and extends the life of the exhaust system components.
• Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline
mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.
Gasolines Containing Alcohol
If you decide to use a gasoline containing alcohol (gasohol), be
sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by
the engine manufacturer. There are two types of “gasohol”: one
containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do not use
gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline
containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also
contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never
use gasoline containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.

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 exing your wrist.
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.

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.
8. Use the lowest pressure
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

Important Facts Concerning this Sprayer
This gas-powered sprayer contains a clutch that engages when
the sprayer is pumping. The sprayer’s pressure control system
engages and disengages the clutch to control pressure. To prevent
unnecessary wear to the clutch, it is advisable to adjust the engine
speed and pressure setting to limit the amount of times the clutch
engages and disengages. To reduce clutch wear, refer to the
following examples.
Example:
Operating one gun with a .019 tip — reduce the engine speed by
adjusting the throttle to a low or medium setting and increase
pressure only until the heavy ends of the spray pattern have been
eliminated.
Example:
Operating one gun with .023 tip — increase engine speed to a higher
setting and increase pressure until the heavy ends of the spray
pattern have been eliminated.
Example:
Spraying light-bodied materials at low pressure — to reduce surging
at the gun and to decrease clutch wear, reduce the engine speed to
idle and reduce pressure until the desired spray pattern is achieved.
