Start Up Start Up Use only oil-based (non-flammable) or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint thinners. Do not use materials having flash points below 100°F (38°C). Do not use materials which state “FLAMMABLE” on the packaging. For more information about your material, request SDS from distributor or retailer. When spraying oil-based material, use outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a flow of fresh air. Keep spray area well-ventilated.
Start Up 1. Install FlexLiner in the cup support. 4. The VacuValve is an important part of your new sprayer. It is used to evacuate the air out of the FlexLiner. Your sprayer will not spray if there is air in the FlexLiner. ti29721a ti23361a 2. 5. Open VacuValve cap. Tilt the sprayer so the VacuValve is the highest point, causing any air in the FlexLiner to rise to the VacuValve. Gently squeeze the FlexLiner to evacuate all air through the VacuValve air hole.
Start Up 7. Install battery onto sprayer. 8. Turn Prime Pump/Spray knob down to Prime Pump position. Turn spray tip to the UNCLOG position. To fill sprayer with fluid, point sprayer into a waste area and hold the trigger in for 3–10 seconds. If sprayer does not spray, try one of the steps below: • Make certain there is only one FlexLiner in cup support. It is possible for two liners to nest tightly together and appear as only one. • Make certain the cup cover is properly threaded to the cup support.
Start Up Refilling FlexLiner If sprayer runs out of paint simply separate the cup support from the cup cover/sprayer and refill the FlexLiner. 1. Remove battery from the sprayer and open the VacuValve to allow air into the FlexLiner. 2. Separate the cup support from the cup cover/sprayer. Set the sprayer upside down on a flat surface. This will keep the wet paint in the cup cover. 12 ti29742a 3. Follow steps 2 – 12 in Starting a New Job, page 9.

How to Spray When spraying vertical corners turn spray tip guard to the horizontal orientation and move sprayer up and down. Clear Tip Clog In the event that particles or debris clog the spray tip, this sprayer is designed with a reversible spray tip that quickly and easily clears the particles without disassembling the sprayer. See for Strain the Paint, page 9 for additional information. 1. To unclog spray tip, turn Prime Pump/Spray knob down to Prime Pump position.
How to Spray 4. Aim sprayer at waste area, turn Prime Pump/Spray knob forward to spray position. Pull trigger to clear clog. 5. Turn Prime Pump/Spray knob down to Prime position. Rotate spray tip back to SPRAY position. Turn Prime Pump/Spray knob forward to SPRAY position, and resume spraying. 6. If spray tip is still clogged, you may have to repeat steps 1 - 5, or replace with new spray tip assembly. See Spray Tip Installation, page 22.
Cleanup Cleanup Use only oil-based (non-flammable) or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint thinners. Do not use materials having flash points below 100°F (38°C). Do not use materials which state “FLAMMABLE” on the packaging. For more information about your material, request SDS from distributor or retailer. Clean in a well-ventilated area. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
Cleanup 5. You can either dispose of the used FlexLiner and install a new FlexLiner or clean a used FlexLiner. 6. To clean the sprayer, fill FlexLiner approximately half-full with appropriate cleaning fluid (warm water or mineral spirits). 7. Securely tighten cup support with FlexLiner to cup cover/sprayer and close VacuValve. 8. To clean the cup cover and pump filter shake the entire sprayer for ten seconds. 9. Make certain the Prime Pump/Spray knob is in the Prime Pump position (pointed down).
Cleanup 11. Turn Prime Pump/Spray knob forward to SPRAY position. 12. While holding the sprayer upside down point the sprayer into a waste pail. a.

Remove VacuValve cap from cup cover and clean it. 2. Clean VacuValve reservoir in lid. 3. Clean VacuValve air hole.
Storage Storage With proper storage, the sprayer will be ready to use the next time it is needed. NOTICE Failure to store sprayer with Pump Armor can result in operational problems the next time you spray. Always circulate Pump Armor through the sprayer after cleaning. Water or solvents other than mineral spirits left in the sprayer will corrode and damage the pump. Pump Armor fluid protects the sprayer while in storage. It helps protect sprayer against freezing and corrosion when not in use. 1.

Reference Reference Fan Width Spray Tip Selection Fan width is the size of the spray pattern, which determines the area covered with each stroke. Selecting Tip Size Hints: Spray tips come in a variety of hole sizes for spraying a range of fluids. Your sprayer includes a tip for use in most paint spraying applications. Use the coatings table on page 13 to determine the range of recommended tip hole sizes for each fluid type. If you need a tip other than the one supplied, see the How to Spray, page 13.
Reference Cleaning Fluid Compatibility Oil- or Water-Based Materials • When spraying water-based materials, flush the system thoroughly with water. • When spraying oil-based materials, flush the system thoroughly with mineral spirits or compatible, oil-based flushing solvent. • To spray water-based materials after spraying oil-based materials, flush the system thoroughly with water first.
Maintenance Maintenance Routine maintenance is important to ensure proper operation of your sprayer. Activity Interval Inspect pump filter. Daily or each time you spray Inspect enclosure vents for blockage. Daily or each time you spray Inspect pump inlet holes located under pump filter for blockage. Each time the sprayer is cleaned Cleaning Outlet Valves Dirt and debris in the outlet valve assemblies may affect sprayer performance and require cleaning. 1.
