Priming and Flushing Storage
Fluid

Before you use your sprayer for the first time or begin a
new spraying project, you need to prime the sprayer and
flush the storage fluid out of the sprayer.

Oil- or Water-based Materials

• When spraying water-based materials, flush

the system thoroughly with water.

• When spraying oil-based materials, flush the

system thoroughly with mineral spirits or
compatible, oil-based flushing solvent.

• To spray water-based materials after
spraying oil-based materials, flush the system
thoroughly with water first. The water flowing
out of prime tube should be clear and
solvent-free before you begin spraying the
water-based material.

• To spray oil-based materials after spraying
water-based materials, flush the system
thoroughly with mineral spirits or a compatible
oil-based flushing solvent first. The solvent
flowing out of the prime tube should not contain
any water.

• When flushing with solvents, ground gun. Read
Grounding and Electric Requirements, page 4.

If hose is already connected, make sure connec­tions are tight.

• To avoid fluid splashing back on your skin or
into your eyes, always aim gun at inside wall of
pail.

1. Make sure AllControl is set to
OFF and sprayer is unplugged.

Spraying Techniques

Preventing Excessive Tip Wear

• Spray should be atomized (evenly distributed, no
gaps at edges). Start at low pressure setting,
increase pressure a little at a time until you see a
good spray pattern, without tails.

• Spray at lowest pressure that atomizes paint.

• If maximum sprayer pressure is not enough for a
good spray pattern, tip is too worn. See Reversible
Spray Tip Selection Chart, page 12.

Tip Selection

Selecting Tip Hole Size

Tips come in a variety of hole sizes for spraying a range
of fluids. Your sprayer includes an 0.015 in (0.38 mm) tip
for use in most spraying applications. Use the following
table to determine the range of recommended tip hole
sizes for each fluid type. If you need a tip other than the
one supplied, see the Reversible Tip Selection Chart on
page 12.

5. When obstruction is cleared, lock
trigger lock and rotate
arrow-shaped handle back to
SPRAY position.

ti9049a

Point the arrow-shaped handle on the spray tip forward
to SPRAY and backward to UNCLOG obstructions.

HINTS:

• As you spray, the tip wears and enlarges. Starting
with a tip hole size smaller than the maximum will
allow you to spray within the rated flow capacity of
the sprayer.

• Maximum tip hole size supported by the sprayer is

0.017 in. (0.43 mm).

TIA

Choosing the Correct Tip for the
Job

Consider coating and surface to be sprayed. Make sure
you use best tip hole size for that coating and best fan
width for that surface.

Tip Hole Size

Tip hole size controls flow rate - the amount of paint that
comes out of the gun.

HINTS:

• Use larger tip hole sizes with thicker coatings and
smaller tip hole sizes with thinner coatings.

• Maximum tip hole sizes supported by sprayer is

0.017 in. (0.43 mm).

• Tips wear with use and need periodic replacement.

Fan Width

Fan width is the size of the spray pattern, which deter­mines the area covered with each stroke. Narrower fans
deliver a thicker coat, and wider fans deliver a thinner
coat.

HINTS:

• Select a fan width best suited to the surface being
sprayed.

• Wider fans allow provide better coverage on broad,
open surfaces.

• Narrower fans provide better control on small, con­fined surfaces.

Understanding Tip Number

The last three digits of tip number (i.e.: 221413) contain
information about hole size and fan width on surface
when gun is held 12 in. (30.5 cm) from surface being
sprayed.

Problem Cause Solution

Motor is hot and runs intermittently.
This is NOT a thermal overload condition.
Motor automatically shuts off due to
excessive heat. Damage can occur if
cause is not corrected.
Thermal Overload, page 4.

Vent holes in enclosure are plugged or
sprayer is covered.

Extension cord is too long or not a heavy
enough gauge.

Unregulated electrical generator being
used has excessive voltage.

Sprayer was operated at high pressure
with very small tip which causes frequent
motor starts and excessive heat build up.

Troubleshooting

Keep vent holes clear of obstructions and
overspray and keep sprayer open to air.

Replace extension cord. Read Grounding
and Electrical Requirements, page 4.

Use electrical generator with a proper
voltage regulator. Sprayer requires
120VAC, 60 Hz, 1500-Watt generator.

Decrease by turning AllControl to lower
pressure setting or increase tip size.

Building circuit breaker opens after
sprayer operates for 5 to 10 minutes.
