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
6

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.

5. Turn prime/spray control to the
PRIME position.
6. Turn power switch to the
position. In a few seconds, cleaning
solvent will begin to move up
through the tube. Allow the fluid to
circulate for one minute to ensure
all air has been exhausted from the
pump.
7. Turn prime/spray control to SPRAY
position. Watch for any fluid leaks
(See Troubleshooting Chart if leaks
occur).
NOTE: If unit is building pressure
properly, the pump should produce a
knocking sound, which indicates it has
reached its hydraulic relief pressure.
8. When flushing the system with
cleansing fluid (either prior to
use with paint or during cleaning
process) the spray tip can remain in
the CLEAN position.
9. Point spray gun into an empty waste
bucket and pull trigger. To reduce
splashing, direct the fluid stream
along the inside of the bucket wall
and well above the fluid level.

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

will clog filter and spray tips. Remove
any skin which may have developed on
Spraying Instructions
Professional looking results can be
obtained by following the spray tips
below.
1. Keep the gun perpendicular to the
surface.
Always hold the gun perpendicular
to the surface with the tip
approximately 12 inches from the
surface. If held at an angle (up
and down or side to side), paint
will build up unevenly, leave the
work splotchy, and cause excessive
overspray (See Figure to the right).
2. Move with a smooth arm stroke.
Move the gun at a steady, even
pace while keeping the gun
perpendicular to the surface (See
Figures to the right). Do not fan
the gun. Fanning the gun will cause
excessive overspray and uneven
coverage (See Figure to the right).
3. Start moving the gun before
triggering.
To get a smooth overlap and prevent
initial paint buildup, start your
stroke movement before pulling the
trigger. Release the trigger before
stopping at the end of the stroke
(See Figure to the right).
NOTE: To assure uniform paint
coverage, overlap each stroke by 20%
- 30% and use two coats with a cross
pattern (one coat horizontal, second
coat vertical).

paint manufacturers’ recommendations
on thinning paint.
