— Do not spray or clean with ammable 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 ash point of 38ºC
(100ºF) — Do not spray or clean with liquids having a
ash point of less than 38ºC (100ºF). Flash point is the
temperature at which a uid can produce enough vapor to
ignite.
4. 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

chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
1. Gas engines are designed to give safe and dependable
service if operated according to instructions. Read and
understand the engine Owner’s Manual before operating
the engine. Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or equipment damage.
2. To prevent re hazards and to provide adequate
ventilation, keep the engine at least 1 meter (3 feet) away
from buildings and other equipment during operation. Do
not place ammable objects close to the engine.
3. Children and pets must be kept away from the area of
operation due to a possibility of burns from hot engine
components or injury from any equipment the engine may
be used to operate.
4. Know how to stop the engine quickly, and understand the
operation of all controls. Never permit anyone to operate
the engine without proper instructions.
5. Gasoline is extremely ammable and is explosive under
certain conditions.
6. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow ames or sparks in the refueling
area or where gasoline is stored.
7. Do not overll the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the

Fueling (gas engine)
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
• ALWAYS turn the engine off before refueling.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not smoke or allow ames or sparks in the refueling
area or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not overll the fuel tank. After refueling, make sure the
tank cap is closed properly and securely.
• Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or
fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing
of vapor.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
Fuel Specications
• Use automotive gasoline that has a pump octane number
of 86 or higher, or that has a research octane number of
91 or higher. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause
persistent “pinging” or heavy “spark knock” (a metallic
rapping noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine
damage.
NOTE: If “spark knock” or “pinging” occurs at a steady
engine speed under normal load, change brands
of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists,
consult an authorized dealer of the engine
manufacturer. Failure to do so is considered
misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not
covered by the engine manufacturer’s limited
warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light spark
knock while operating under heavy loads. This
is no cause for concern, it simply means your
engine is operating efciently.
• Unleaded fuel produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits 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 co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors.
NOTE: Fuel system damage or engine performance
problems resulting from the use of fuels that
contain alcohol is not covered under the
warranty. The engine manufacturer cannot
endorse the use of fuels containing methanol
since evidence of their suitability is incomplete at
this time.
Before buying gasoline from an unfamiliar
station, try to nd out if the gasoline contains
alcohol. If it does, conrm the type and
percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any
undesirable operating characteristics while using
a gasoline that contains alcohol, or one that you
think contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline that
you know does not contain alcohol.
Perform the following procedure before starting the engine of a
gas-powered line striper.
1. Ensure that the siphon hose
and the return hose are
attached and secure.
2. Position the spray gun.
a. Loosen the support bar
clamp hex screw and
rotate the gun support bar
to the desired position.
Tighten the hex screw
securely.
b. Loosen the gun holder
clamp knob and slide the
spray gun to the desired
vertical and horizontal
(front-to-back) position.
Tighten the knob securely.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
4. Make sure the pump ON/OFF switch is in the OFF
position.
5. Fill the uid section oil cup with approximately one
tablespoon of piston seal lubricant (Piston Lube).
NOTE: The height of the spray gun affects the width
of the spray pattern (i.e., the lower the gun, the
smaller the line width). Tip size also affects line
width.
IMPORTANT: Never operate unit for more than ten seconds
without fluid. Operating this unit without fluid will cause
unnecessary wear to the packings.
7. Check the engine oil level. The gasoline engine oil level
is determined by the manufacturer. Refer to the engine
manufacturer’s service manual (supplied).
8. Close the fuel shut-off lever and ll the gas tank with
gasoline. Use only high quality, unleaded gasoline.
NOTE: The gun support bar and the spray gun can be
mounted on either side of the sprayer. To move
the gun support bar:
a. Remove the support bar clamp hex screw and
nut.
b. Move the gun support bar to the opposite side of
the cart.
c. Align the support bar clamp with the bracket on
the cart.
d. Thread the clamp hex screw through the gun
support bar clamp and the bracket on the cart.
Place the nut on the end of the clamp hex screw
and tighten securely.
Adjusting the Trigger Tension
Use the following procedure to adjust the spring tension of the
trigger lever on the gun holder assembly. The trigger lever
pulls and releases the spray gun trigger when operated from
the trigger on the cart. The proper tension ensures that the gun
will shut off when the gun trigger is released. To ensure proper
tension, there should be approximately a 1/32” to 1/16” gap
between the trigger lever and the spray gun trigger.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the trigger lock on the spray
gun in the locked position while making adjustments to the
system.
1. Using a wrench, loosen the bolt on the cable block.
2. Move the cable block in the appropriate direction to create
a gap of 1/32” to 1/16” between the trigger lever and spray

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 .025” 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.

9. Route the two clutch eld wires through the hole and into
the control housing.
10. Carefully slide the clutch eld into its bore in the gear
housing until it “bottoms out” within the housing. Do not
pinch the clutch eld wires during installation.
11. Thread one of the pointed set screws into its hole. Using
an 1/8” hex wrench, rotate the screw slowly until it contacts
the clutch eld. Do not tighten the set screw. The tip of
the set screw should mate with the drill point hole in the
eld. Check the clutch eld for rotation. If it rotates within
its bore, the set screw is not seated within the drill point.
12. When the set screw is properly seated, install the remaining
three pointed set screws. Do not tighten the set screws.
13. Using a crossing pattern, tighten each of the pointed
setscrews until they are snug. Once all four pointed set
screws are snug, use a crossing pattern to tighten and
torque the set screws to 70–80 in./lbs.
IMPORTANT: It is very important to evenly snug, tighten,
and torque the clutch field pointed set screws in a crossing
pattern. This ensures the clutch field will stay centered in
the gear housing.
15. Line up the three screw holes and dowel pin hole on the
clutch rotor with the screw holes and dowel pin on the
drive shaft assembly hub. Place the clutch rotor onto the
hub.
16. Using a 3/16” hex wrench, thread the three socket screws
and lock washers through the clutch rotor and into the
drive shaft assembly hub. Evenly snug, tighten, and
torque the socket screws to 75–85 in/lbs.
17. Make sure the friction surface of the clutch rotor is clean
and free from oil or grease.
18. Locate the two clutch eld wires in the control housing.
Gently pull the wires fully into the EPC housing so that
there is no slack in the gear housing. Connect the wires
to their proper terminals on the relay (refer to the labels
created earlier in this procedure or the electrical schematic
in the Parts List section of this manual).
19. Carefully place the heat sink assembly over the control
housing taking care not to pinch any wires.
20. Install the four screws that secure the heat sink assembly
to the control housing. Tighten securely.

1. Place the gear housing assembly onto the cart in front
of the clutch housing. Line up the dowel pins in the
gear housing with their corresponding holes in the clutch
housing. Slide the gear housing assembly onto the clutch
housing until there is no gap between the housings.
2. Thread the four hex screws and lock washers through the
clutch housing and into the gear housing.
3. Using a 12 point, 5/16” wrench, snug and tighten the hex
screws in a crossing pattern. Torque to 140–155 in./lbs.
4. Using a 9/16” socket, thread the hex screw that secures
the gear housing to the cart through the underside of the
cart and into the gear housing. Torque to 100–120 in./lbs.
5. Connect the wire from the EPC housing to its mating
connector on the engine wire harness.
Checking the Clutch Gap
1. Remove the plastic plug from the top of the clutch housing.
Look through the port to locate the clutch armature and
the clutch rotor.
2. Check the gap between the clutch armature and the clutch
rotor using a .016” feeler gauge and a .035” feeler gauge.
a. Insert each feeler gauge through the port and into the gap
between the clutch armature and the clutch rotor. The
.016” feeler gauge should t in the gap. The .035” feeler
gauge should not t in the gap.
b. Pull the engine pull cord several times to rotate the clutch
armature, checking the gap with each feeler gauge
between each pull.
c. If the .016” gauge does not t or the .035” gauge does
t at any checkpoint, the gap must be readjusted. This is
done by relocating the clutch hub and armature assembly
on the engine shaft. Refer to the “Removing/Replacing
the Clutch Armature Assembly” procedure.

Familiarisez-vous avec les commandes et l’utilisation
adéquate de l’équipement.
AVERTISSEMENT – Pour réduire le risque
d’incendie ou d’explosion :
1. Ne pulvérisez pas de matières inammables ou
combustibles 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.
2. Pour les appareils destinés à n’utiliser que des produits à l’eau
– Ne pulvérisez pas et ne les nettoyez pas avec des liquides
inammables. Exclusivement pour usage avec liquides à base
d’eau.
3. Pour les appareils destinés à un usage exclusif avec des produits
à l’eau ou des produits minéraux de type alcool avec un point
d’éclair minimum de 38 ºC (100 ºF) – Ne pulvérisez pas et ne les
nettoyez pas avec des liquides ayant un point d’éclair inférieur à
38 ºC (100 ºF). Le point d’éclair est la température à laquelle un
uide peut produire sufsamment de vapeur pour s’enammer.
4. 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.
5. Vériez que tous les conteneurs ou systèmes de stockage sont
reliés à la terre pour éviter les décharges d’électricité statique.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Ne fumez pas dans la zone de pulvérisation.
10. N’actionnez pas d’interrupteurs électriques, de moteurs ou autres
dispositifs produisant des étincelles dans la zone de pulvérisation.
11. Maintenez la propreté de la zone et veillez à ce qu’elle ne
contienne pas de conteneurs de peinture ou de solvant, de
chiffons et autres matières inammables.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Ayez un extincteur en bon état de fonctionnement à portée de
main.
