Warnings The following Warnings are for the safe setup, use, grounding, maintenance and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. Refer back to these Warnings. Warning WARNING This symbol alerts you to the possibility of serious injury or death if you do not follow the instructions. Caution CAUTION Alerts you to the possibility of damage or destruction of equipment if you do not follow the instructions.
Warnings WARNINGS Burn Hazard Equipment surfaces and fluid that is heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe burns, do not touch hot fluid or equipment. Wait until equipment/fluid has cooled completely. Pressurized Equipment Hazard Compressed air can inject in skin. Air tubing rupture can cause injury if disconnected while under pressure. To reduce risk of injury: • Never exceed maximum working pressure of any attachment. • Do not direct airstream at body.

Pressure Relief Procedure Pressure Relief Procedure IMPORTANT To reduce the risk of injury, follow this Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you: • Are instructed to relieve pressure • Stop spraying • Service equipment • Install or clean spray nozzle • Disconnect or connect hose. F OF ON E 23 ti3903a TI3037A G TI 1 Turn Engine ON/OFF (E) switch OFF. 6 2 Open gun air valve (23). 3 Trigger gun. Spray material back into hopper (G).

Tighten securely). 5 Connect one end of material hose (cc) to material outlet (K or L) and the other end to gun material inlet (bb). 6 Open gun air valve (23). 7 Check engine oil level. Add SAE 10W-30 (summer) or 5W-20 (winter) oil, if necessary. 8 Fill fuel tank (A) (Fueling, page 13). NOTE: Material plug must be installed in material outlet (K or L) you are not using.
Setup Compressor Power Pack V S Q ti3784a ti3891a Removing Compressor Power Pack (Z) For outdoor use, the compressor power pack (Z) can be left on the cart. 1 Disconnect air line quick connect fitting (Q) from compressor air quick connect inlet fitting (V). 2 Loosen motor lock knob (S) by turning it counter-clockwise, relieving tension on bracket. 3 Push knob down.
Setup , ti3959a Reinstalling Compressor Power Pack (Z) Note: For maximum performance use a 3/8 in. or 1/2 in. inside diameter hose. Hose must be rated for: • 200°F (93°C) maximum temperature • 125 psi or greater 1 Disconnect air hose from the compressor power pack quick disconnect fitting (dd) and from the cart air quick disconnect fitting (V). 2 Inspect cart and compressor power pack (Z). Remove any debris or dirt on side rails of cart and/or compressor power pack.
Setup Wetting Hose water 23 closed ti3903a ti4005a ti3898a Wet inside of hose before each use to flush out sediment and prevent texture material from packing out hose. 1 Pour one (1) gallon (3.8 liters) of clean water into hopper. 2 Close gun air valve (23). 3 Start engine, page 15. Aim gun into hopper (G) and trigger gun to circulate water for a few minutes to wet inside of material hose. 23 ti4290a WASTE 4 Trigger gun into waste pail until hopper no longer contains water.
Setup Wetting System ti3905a TI CAUTION 1 Fill hopper (G) with prepared texture material. Do not mix material in hopper. Mixing material in hopper can damage hopper, result in an inconsistent mix and packout can occur. CAUTION 2 Install tip. See Nozzle Selection Chart, page page 16. 3 Open gun air valve (23) to relieve air pressure. Do not allow material to flow out of gun when air valve (23) is closed or material packout in needle can occur.
Setup Mixing Material ti3906a ti3907a CAUTION Do not use any solvent-based materials. Use water-based materials only. Proper material mixture is essential. The pump will not operate if material is too thick. NOTE: For best results, mix material in a separate container and pour it into hopper. 2 Agitate to a smooth, lump-free consistency. 3 After texture material is thoroughly mixed, gently set ball end of Material Thickness Gauge on surface of mixture.
Setup Fueling E OF F ON TI3037A A ti3962a ti3908a Fuel Specifications Refueling Procedure • 1 Shut OFF engine. Remove fuel tank cover. 2 In a well ventilated area, add unleaded automotive gasoline to fuel tank. Leave 1/2 (13 mm) at top of tank for gasoline expansion. Use automotive gasoline with a pump octane number of 86 or higher. If engine knocks or pings, use a higher octane fuel. • Unleaded fuel minimizes combustion chamber deposits.
Setup K L T 23 closed U plug ti4005a ti3787a 14 • Always have material outlet plug installed in opening (K or L) that you are not using when there is material in hopper. If plug is removed, hopper will drain out. • also Always have material hose installed in the opening (K or L) when there is material in hopper. If hose is removed, hopper will drain out through pump. ti3910a • Compressor air pressure is controlled with the pressure control knob (T) and displayed on gage.

Spray Techniques Spray Techniques Nozzle Selection IMPORTANT Keep pump and hose clean when switching between simulated acoustic, knockdown and orange peel applications. A dirty pump can release particles of texture into the finish. Nozzle Selection Application Nozzle Orifice2 Nozzle No. Air Volume1 Fog 1/8 in. 3 high 3/16 in. (fine) 4 1/4 in.

Spray Techniques System Adjustment A A ti4004a ti3999a ti4000a 1 Open air valve (A). 2 Test spray pattern on cardboard. Hold gun 18 to 30 in. (457 to 762 mm) from surface. Use this spray distance for most applications. Overlap each stroke 50% in a circular motion. 3 Adjust air valve (A) to achieve uniform, round spray pattern. It may be necessary to change spray nozzle to achieve desired spray pattern.
Spray Techniques A B D ti4006a ti4000a ti4339a Material Flow Adjustment • • For a lighter spray pattern, decrease material pressure at sprayer. For a heavier spray pattern, increase material pressure at sprayer. Air Flow Adjustment • Trigger gun. • To decrease air flow, close air valve (A) (clockwise). • To increase air flow, open air valve (A) (counter-clockwise).
Shutdown and Cleanup Shutdown and Cleanup CAUTION English • Turn off sprayer if you are going to stop spraying for 5 minutes or longer. • Before removing material hose relieve pressure and material is not in hose. • To keep sprayer in good operating condition, always clean it thoroughly and prepare it properly for storage. • If water freezes in sprayer, damage may occur. Inn cold weather store sprayer where it will not freeze. ti4288a When you have finished spraying: 1 Relieve Pressure, page 6.
