Operation
4.5 Painting
1. Place the siphon hose into a container of paint.
2. Place the bleed hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its
lowest pressure setting (fig 7, 1).
4. Open the hydraulic shut-off valve (2) located on the hydraulic
pressure hose. The handle should be in line with the hose.
5. Open the bleed valve (3) by turning it fully counterclockwise.
6. Start the engine or turn on the electric motor.
a. To start the gas engine (fig. 8),
• move the fuel valve lever (2) to the open position,
• move the throttle lever (3) to its middle point,
• move the choke lever (4) to the closed position for a cold
engine or to the open position for a warm engine,
• turn the engine switch (1) to the ON position, and
• pull the starter rope (5) briskly until the engine starts.
b. To start the electric motor, move the ON/OFF switch to the ON
position.
7. Turn the pressure control knob (1) clockwise approximately
1/3 of the way down to increase pressure until the sprayer
cycles evenly and solvent flows freely from the bleed hose.
8. Turn off the sprayer.
a. To turn off the gas engine,
• set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure control
knob fully counterclockwise,
• move the throttle lever to the slow position, and
• turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
b. To turn off the electric motor,
• set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure control
knob fully counterclockwise,
• move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
9. Remove the bleed hose from the waste container and place it
into the container of paint.
10. Close the bleed valve by turning it fully clockwise.
11. Start the engine or turn on the electric motor.
12. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise approximately 1/3
of the way down to increase pressure.
13. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
Earth the gun by holding it against the edge of the
metal container while flushing. Failure to do so may
lead to a static electric discharge, which may cause
a fire.
14. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until all air and
solvent is flushed from the spray hose and paint is flowing
freely from the gun.
15. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position (fig 10).
16. Turn off the sprayer.
17. Attach tip guard and tip to the gun as instructed by the tip
guard or tip manuals.
POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD. Do not spray
without the tip guard in place. Never trigger the
gun unless the tip is in either the spray or the unclog
position. Always engage the gun trigger lock before
removing, replacing or cleaning tip.
18. Start the engine or turn on the electric motor.
19. Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control knob
slowly clockwise and test the spray pattern on a piece of
cardboard. Adjust the pressure control knob until the spray
from the gun is completely atomized.
GB
Turning the pressure up higher than needed to
i
atomize the paint will cause premature tip wear and
additional overspray.
4.6 Pressure Relief Procedure
Be sure to follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when
shutting the unit down for any purpose, including
servicing or adjusting any part of the spray system,
changing or cleaning spray nozzles, or preparing for
cleanup.
1. Lock the spray gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
locked position.
2. Turn off the sprayer.
a. To turn off the gas engine,
• set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure control
knob fully counterclockwise,
• move the throttle lever to the slow position, and
• turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
b. To turn off the electric motor,
• set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure control
knob fully counterclockwise,
• move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
3. Close the hydraulic shut-off valve on the hydraulic pressure
hose.
4. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
5. Hold the metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a metal
waste container to earth the gun and avoid a build up of static
electricity.
6. Trigger the gun to remove any pressure that may still be in the
hose.
7. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
8. Place the bleed hose into the metal waste container.
9. Open the bleed valve by turning it fully counterclockwise.
