• Before you loosen or remove the pressure tank cover or fill port.

• Whenever you stop spraying.

1. Shut off air supply to the tank by closing air valve.

2. Pull ring on safety valve until pressure bleeds down.

Material Preparation

Follow manufacturer’s directions for mixing and preparing material.

Strain material using a fine mesh screen to prevent foreign matter from entering and clogging passageways.
