Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure whenever you see this
symbol.
This equipment stays pressurized until
pressure is manually relieved. To help
prevent serious injury from pressurized
fluid or splashed fluid follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure whenever sprayer is
stopped and before sprayer is cleaned or
checked, and before equipment is
serviced.
1. Turn ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position. Wait 7 seconds for power to
dissipate.
2. Unplug sprayer.
3. Turn fluid regulator all the way down.
4. Aim gun into hopper or waste bucket and
trigger the gun until all air and material
pressure is relieved.
Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking and
electric shock. An electric or static spark
can cause fumes to ignite or explode. An
improper ground can cause electric shock.
A good ground provides an escape wire for
the electric current.
This sprayer includes a ground wire with an
appropriate ground contact. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Power Switch
A selector switch on the sprayer allows you
to operate the sprayer on either a 10A/240V
15A120V or 16A/240V or 20A120V circuit.
120V Sprayers
Select 15A or 20A depending on your circuit
rating.
240V Sprayers
Select 10A or 16A depending on your circuit
rating.
Extension Cords
Use an extension cord with an undamaged
ground contact. If an extension cord is
necessary, use a 3-wire, 12 AWG (2.5 mm
minimum.
NOTE: Lighter gauge or longer extension
cords may reduce sprayer performance.

Preparation
Hose Size and Length
The system comes with a 25 ft (7.6m) long
hose set consisting of a material hose 1 in. or
1.25 in. I.D. and a 3/8 in. I.D. air hose.
SoftStart/Smart Start™ System
“Soft Start” vs. “Smart Start”
•
“Smart” refers to the function where the
motor starts and stops when the trigger
is pulled and released. This keeps the
sprayer at full operating pressure and
allows the sprayer to spray immediately
when the gun is triggered.
• “Soft” refers to the function where the
sprayer slowly starts the pump. This
prevents a large “splotch” of material
from being discharged from the gun
when trigger is pulled after the sprayer
has sat idle for a period of time.
Soft Start
The Soft Start System is controlled by motor
power and an air cylinder. When pressurized,
the air cylinder pushes the rollers into the
peristaltic pump pushing material through the
pump. When the motor shuts off, a solenoid
valve relieves the pressure in the air cylinder
causing the rollers to disengage from the
peristaltic pump. When the motor starts again
there is a time delay while the air cylinders
charge and move the rollers into the pump
this is the “Soft Start”.
Smart Start
The Smart Start System is controlled by
compressed air in the tanks and lines. When
gun is triggered, air flows through the lines
and opens a flow switch. There is also
another pressure switch that senses when
the compressed air system is at operating
pressure. This second pressure switch
allows the sprayer to start immediately when
the sprayer is turned ON charging the
compressed air system to full pressure. This
method keeps the compressed air system at
operating pressure if there is a small air leak
in the system.

2. Hand tighten fitting.
Remove Hopper
Material hopper can be removed for easy
cleaning.
1. Loosen outlet fitting. Fittings are handtightened and should not require tools
to loosen.
Mixing Material
NOTE: Correct material mixture is essential.
The pump will not operate if the mixture is too
thick. Use water-based materials only.
• Mix the material in a separate container
before pouring it into hopper.
• Use Material Thickness Gauge to
determine if mixture is thin enough to
spray.
• The Material Thickness Gauge will only
determine if the material is thin enough
to pass through the pump. For some
applications or for higher speed
spraying, your mixture may need to be
thinner.
• If thicker materials are desired, test
pumping performance first. Then spray a
test pattern.
• For best results, do not use partial bags
of material.
1. Mix the material and water in a
separate container.

Operation
Adjusting the System
Sufficient fluid output (volume and pressure)
and good atomization is a balance of
atomizing air, material thickness/material
flow and nozzle selection. Achieving the
correct balance for your application requires
experimentation to achieve desired results.
Keep in mind these important points when
adjusting gun:
• To select correct nozzle for your
applications, consider size of aggregate
in material and coarseness of spray
pattern. Remember the larger the
nozzle, the larger the pattern. See
Recommended Nozzle & Disc
Selection Charts, page 15.
• Start sprayer with gun air control valve
completely open. If needed, slowly
close gun air control valve until you get
a good spray pattern. Use minimum
amount of air at spray gun to achieve
proper spray pattern and to minimize
bounce back.
+ Test spray pattern on cardboard.
Hold gun 18 to 30 in. (45.7 to 76.2 cm)
from surface. Use this spraying distance for most applications.
+ When spraying with a nozzle only
overlap each stroke 50% in a circular
motion.
+ When spraying with a nozzle and disc
overlap each stroke 50% in a linear
motion.

Material flow is controlled with the fluid
flow regulator knob and displayed on the
gauge. Gun air flow is regulated using
air control valve located on the gun handle.
+ Opening air control valve increases
air flow through gun, which decreases
texture material flow through pump.
+ Closing air control valve decreases
air flow through gun, which increases
texture material flow through pump.
For Less Material Flow
Try one or a combination of these methods:
• Open air control valve.
• Turn gun flow adjustment nut to
decrease flow, counter-clockwise.
• Use smaller nozzle.
For More Material Flow
Try any one or a combination of these
methods:
• Close air control valve.
• Turn gun flow adjustment nut clockwise
to increase flow.
• Use thinner material mixture.
• Use a larger nozzle.
Preventing Material Surge at Gun
Trigger
Pressure will build up in the system when you
stop triggering the gun. To prevent material
surge at initial gun triggering:
• Point gun away from surface you are
spraying when you first pull trigger.
• When you first start to spray, hold the
gun away from the surface and gradually
work your way closer to it.
• Keep gun moving.
• After you begin spraying, trigger the gun
as little as possible.
For Continuous Spraying
Use trigger lock to hold trigger open and
reduce fatigue.
Check Material Consistency
Periodically
Check and thin material as needed to
maintain proper consistency. The material
may thicken as it sits and slow down
production. Agitate periodically.
16 3A3265B
Operation
Smart Start/Soft Start Operation
Smart Start
Sprayer will start under the following
conditions:
• A new sprayer is plugged in and ON/OFF
switch is turned ON.
• Gun is triggered and air control valve is
open far enough.
• There is a small leak in the system and
the pressure drops below the pressure
switch setting. This may appear to be
random operation.
• When a bleeder gun is used.
• When the pressure is relieved by
triggering the gun while the sprayer is
OFF and then turned back ON.
• Prime valve is opened.
• There is a hose failure (leak) in the twin
line hose.
Soft Start
•
The easiest way to tell if the Soft Start
System is functional is to spray material.
• The system is operating properly when a
small amount of material initially comes
out of the gun when triggered and the
volume of material slowly increases to
full spray.
NOTE: Motor runs when gun is triggered.
Sprayer is designed to stop pumping when
gun trigger is released.
ProGuard
This sprayer protects itself against high and
low voltage. If the sprayer is plugged into a
power source that is too low or too high the
sprayer will stop operating. This light has
three different states of operation: ON, blink,
and OFF.
Error Code Definition
Light is ON
Unit is powered and
operating normally.
Light is Blinking
Voltage supply is too
low or too high for
sprayer and will not run
until it is plugged into a
good power supply.
Light is OFF
No power to sprayer, or
there is another error
other than the voltage
supply.
NOTICE
The sprayer handle is for pushing or pulling
the sprayer only. Do not use sprayer handle
for lifting the unit, sprayer damage may
occur.

Shutdown and Cleanup
ti27968a
ti27969a
Shutdown and Cleanup
NOTE: Keep pump and hose clean when
switching between materials. A dirty pump
can release particles of texture into the finish.
• To increase pump life, life turn ON/OFF
switch OFF when not spraying.
• Before removing material hose, perform
Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8.
Make certain there is no material in the
hose.
• To keep sprayer in good operating
condition, always clean it throughly and
prepare it properly for storage.
6. Disconnect material hose from sprayer.
When you have finished spraying:
1. Drain remaining material into bucket
until most of texture material is out of
the hopper.
2. Fill material hopper with clean water.
3. Remove nozzle from gun. Trigger gun
into bucket until most of texture mix is
pumped out. Allow water to flow through
gun until gun is clean.
ti27960a
4. Open gun air control valve, forcing air
through nozzle to clear out any
remaining material.
5. Disconnect air line and material hose
from gun.
7. Insert sponge ball in material hose.
ti27970a
8. Connect material hose to sprayer.
9. Pour a couple of gallons (8 liters) of clean
water in the hopper.
10. Place the end of the material hose in a
waste bucket.
11. Turn ON/OFF switch to ON position.
Wait for sprayer to power up.
12. Circulate water through sprayer until
sponge ball comes out of the hose.
13. Retrieve sponge ball and clean with
clear water.
14. Spray water into a waste bucket to empty
material hopper.
15. Turn ON/OFF switch to OFF position.

Material hopper can be removed for easy
cleaning.
1. Loosen bottom fitting
2. Lift material hopper straight up, off the
unit.
3. Plug opening on bottom of material
hopper with your hand.
4. Take hopper to cleaning area for
cleaning.
5. After cleaning material hopper, position
it on sprayer aligning fitting to sprayer.
6. Hand tighten fitting.
