Preparing to Paint
Before painting, it is important to make sure that the uid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.
NOTE: Incompatible uids and paint may cause the
valves to become stuck closed, which would
require disassembly and cleaning of the
sprayer’s uid section.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun
in the locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent for the material being sprayed (refer to
recommendations of the material manufacturer). An
example of the appropriate solvent is water for latex paint.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest pressure setting.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to the PRIME position.
5. Move the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
