Mix the Material
Mix the Material
Always wet out the pump, hose, and applicator 
before loading the mortar o r epoxy material. See
Wet Out the System, page 15.
Always follow the material manufacturer’s instructions 
for the material being sprayed. Mortar must be 
thoroughly mixed to a smooth consistency before 
loading it in the hopper.
• Always add the powder slowly to the fluid while 
mixing. Do not add fluid to the powder.
• In non-explosive environments only: Use a 
powerful mixer drive such as a minimum 800 
watt, 1/2 in. drive, electric drill. Gear reduced 
drills work best. Drill should have high torque at 
300-1200 rpm.
• A heavy-duty drywall mud “H” blade or large “Jiffy” 
blade generally works wel l for mixing.

Managing Mortar After Mixing:
• Paycloseattentiontotheworklifeofthematerial 
being used.
• Only mix the mortar kits as needed. Do not let 
mixed mortar sit longer than necessary.
• Scrape mortar down the sides of the hopper as 
the hopper material level lowers. Do not let older 
mortar cure on the walls.
• Occasionally, do not refill the hopper until it is 
almost empty. This ensures all material in hopper 
is used while fresh.

NOTICE
Do not operate the pump motor with the applicator 
material ball valve (V) closed. This may cause the 
pumporhosetopackout.
Prevent Packout
To avoid “packing out” the pump or hose:
• Use the lowest pressure and largest nozzle size 
that provides an acceptable spray pattern. Thi s will 
also result in seals and wear parts lasting much 
longer.
• Do not use any more fluid hose than is necessary.
• Use an applicator with a rubber tip retainer that will 
blow off if it plugs.
Before Starting or Stopping Material 
Flow
• Never dead end the pump against the fluid shut-off 
ball valve.
• Start and stop the fluid flow with the red-ha ndl ed 
brass air motor pilot valve at the applicator.

To prevent material curing in system, never load 
mortar into a dry system. Loading mortar into 
a dry system will cause the mortar to stick to 
internal components and cure causing damage 
and requiring replacement of those parts.

Air Flow Valve Adjustment
To decrease air flow, turn valve knob clockwise. 
To increase air flow, turn valve knob
counterclockwise. 
Check material and thin as needed to maintain the
proper consistency. The material may thicken as it 
sits and could slow down application or affect the 
spray pattern.
Flush and dry applicator thoroughly at the end of each 
use. Tips and retainers must be cleaned by hand.
Material Flow Adjustments
For a lighter spray pattern, adjust the air needle 
closer to the fluid nozzle and/or reduce the fluid flow.
For a heavier spray pattern, adjust the air needle 
farther back from the fluid tip and/or increase the 
fluid flow.

Spray Techniques
1. Test the spray pattern on cardboard. Hold 
the applicator 6-18 in. (150-450 mm) from the 
surface. Use this spraying distance for most 
applications.
2. Adjust fluid flow until material flow is a dequate.
2. Insert screwdriver through hole in tab of nozzle 
retaining cap.
3. Push screwdriver head against notch on 
applicator tip and pry nozzle retaining cap over 
lip until it snaps into place.
3. Adjust the applicator air assist needle valve to 
achieve a uniform round spray pattern.
4. Consider the size of aggregate in the material 
and the coarseness of the spray pattern. Larger 
nozzles allow heavier patterns.
5. Overlap each stroke 50%. A circular overlapping 
pattern may give the best results, and is obtained 
by grasping the flex-head and swinging the head 
around as the hose flexes.
When spraying small confined areas use the valve 
and knob to make fine adjustments without adjusting 
the pump.
Typically desired spray pressure is 20-25 psi 
(140-170 kPa, 1.4-1.7 bar) on the motor air 
regulator (F). Higher pressures may cause excessive 
wear on the fluid pump. Select a fluid tip l arge 
enough to spray at low pressure. Some materia ls will 
packout at higher pressures.

it is fully seated.
Material Compatibility
NOTICE
To prevent the seals and rubber tip from swelling, 
do not leave solvent in the applicato r when not in 
use.
The nylon hose in the Flex Applicator is compatible 
with solvents. The rubber gasket in the cam and 
groove inlet fitting and the rubber nozzle retainer 
should be hand cleaned and dried after each use.
