Setup You will need: • Lubricant Note: The cup will give you approximately 3-5 minutes of continuous spraying time. 1 iMPORTANT: Avoid running the cup dry. An empty cup will allow air to become sucked into the sprayer, which leads to globbing and spitting. Setup: 1. Remove the cup. 2. Fill the container with the material to be used. 3. Place a few drops of lubricant down the intake (a) and return openings (b) in the pump housing. 4. Insert the suction tube into the intake opening.
Practice Spraying You will need: • a scrap piece of wood or cardboard Important - read before spraying Priming the Sprayer 1 Once you are ready to spray, it may take 20 seconds for material to spray after you pull the trigger. The sprayer may sound choppy, while at the same time spit or spray large globs briefly prior to the spray coming out in a fine mist. This is normal. Keep holding the trigger and material will come from the sprayer in a fine mist.
Spraying Technique Adjusting the spray tip assembly: Spraying horizontally (side to side): The adjustable spray tip assembly produces a pattern that can be adjusted horizontally or vertically. Rotate the spray adjustment guard as shown. Spraying vertically (up and down): To prevent an injection hazard, make sure the sprayer is unplugged before you adjust the spray tip. Make sure the spray tip is sufficiently hand tightened.
Spraying Troubleshooting Material spitting: Material “spitting” will occur any time you introduce air to the system, such as during refilling. When spitting occurs, paint will spray in large globs instead of a fine mist. The following are some common causes of spitting. a a. An empty container. recommendation: Be sure to maintain sufficient levels of spraying material in the material container. b. A suction tube that is not fully inserted into the intake opening.
Cleanup You will need: • Waste container • Warm soapy water if you sprayed latex materials • Mineral spirits if you sprayed oil-based materials 1 2 Make sure you clean the sprayer in a wellventilated area whenever cleaning with flammable solvents. The sprayer contains electrical parts. Do not submerge the sprayer into any liquids. 3 To Clean: 1. Unplug the sprayer. Pour the remaining material back into the original container. Rinse the inside of the cup with the appropriate cleaning solution. 2.
Reassembly / Maintenance You will need: • Scrap piece of wood or cardboard • Lubricant 1 To Reassemble: 1. Slide the spring onto the front end of the piston. Insert the piston into the back of the pump housing. 2. Insert the pump housing assembly into the front of the sprayer. 3. Place the locking nut onto the pump housing. Press in while turning the locking nut clockwise. Do not cross-thread the locking nut. Make certain it is threaded correctly before tightening. 4.

Replacement Parts Notice: Parts of your sprayer wear out with use and require regular replacement. They include the atomizer valve, piston and spring. These parts are not covered by your sprayer warranty. More abrasive materials such as latex paints and stains cause these parts to wear out faster than less abrasive materials such as oil-based paints and stains, thin stains and sealers. Atomizer valve: The atomizer valve is shaped to cause the material to spin as it comes out of the sprayer.
