Operator Controls
The following section describes the operator controls on the
spray gun and line striper.
Spray Gun Trigger Lock
Always engage the gun’s trigger
lock when the gun is not in use.
The gun is locked when the trigger
lock is at a 90º angle (perpendicular
to the trigger in either direction).
Spray Lever
The spray lever is a dual-function lever. It is
located on the cart handle. The spray lever
controls the throttle on the engine as well
as the trigger on the spray gun. The initial
pull of the spray lever engages the throttle
and revs up the engine. This engages the
engine clutch with the pump and causes the
sprayer to build pressure. Fully pulling the
spray lever triggers the spray gun. While striping, the spray lever
should be fully pulled for proper operation.
NOTE: The sprayer is equipped with an automatic safety
shut-off switch to prevent the sprayer from overpressurizing. When the PRIME/SPRAY knob is
