Painting in airless Mode

Use the airless mode for general high-pressure spraying (pump
pressure from 500 to 2800 PSI).
1. Make sure that the airless spray hose is free of kinks and
clear of objects with sharp cutting edges.
2. Turn the pressure control knob
counterclockwise to its lowest
setting.
3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to
SPRAY.
4. Move the pump ON/OFF switch to
the ON position.
5. Turn the pressure control knob
clockwise to its highest setting.
The paint hose should stiffen as
paint begins to flow through it.
6. Unlock the spray gun trigger.
7. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the material hose.
8. When material reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to
check the spray pattern.
9. Use the lowest pressure setting necessary to get a good
spray pattern. If the pressure is set too high, the spray
pattern will be too light. If the pressure is set too low,
tailing will appear or the paint will spatter out in "gobs"
rather than in a fine spray.

Pressure Relief Procedure

Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure
when shutting the unit down for any purpose,
including servicing or adjusting any part of the
spray system, changing or cleaning spray tips, or
preparing for cleanup.
1. Turn the pressure control knob
counterclockwise to its lowest
setting.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to
the PRIME position.
3. Trigger the gun to remove any
pressure that still may be in the
hose.
4. Lock the gun by flipping the trigger
lock into lock position (see spray
gun manual).
Injection hazard. Do not spray without the tip
guard in place. NEvER trigger the gun unless the
tip is completely turned to either the spray or the
unclog position. aLWayS engage the gun trigger
lock before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.

Spraying Technique

The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire
surface. This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm
moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant
distance from the surface. The best spraying distance is 10 to 12
inches between the spray tip and the surface.

Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means
moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing
your wrist.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one
end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
The spray gun should be triggered by turning it on and off with
each stroke. This will save paint and avoid paint buildup at
the end of the stroke. Do not trigger the gun during the middle
of a stroke. This will result in an uneven spray and splotchy
coverage.

Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even
coating.
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the
pressure control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting and
set the priming knob to PRIME. Turn the motor switch to OFF
and unplug the sprayer.
If you expect to be gone more than 1 hour, follow the short term
clean up procedure described in the Cleanup section of this
manual.
