PAILS
• Solvent and oil based fluids: follow local code. Use only conductive metal pails, place on a grounded surface
such as concrete.
• Do not place pail on a nonconductive surface such as paper or cardboard which interrupt grounding continuity.
• To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gun with the
airless tip removed firmly to side of the grounded metal pail. Then trigger gun.
START UP
Throughout these instrucĦons Model # T-5 and T-7 and the instrucĦons for the T360 Airless spray gun are shown
in all illustraĦons.
1. Connect TriTech airless hose to sprayer. Tighten securely.
2. Connect other end of the hose to gun.
3. Tighten securely.
4. Remove Ħp guard.
5. Check inlet strainer for clogs and debris.
6. Fill upper retainer with TriLube to prevent premature packing wear. Do this each �me you spray.
7. Plug power supply cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
8. Turn pressure relief valve down.
9. Place siphon tube set in grounded metal container parĦally filled with flushing fluid. Use mineral spirits to flush
storage oil.
10. Turn pressure control to lowest pressure. Turn pressure relief valve down.
11. Turn power ON.
12. Increase pressure to start motor and allow fluid to circulate through pressure relief tube for 15 seconds; then
turn pressure down.
13. Turn pressure relief valve horizontal. Take spray gun trigger safety OFF.
14. Hold gun against grounded metal container. Trigger gun and increase fluid pressure to half way. Flush 1
minute. Inspect for leaks. If a leak occurs follow the pressure relief procedure then Ħghten fiO ng were leak
occurred. Do not aŃempt to stop leaks with hand or rag! Repeat Start-up 1-5 again. If no leaks, proceed.
15. Place siphon tube in paint pail.
16. Trigger gun again into metal container unĦl paint appears. Move gun to paint pail and trigger for 20 seconds.
Set the safety to ON posiĦon. Assemble Ħp and guard. (See following secĦon).
TIP AND GUARD ASSEMBLY
1. Insert metal seal and "black bellow" seal assembly by placing seals on the end of T93R Contractor Ħp and insert
through guard. Line up seals by turning Ħp.
2. Insert Tip
3. Screw assembly onto gun. Tighten.
SPRAYING
1. Spray test paŃern. Start with pressure turned to its lowest seO ng, then gradually increase pressure unĦl you
achieve a consistent spray paŃern without heavy edges. Use smaller Ħp size if pressure adjustment cannot
eliminate heavy edges.
2. Hold gun perpendicular 10-12 inches in of front surface. Spray back and forth overlapping by 20%. To prevent
heavy spots, start moving the gun before pulling the trigger. When spraying, aŌer releasing trigger conĦnue to
move gun.
