-gallon pressure pot
allows fast, continuous spraying for larger jobs. Higher fluid PSI results in
faster application rates with the pressure pot.
Features:
•
Lightweight construction
•
Semi-pneumatic tires (no flats)
•
30-foot fluid hose
•
Fold-down handle for storage or transporting
•
Compressor filtered for longer life
•
Wide cart for better stability
Set-up for the Portable Cart is fast and simple.
1. Convert the spray gun from the Maxum I cup gun to a pressure
gun (see cart manual).
2. Mount the cart bracket to the bottom of the turbine as shown in
the diagram on p. 23.
3. Plug turbine power cord into cart outlet.
4. Connect the compressor air hose into the pressure pot inlet.
5. Attach the material hose to the material outlet fitting of
the pressure pot, and to the material inlet of the gun.
6. Attach the turbine air hose to the air outlet fitting of the turbine,
and to the air inlet fitting on the handle of the gun.
7. Place up to 2.5 gallons of paint into the pressure pot.
Note: When using a 1-gallon can in the pressure pot, make sure the pick-up
tube does not bottom out on the can, obstructing the flow of paint to the gun.
In this instance the pick-up tube must be reduced by

''. If using a pot liner,
pour the paint directly into the liner and secure the pressure pot lid.
8. Plug the cart power cord into a 110-volt power supply. Turn
cart and turbine power switches to ON position.
9. Adjust the power regulator to approximately 6 PSI for
light-viscosity materials (lacquers or stains). Use 8 to 15
PSI for heavier paints (enamels to latex).
The correct pressure setting is critical when using the
pressure pot. Always start with the lowest possible
setting depending on your material viscosity.
The fluid pressure is adjusted by the regulator located
on the lid of the pressure pot. Turn clockwise for higher
PSI and counter-clockwise for lower PSI.
