Preparing to Paint

Before painting, it is important to make sure that the fluid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.
NOTE: Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the
valves to become stuck closed, which would
require disassembly and cleaning of the
sprayer's fluid 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.
note: hold the return hose in the waste container when
moving the PRIMe/SPRay valve to PRIMe in case
the sprayer is pressurized.
5. Move the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
6. Start the engine:
a. Open the fuel valve lever.
b. Move the throttle lever away from the gas tank.
c. Close the engine choke lever.
d. Holding the frame with one hand, pull the starter rope
rapidly and firmly. Continue to hold the rope as you let it
return. Pull and return the rope until the engine starts.
7. Turn on the sprayer by moving the sprayer ON/OFF switch
to the ON position.
8. Slowly turn the pressure control knob clockwise to
increase the pressure until fluid starts to come out of the
return hose. Use only enough pressure to keep the fluid
coming out.
9. Allow the sprayer to run for 15–30 seconds to flush the
old solvent out through the return hose and into the metal
waste container.
10. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its
lowest setting.
