Safety Precautions

This manual contains information that must be read and understood before using the equipment. When you come to an area that has one of the following symbols, pay particular attention and make certain to heed the safeguard.

This symbol indicates a potential hazard that may cause serious injury or loss of life. Important safety information will follow.

This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you or to the equipment. Important information that tells how to prevent damage to the equipment or how to avoid causes of minor injuries will follow.

The maximum operating range of the unit is 20.7 MPa (3000 PSI) fluid pressure.

PREVENTION:

• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.

• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream. DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.

• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an injection injury.

• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the fluid pump off and release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard, changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be released by turning off the engine. The PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate positions to relieve system pressure. Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in this manual.

• ALWAYS keep tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.

• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the system.

• The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect the hose before each use.

• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and trigger guard in place.

• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is

important to treat the injury as soon as possible. DO NOT delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some coatings injected directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.

Earthing Instructions

Electric models must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with an appropriate earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER — Improper installation of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green earthing wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the earthing wire and must be connected to the earthing pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Attaching the Tip to the Gun

1. Lock the trigger by rotating the trigger lock forward until it stops.

POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD. Do not spray without the tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun unless the tip is in either the spray or the unclog position. Always engage the gun trigger lock before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.

2. Thread the tip guard onto the gun. Tighten the nut first by hand, then tighten more firmly with a wrench.

NOTE: When attaching the tip guard to the gun, align

the tip guard as shown in the figure below, then tighten with a wrench.

Attaching the Paint Hose

. Attach the high pressure hose to the paint sprayer. Use a

rench to tighten the paint hose securely.

2. Attach the spray gun to the other end of the high pressure hose. Tighten the hose securely to the gun using two wrenches.

3. Plug the sprayer into a properly grounded outlet or heavy duty grounded extension cord. Do not use more than 100 feet of cord. If you must spray a long distance from a power source, use more paint hose, not more extension cords. Use a minimum size of 16 gauge extension cord for up to 50 feet in length, or 12 to 14 gauge for extension cords between 50 and 100 feet in length.

Checking the Outlet Valve (optional)

1. Firmly press the optional pusher valve button on the side of the pump housing to make sure the outlet ball valve moves freely.

Priming

Preparing to Prime

1. Fill the inlet valve with water or with a light household oil.

2. Make sure the PRIME/SPRAY valve is set to PRIME and that the pressure control knob is turned counterclockwise to the lowest pressure setting.

Move the motor ON/OFF switch

3. to ON.

4. Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control knob clockwise 1/2 turn.

5. Force the inlet valve to open and close by pushing on it with a screwdriver or the eraser end of a pencil. It should move up and down about 1/16 of an inch. Continue until water or oil is sucked into the sprayer. This will wet the moving parts and break loose any old paint residue.

6. Put the palm of your hand over the inlet. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its maximum setting. You should feel suction coming from the inlet valve. If you do not, see the section on cleaning and servicing the outlet valve.

7. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the minimum pressure setting.

8. Move the motor ON/OFF switch to OFF.
