Install an air line filter (H) in the main air line, to re
-
move harmful dirt and moisture from the compressed
air supply
. Install a bleed–type master air valve (J)
close to the pump air inlet, and downstream from the
pump air regulator (K). Install a second bleed valve (L)
upstream from all other accessories, to isolate the
accessories for servicing.Connect an air supply hose
between the main air supply line and the sprayer

WARNING
The bleed-type master air valve (J), air relief valve
(9), and fluid drain valve (E) are required in your
system, to help reduce the risk of serious injury
including fluid injection, splashing in the eyes or on
the skin, overpressurization, or injury from moving
parts if you are adjusting or repairing the pump.
The bleed-type master air valve relieves air trapped
between this valve and the pump. T
rapped air can
cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly
.
The air relief valve (supplied) opens automatically
to relieve air pressure to the pump if the pressure
exceeds a preset level. This valve prevents over-
pressurization of the spray gun.
The fluid drain valve assists in relieving fluid pres
-
sure in the displacement pump, hose, and gun;
triggering the gun to relieve pressure may not be
sufficient.
