Know Your Controls
Know Your Controls
The ON/OFF power switch controls the main
power to your sprayer.
The Pressure Control knob increases or
decreases the pressure and flow of the paint.
The Prime/Spray Valve directs the fluid to
either the Drain Tube or the hose and gun. It
is used to prime the sprayer, which means to
evacuate the air out of the pump, hose, and
gun.
Your gun will not spray if there is air in the
system. It is necessary to prime the pump,
hose, and gun any time air enters the Suction
Tube.
The Spray Tip is the key to airless spray
technology. High pressure paint pumped
through the very small hole in the Spray Tip
comes out as a spray.
