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.

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
For the best spraying experience always
follow the Setup and Operation process. This
ensures that the material and sprayer are
ready to spray resulting in a successful
project.
Wetting Hose
Wet inside of hose before each use to flush
out sediment and prevent texture material
from packing out hose.
1.Pour one gallon (3.8 liters) of water into
the material hopper.
4.Trigger gun into waste pail until hopper
no longer contains water and all water is
removed from hose and pump system.
NOTICE
To prevent pump damage, before adding
material or starting unit in cold weather, run
warm water through the pump.
System Priming
The system recognizes air flow at the gun
when detected by an air flow sensor located
inside the sprayer.
Preferred Method
1.Turn ON/OFF switch to ON position.

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
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.
