IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
fire or explosion, electrical shock, and the injury to
persons, read and understand all instructions
included in this manual. Be familiar with the controls
and the proper usage of the equipment.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
1. Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near
an open flame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such
as hot objects, cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment
and electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks from
connecting and disconnecting power cords.
For units intended for use with only water-based

materials — Do not spray or clean with flammable
liquids. For use with water-based liquids only.
3. For units intended for use with only water-based or
mineral spirit-type materials with a minimum flash point
of 21ºC (69.8ºF) — Do not spray or clean with liquids
having a flash point of less than 21ºC (69.8ºF). Flash
point is the temperature at which a fluid can produce
enough vapor to ignite.
4. Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able
to result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a
risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or
solvent fumes. All parts of the spray system, including
the pump, hose assembly, spray gun and objects in and
around the spray area shall be properly grounded to
protect against static discharge and sparks. Use only
conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint
sprayer hoses specified by the manufacturer.
5. Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.
6. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded
extension cords. Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
7. Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating
supplier about compatibility of material with aluminum.
8. Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of
fresh air moving through the area to keep the air within
the spray area free from accumulation of flammable
vapors. Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area.
Do not spray pump assembly.
9. Do not smoke in the spray area.
10. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
11. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent
containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
12. Know the contents of the paint and solvents being
sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
and container labels provided with the paints and
solvents. Follow the paint and solvent manufacture’s
safety instructions.
13. Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the
spray object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if
necessary). Flammable vapors are often heavier than
air. Floor area must be extremely well ventilated. The
pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can
ignite vapors.
14. Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths
when spraying flammable material.
15. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and
working.
C. WARNING – To reduce the risk of skin injection:

solid coating, remove the gun filter and high
pressure filter screens.
Spraying Technique
The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire
surface. This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm
moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun at a
constant distance from the surface. The best spraying
distance is 10 to 12 inches between the spray tip and the
surface.
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means
moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing
your wrist.
The spray gun should be triggered by turning it on and off with
each stroke. This will save paint and avoid paint buildup at the
end of the stroke. Do not trigger the gun during the middle of
a stroke. This will result in an uneven spray and splotchy
coverage.
Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even
coating.
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the
pressure control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting
and set the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME. Turn the motor
switch to OFF and unplug the sprayer.
Practice
1. Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of
objects with sharp cutting edges.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its to
its lowest setting.
3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to SPRAY.
4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest
setting. The paint hose should stiffen as paint begins to
flow through it.
5. Unlock the gun trigger lock.
6. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the hose.
7. When paint reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to
check the spray pattern.
setting necessary to get a
good spray pattern. If the
pressure is set too high, the
spray pattern will be too light.
If the pressure is set too low,
tailing will appear or the paint
will spatter out in gobs rather
than in a fine spray.
Unclogging the Spray Tip
Should the spray tip become clogged,
reverse the spray tip with the lever and pull
the trigger. Once the obstruction comes out
of the spray tip, release the trigger, reverse
the spray tip back to the spray pattern
setting, and resume spraying.
Cleanup
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
9. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its
SPRAY position.
10. Turn on the sprayer and set the pressure to
minimum by turning the pressure control
