Sprayer functions and operates
differently than other airless paint sprayers. This section
will
help
you
become familiar with the sprayer before
operating
it.
Pressure Control
The pressure control includes an

switch for the
sprayer, the pressure adjusting control knob, and
a
pressure sensing device.
Its
function is to control the

that the sprayer maintains constant

Working together, the pressure control and motor
cause
the pump to cycle whenever there is fluid or
pressure demand. When the pump is cycling, the motor
sounds like an automobile starter cranking. When the

Because the motor

DC,
it
is less sensitive to low
voltage or voltage fluctuations than an AC motor, and
an extension cord of up to

Fluid Filter
The fluid filter provides the final paint straining to help
