instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as
to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided. If the plug will not t the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make
sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same
conguration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this
product.
• Paint or solvent owing through the equipment is able to
result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of re
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 specied by the manufacturer.
• Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded
to prevent static discharge.
• Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension
cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
• 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.
• 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 ammable vapors. Keep
pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do not spray pump
assembly.
• Do not smoke in the spray area.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags,

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.
Approximately
10 to 12 inches
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving
your entire arm back and forth rather than just exing your wrist.

removing, replacing or cleaning tip.
Valve
Pressure
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end
of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
The spray gun should be triggered by turning it on and o 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.
Keep stroke
even
Aproximately
10 to 12 inches
Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even coating.
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the pressure

2. Remove the inlet valve assembly using a 27 millimeter socket
or box end wrench.
3. Test movement of the valve by pushing on it from the open
end of the valve housing with a screwdriver or the eraser end
of a pencil. It should move about 1/16 of an inch. If it does
not move, it should be cleaned or replaced.
NOTE: The inlet valve must be oiled
after every job. This will reduce
or eliminate priming problems
the next time the unit is used
as well as extend the life of the
valve.
4. Thoroughly clean the valve assembly with
water or the appropriate solvent. Use a small brush.
5. If the valve has been properly cleaned and water drips out of
the bottom, the valve is worn and needs to be replaced. A
properly seated valve lled with water and held vertically will
not drip.

visually. To test for a worn outlet valve assembly,
turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its
highest setting and run water only through the
pump for 10 to 15 minutes without triggering the
gun.
If the valve is defective, the end cap will get very hot
to the touch. If it is functioning properly, it will stay
approximately the same temperature as the water
running through it.
Lire toutes ces consignes avant d’utiliser l’appareil.
Garder ces consignes.
Indique une situation à risque, laquelle, si elle n’est pas
évitée, peut entraîner des blessures graves, voire la mort.
Pour réduire les risques d’incendie ou d’explosion,
de choc électrique et de blessure, vous devez lire et
comprendre les directives gurant dans ce manuel.
Familiarisez-vous avec les commandes et l’utilisation
adéquate de l’équipement.
Directives de mise à la terre
Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas de court-circuit, cette
précaution réduit les risques de choc en procurant un parcours
au courant électrique. Le cordon de l’appareil est doté d’un l de
terre relié à la troisième broche de sa che. Cette dernière doit être
branchée dans une prise correctement câblée et mise à la terre
conformément aux codes et règlements locaux.
MISE EN GARDE - Le fait de ne pas brancher
correctement la che trilaire de l’appareil peut
entraîner des risques de choc électrique.
Si on doit réparer ou remplacer le cordon ou la che, ne pas raccorder
le l de terre à la borne des broches plates (lames) de cette dernière.
Ce l, normalement vert (avec ou sans rayures jaunes), doit être relié
à la broche de terre.
Consulter un technicien ou un électricien qualié à défaut de
comprendre l’ensemble des présentes directives ou en cas
d’incertitude quant à la mise à terre de l’appareil. Ne pas modier la
che de l’appareil; si elle ne s’adapte pas dans la prise voulue, la faire
remplacer par un électricien qualié.
Conçu pour les circuits de 120 V, cet appareil est doté d’une che
ressemblant à celle illustrée ci-dessous. S’assurer que le produit est
connecté à une prise électrique ayant la même conguration que la
che mâle. Ne pas utiliser d’adaptateur avec ce produit.

MESURES PRÉVENTIVES :
• Ne pulvérisez pas de matières inammables ou combustibles
• S’entourer de toutes les précautions possibles lorsqu’on utilise
plus de 31 m (100 pi); il est préférable de rallonger
le tuyau à peinture que le cordon d’alimentation.
Les rallonges plus courtes assureront la puissance
électrique requise pour un fonctionnement
adéquat.
MISE EN GARDE : EXPLOSION OU INCENDIE
Les émanations de certains produits peuvent exploser
ou s’enammer, et risquent d’entraîner des dommages
matériels ou de graves blessures.
près d’une amme nue, de voyants lumineux ou de sources
d’ignition telles que des objets chauds, cigarettes, moteurs,
matériel et appareils électriques. Évitez de produire des
étincelles en connectant et en déconnectant les cordons
électriques.
des produits ayant un point d’éclair inférieur à 38°C (100°F).
Le point d’éclair est la température à laquelle le liquide peut
créer susamment de vapeurs et s’enammer.
• L’écoulement de peinture ou de solvant dans l’équipement
peut produire de l’électricité statique. L’électricité statique
crée un risque d’incendie ou d’explosion en présence de
fumées de peinture ou de solvant. Toutes les pièces du
système du pulvérisateur, y compris la pompe, l’ensemble
du tuyau, le pistolet de pulvérisation et les objets dans et
autour de la zone de pulvérisation doivent être correctement
reliés à la terre pour protéger contre les décharges
d’électricité statique et les étincelles. N’utilisez que des
tuyaux conducteurs ou reliés à la terre pour pulvérisateurs de
peinture sous vide à haute pression, spéciés par le fabricant.
• Vériez que tous les conteneurs ou systèmes de stockage sont
reliés à la terre pour éviter les décharges d’électricité statique.
• Connectez à une prise électrique avec prise de terre et utilisez
des rallonges électriques reliées à la terre. N’utilisez pas
d’adaptateur 3 à 2.
• N’utilisez pas de peinture ou de solvant contenant du halon,
par exemple, le chlore, les agents antimoisissure à l’eau
de Javel, le chlorure de méthylène et le trichloroéthane.
Ils ne sont pas compatibles avec l’aluminium. Contactez le
fournisseur de revêtements pour connaître la compatibilité du
matériau avec l’aluminium.
• La zone de pulvérisation doit toujours être bien aérée. Une
bonne quantité d’air frais doit constamment traverser la zone
de pulvérisation pour éviter les accumulations de vapeurs
inammables. Le système de pompage doit être placé
dans une zone bien aérée. Ne pulvérisez pas le système de
pompage.
• Ne fumez pas dans la zone de pulvérisation.
• N’actionnez pas d’interrupteurs électriques, de moteurs ou
autres dispositifs produisant des étincelles dans la zone de
pulvérisation.
• Maintenez la propreté de la zone et veillez à ce qu’elle ne
contienne pas de conteneurs de peinture ou de solvant, de
chions et autres matières inammables.
• Sachez ce que contiennent la peinture et les solvants
pulvérisés. Lisez les ches de sécurité du matériel (MSDS) et
les étiquettes apposées sur les conteneurs de peintures et de
solvants. Respectez les consignes de sécurité du fabricant de
peinture et de solvant.
• Placez la pompe à une distance minimum de 7,62 mètres
(25 pieds) de l’objet à pulvériser, dans une zone bien aérée
(ajoutez de la longueur de tuyau si besoin est). Les vapeurs
inammables sont souvent plus lourdes que l’air. La zone près
du sol doit être très bien aérée. La pompe contient des pièces
qui produisent des arcs et émettent des étincelles pouvant
enammer les vapeurs.
• Le plastique peut causer des étincelles d’électricité statique.
N’accrochez aucun plastique dans une zone de pulvérisation
fermée. N’utilisez pas de toiles de protection en plastique
quand vous pulvérisez une matière inammable.
• Ayez un extincteur en bon état de fonctionnement à portée de
main.
MISE EN GARDE : INJECTION CUTANÉE
Le jet de haute pression produit par cet appareil peut
transpercer la peau et les tissus sous-jacents, causant des
blessures graves pouvant entraîner l’amputation.
MESURES PRÉVENTIVES :
• Ne dirigez pas le pistolet sur et ne pulvérisez pas les personnes
ou les animaux.
• N’approchez pas les mains ni d’autres parties du corps de la
sortie du produit. Par exemple, ne tentez pas d’arrêter une
fuite avec une partie du corps.
• NE JAMAIS mettre la main, même gantée, devant le pistolet
(les gants n’orent aucune protection contre les blessures par
injection).
