Warning! Be sure to use appropriate protective gear
and unplug unit.
Warning! Make sure area is well ventilated and free of
flammable vapors.
Aligning the pickup tube (Fig. B
The pickup tube can be aligned in the direction that you
will be doing the most spraying to help minimize the
amount of times that you will have to refill the canister.
f If you are spraying at an upward angle or straight on,
position the pickup tube (Fig. B) toward the back of
the canister.
f If you are spraying at a downward angle, position the
pickup tube (Fig. B1) toward the front of the canister.
This will ensure you spray as much material as
possible before you need to refill.
Attaching the air hose (Fig. C and C1)
f Insert one end of the air hose into the back of the
sprayer. A slight twisting action when inserting the
hose will help insure a snug fit.
f Insert the other end of the air hose into the back of the
power unit. A slight twisting action when inserting the
hose will help insure a snug fit.
Liquid material preparation (Fig. D1 and D2)
Tip: Make sure the type of material you use can be
cleaned with either mineral spirits or paint thinner (for oil-
based paints) or a warm water and soap solution (for water
soluble paints like latex). Use drop cloths during pouring,
mixing, and viscosity testing of materials to be sprayed
to protect your floors and anything else in the spraying
area that you wish to remain untouched.
The liquid being sprayed may need to be thinned (diluted)
before starting. When thinning, use the proper liquid
thinner recommended on the container by the material
manufacturer.
Warning!: Do not use materials with a flashpoint higher
than 60°C (140°F) .
A viscosity test cup is provided to determine the
"runout time" of the material being used.
f Before measuring for the proper viscosity, stir the
material throughly.
f Dip the viscosity cup into the material being sprayed
and fill the cup completely.
f With the cup held over the material container,
measure the amount of time it takes for the stream

and
of material flowing out to "break" or stop being a
constant stream out of the bottom of the cup (2
minutes or less) (Fig. D1). This is the "runout time"
Refer to the thinning table for information on the
thinning required for different materials.
f If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid
thinning material recommended by the manufacturer
(Fig. D2).
f It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit,
however, the required thinning may exceed material
manufacturer's recommendation. Thin latex paint
so that it runs through viscosity cup in under 2
minutes. The operator should consider the type of
application and final location of the project when
spraying a material that requires more than 2 minutes
to run through the viscosity cup,

PREPARATION TIPS
f Always stir and strain the material throughly before use.
f With any spraying job you should always ensure that
you have properly prepared the surface to get the best
finish. That is, all surfaces are free from dust, dirt,
rust and grease. Lightly pressure wash decks or
exterior surfaces and ensure that they are dry before
spraying.
f Even though HVLP sprayers have very little overspray,
it is recommended that you mask all edges and other
areas and use drop cloths to protect your floors and
anything else in the spraying area that you wish to
remain untouched.
f Skin that forms on the top of paint can clog the
sprayer. Remove skin before mixing. Strain with a
funnel with a filter attached or through hosiery to
remove any impurities that could clog system.
f Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc.
available for unexpected spills.
FILLING THE CANISTER (FIG. E)
f Check to make sure that the canister is completely
screwed onto the sprayer.
f Lay the sprayer on its side with the canister side lid
facing up.
