and primers & finish quality paints. It sprays texture products in ready-mix or powdered
formulations for decorative finishes such as orange peel, splatter & knockdown. In addition,

• Submersed inlet valve fluid section uses ceramic ball valves for smooth,
uninterrupted application of joint compound and other heavy bodied materials

• Exclusive fluid section design eliminates the need for a wearable cylinder

• Use of the Splatter Nozzle and user supplied air compressor is necessary for

creating textured finishes

• Cannot spray aggregated materials

•

NOTE: This sprayer comes with a filter plug installed in place of the filter assembly. Use this filter plug when spraying
textured products from a ready-mixed or powdered formulation. The filter parts are included with the sprayer in the tool box
and can be installed when spraying standard materials (refer to the Filter Parts in the Parts List section of this manual).

SETUP

Perform the following procedure before plugging in the power cord of an electric sprayer.

NOTE: If the sprayer will be used for spraying textured products, removal of the inlet screen in the foot valve may be necessary. This will allow proper
priming and flow of the textured product. Refer to “Cleaning the Inlet Screen” in the Cleanup section of this manual for removal instructions.

1) Using a wrench, attach a minimum of 50’ of 1/4” nylon airless spray hose to the outlet fitting on the sprayer. Tighten securely.

2) Attach an airless spray gun to the spray hose. Using two wrenches (one on the gun and one on the hose), tighten securely. Make sure all airless hoses

and spray guns are electrically grounded and rated at or above the maximum operating pressure range of the airless sprayer.

3) Make sure the pressure control knob is in its OFF position in the black zone.

4) Fill the oil cup with one tablespoon of piston seal lubricant (Piston Lube).

5) Make sure the electrical service is 120V, 15 amp minimum & plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet at least 25’ from the spray area.

Always use a minimum 12 gauge, three-wire extension cord with a grounded plug. Never remove the third prong or use an adapter.

SPRAYING

1) Prepare the material to be sprayed according to the guidelines given by the material manufacturer.

2) Place the foot valve into a container of material.

3) Place the return hose into a metal waste container.

4) Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure control knob to the “Min” setting in the yellow zone.

5) Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to the PRIME position.

NOTE: Hold the return hose in the waste container when moving the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME in case the sprayer is pressurized.

6) Turn on the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

7) Allow the sprayer to run until material is coming through the return hose into the metal waste container.

8) Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

9) Remove the return hose from the waste container and place it in its operating position above the container of material.

10) Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to the SPRAY position.

11) Turn on the sprayer.

12) Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the unlocked position.

Ground the gun by holding it against the edge of the metal container while flushing. Failure to do so may lead to a static electric discharge, which may cause a
fire.

13) Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until all air and solvent is flushed from the spray hose and material is flowing freely from the gun.

14) Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked position.

15) Turn off the sprayer.

16) Attach tip guard and tip to the gun as instructed by the tip guard or tip manuals.

NOTE: When spraying textured products, the use of a splatter nozzle on the spray gun may be necessary. The splatter nozzle adds atomizing air to the fluid
stream to create the desired material consistency. Refer to the Splatter Nozzle Instruction Sheet (P/N 313-2468) for detailed instructions.

17) Turn on the sprayer.

18) Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control knob slowly clockwise toward the green zone and test the spray pattern on a piece of cardboard.

Adjust the pressure control knob until the spray from the gun is completely atomized. Try to keep the pressure control knob at the lowest setting that
maintains good atomization.

Splatter Nozzle Introduction

The splatter nozzle accessory enables a standard airless spray gun to spray a textured pattern. The equipment needed to use
the splatter nozzle includes an airless spray gun, airless sprayer, and air compressor. Through the use of separate fluid
pressure and air pressure controls, precise, consistent, and repeatable textured finishes can be achieved.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

• Airless Sprayer — minimum output of 1.0 gallons per minute

• Air Compressor — minimum air flow of 4.0 CFM to 12 CFM at full open

SETUP

WARNING - Never attempt to assemble, change, or clean a spray gun, tip, or accessory without first relieving pressure
from the spray system. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.

WARNING - Always engage gun trigger lock when the gun is not in use. Before servicing equipment, consult Owner’s
Manuals and follow all warnings.

1) Set up the sprayer. Refer to the instructions in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.

2) Set up the air compressor. Refer to the instructions in the compressor’s Owner’s Manual.

3) Set up the spray gun. Refer to the instructions in the spray gun’s Owner’s Manual. Do not attach the tip guard to

the spray gun.

4) Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure” described in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.

5) Make sure the gun seal is in position in the splatter nozzle retaining nut and thread the retaining nut onto the diffuser of the spray gun. Tighten

securely. Attach 1/4” compressor air hose to the splatter nozzle air valve.

OPERATION

1) Start the sprayer (refer to the instructions in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual). Set the fluid pressure between 500–1500 PSI as a starting point.

2) Start the air compressor (refer to the compressor’s Owner’s Manual). Set the air pressure between 30–60 PSI as a starting point.

3) Open the air valve on the splatter nozzle.

4) Trigger the spray gun onto a test area to check the operation of the splatter nozzle. The material and the air mix together in the mix nozzle to create the

final material consistency that is applied to the surface.

5) To obtain the desired material consistency, perform the following steps:
a) Adjust the fluid pressure and/or air pressure
b) Loosen the stem holder and slide the stem toward the front of the gun. This will move the air nozzle inside the housing closer to the mix nozzle and

decrease the size of the material particles in the mix nozzle. Tighten the stem holder.

c) Loosen the stem holder and slide the stem backward, away from the front of the gun. This will move the air nozzle inside the housing further away

from the mix nozzle and increase the size of the material particles inside the mix nozzle. Tighten the stem holder.

d) Change the air nozzle and/or the mix nozzle to a different size. Refer to the procedures below to change the nozzles.

NOTE: The splatter nozzle comes with the standard size mix nozzle and air nozzle installed. To increase the size of the material particles, use optional mix
nozzle 2 (0.240”) or mix nozzle 3 (0.312”) as well as optional air nozzle B (0.102”) (refer to the Parts List section).

CHANGING THE MIX NOZZLE

The mix nozzle can be changed with a different size mix nozzle, if desired. Use the following procedure to change the mix nozzle.

1) Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure” described in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.

2) Move the trigger lock on the spray gun to the locked position.

3) Using a wrench, loosen and remove the mix nozzle from the splatter nozzle housing.

4) Thread a new mix nozzle into the splatter nozzle housing. Tighten securely.

CHANGING THE AIR NOZZLE

The air nozzle can be changed with a different size air nozzle, if desired. Use the following procedure to change the air nozzle.

1. Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure” described in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.

2. Move the trigger lock on the spray gun to the locked position.

3. Using a wrench, loosen and remove the mix nozzle from the splatter nozzle housing.

4. Loosen the stem holder and slide the stem all the way toward the front of the gun.

5. Using a wrench, loosen and remove the air nozzle from the stem.

6. Thread a new air nozzle into the stem. Tighten securely.

7. Slide the stem backward, away from the front of the gun to its original position. Tighten the stem holder securely.

8. Thread the mix nozzle into the splatter nozzle housing. Tighten securely.
