,
should be consulted.
DO NOT USE HALOGENATED SOLVENTS IN THIS SYSTEM.
The prime valve, and most airless guns have aluminum parts and may explode. Clean ing agents, coatings, paints or adhesives
may contain halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. DON'T TAKE CHANCES! Consult your material suppliers to be sure. Some of
the most common of these solvents are: Carbontetrachloride, Chlorobenzene, Dichloroethane, Dichloroethyl Ether,
Ethylbromide, Ethylchloride, Tethrachloethane. Alternate valves and guns are available if you need to use these solvents.

Fluids under high pressure from spray or leaks can
penetrate the skin and cause ex treme ly serious injury,
including the need for amputation.
NEVER
point the spray gun at anyone or any part of
the body.
NEVER
put your hand or  ngers over the spray tip. Do
not use a rag or any other materials over your  ngers.
Paint will penetrate through these materials & into the hand.

manufacturer, local, state & national guidelines.
ALWAYS
wear protective eyewear, gloves,
clothing and respirator as recommended by  uid
man u fac tur er.
Tighten all of the  uid connections securely before each
use. High pressure  uid can dislodge a loose coupling or
allow high pressure spray to be emitted from the coupling
and result in an injection injury or serious bodily injury.
Only use hoses with a spring guard. The spring guard
helps protect the hose from kinks or other damage which
could result in hose rupture and cause an injection injury.
NEVER
use a damaged hose, which can result in hose
failure or rupture and cause an injection injury or other
check entire hose for cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulging of the
cover, or damage or movement of couplings. If any of
these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
NEVER
use tape or any device to try to mend the hose as
it cannot contain the high pressure  uid. NEVER
ATTEMPT TO RECOUPLE THE HOSE. A high pressure
hose is not recoupleable.
Ground the spr
ayer & other components in the system to
reduce the risk of static sparking,  re or explosion which
can result in serious bodily injury and property damage.
For detailed instructions on how to ground, check your
local electrical code.
ALWAYS
ensure switch is in OFF position before
plugging unit in.
Always Ground All of These Components:
each equipped with an undamaged three-prong plug, into a
properly grounded outlet. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
Use only a 3 wire extension cord that has a 3 blade
grounding plug, and a 3 slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is
in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. (
Note
the cor rect size to use depending on cord length and name
plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavi er gauge.
The smaller the gauge num ber, the heavi er the cord.)

When spraying with  ammable liquids, the unit must be located a minimum of 25 feet away from the spraying area in a
well ventilated area. Ventilation must be suf cient enough to prevent the accumulation of vapors.
2.
To eliminate electrostatic discharge, ground the spray unit, paint bucket & spraying object. See GROUNDING. Use only
high pressure airless hoses approved for 3000 psi which is conductive.
3.
Remove the spray tip before  ushing. Hold the metal part of the gun  rmly to the side of a metal pail & use the lowest
possible  uid pressure during  ush ing.

2. Push the piston rod up into the connecting rod (331-
038) & align the holes. Insert the connecting rod pin (331-065) through the connecting rod & piston. Slip the sleeve over the connecting rod pin and insert the
retaining ring into the groove on the connecting rod.
3. Push the two bolts (100-318) through the tube spacers
(331-074) & screw them into the cover assembly (331-
234). Using a 1/2” wrench, tighten the two bolts evenly (alternating between them) until you reach 20 ft-lbs.
4. Reassemble the lower suction valve assembly by
placing the suction seat assembly: O-ring (106-011), suction ball (331-030) and suction ball guide (331-029) in the suction nut (331-034) and screw onto the  uid pump body.
5. Reconnect the sensor (331-294-99) to the  uid pump
body. Hold the sensor with a 7/8” wrench while tightening the swivel connector (100-003) with an 11/16” wrench.
DO NOT TURN THE SENSOR.
6. Start the machine and operate slowly to check the
piston rod for binding. Adjust the two bolts, holding the  uid pump body to the cover assembly, if necessary. This will eliminate any binding.
7. Tighten the packing nut counter clockwise until
resistance is felt against the Belleville Springs, then go 3/4 of a turn more. Put  ve drops of Airlessco Throat Seal Oil into the packing nut.
8. Run the machine at full pressure for several minutes.
Release the pressure by following the Pressure Relief Procedure & readjust the packing nut per step 7 above.
9. Install the connecting rod shield (331-111) so that the
small hole is in the upper right hand corner.

TROUBLESHOOTING - Machine does not start
STEPS (SEE FIGURE 22)
STEPS (SEE FIGURE 22)
STEP 1:
After making sure that the machine is plugged into the wall, verify that the
on-off switch is in the ON position and that the pressure control knob is turned all the
way to the right (clockwise for maximum pressure).
STEP 2:
Using your multi-meter, test the fuse for continuity or replace with a new
fuse. If the fuse reads good, move on to step three.
STEP 4:
Locate the L1 and L2 terminals on the board, and then using your multi-me-
ter check to make sure you have 110 volts AC across the two terminals (the cord wires
will still be attached). If there is no voltage at these leads, there is no power getting
to the machine. Check your power source (outlet, circuit breaker, extension cord, and
power cord). If you have AC voltage at the L1 and L2 terminals, go to step 5.
STEP 3:
Using a Phillips Head screwdriver, remove the four screws holding the
pressure control assembly. Locate the light on the board indicating there is power (it
will be red or green). If light is OFF proceed to step four. If light is ON go to step six.
Thermal Overload
Sensor
STEP 5:
Disconnect the two red motor leads (S1 & S2) and test for continuity between
them. No continuity means that the thermal coupler has opened due to excessive motor
heat. If the motor is still hot to the touch, allow it to cool and then retest. If the motor
is cool and there is not continuity on the red leads, contact your local Leeson repair
facility to repair/replace the thermal coupler. Continuity shows that the motor's thermal
coupler has not tripped. Proceed to step six.
STEP 6:
If everything checks out in steps one through  ve and the power indicating
light is still out, replace the pressure control assembly.
STEP 7:
Remove the motor brush covers and turn the machine on. Set the potentiome-
ter (POT) at maximum pressure and check for DC voltage across both brush terminals.
You should read greater than 80 volts DC. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE DC VOLTAGE
GO TO STEP EIGHT. If you have DC voltage, turn the machine off and unplug it from
the wall. Check to make sure that the brushes are making good contact with the arma-
ture. Replace the brushes if they are less than 3/8" long. If the brushes are good, replace
the motor.
STEP 8:
Plug another sensor into the board and perform the zero calibration proce-
dure. If the machine starts to run, the sensor was bad. If there is no replacement sensor
available, use a multi-meter to test the resistance across the red and black wires of the
usually reads no continuity (open). If the sensor passes all the tests move to step nine.
STEP 9:
Plug another potentiometer (POT) into the control board. If the machine
lead (with the machine turned off) from the control board and test the resistance be-
tween the red and black wires (be sure to test at the plug). The resistance should read
between 8-12k ohms if it is outside of this range replace the POT.
STEP 10:
If you do not have DC voltage at the motor brushes and all of the compo-
nents check out  ne in steps eight and nine, replace the pressure control assembly.
