SETTING UP TO SPRAY - CONTINUED
10. Turn pressure control knob (ref# 75) counter clockwise to lowest pressure
setting.
11. Observe and perform all pre-operation checks as required by the engine
manufacturer, ( Honda ). See your Honda owner’s manual.
12. Start engine. See Honda owner’s manual for correct procedures.
13. Turn prime valve knob (ref# 46) counter clockwise until fully open. Allow
thinner to circulate back into the siphon pail for a few minutes. Then turn the
prime valve knob clockwise to close the valve ( close tightly ), and direct the
flow to the paint hose and gun. Leave the pressure setting low.
14. Trigger gun into a waste container.
15. Remove rinse / prime fluid and pour paint through strainer bag into siphon pail.
16. Repeat step 13, until paint flows freely.
NOTE; Never turn prime valve back to "prime" position when the unit is
under pressure.
NOTE: The thicker paint will require a longer time to complete the initial
prime circulation through the prime valve. Leave the valve in the prime
position to ensure the complete removal of all air and pre-prime fluid. Several
minutes may be required, particularly with thicker viscosity products.
17. Spray a test pattern. Begin by spraying a test pattern onto old newspaper or
other scrap material.
18. Increase the pressure, slowly at first, by turning the pressure control knob
clockwise. Continue increasing the pressure until the spray pattern is
uniformed from top to bottom, with no heavy areas. Secure pressure control
setting, by turning the silver lock ring (ref# 77) counter clockwise until snugly
against the face of the pressure control knob. If heavy areas are still visible at
maximum pressure setting, thin the paint with the correct thinner, according to
the paint manufacturer's recommendations.
19. Spray paint.
Paint Straining
It is recommended that all products entering the sprayer, be pre-strained to
remove any large particles and contaminants, BEFORE they are drawn into
the sprayer. The strainer bag should remain in place throughout the painting
operation. This will prevent foreign matter from falling into the bucket and
contaminating the previously strained paint. The gun filter should not be re-
lied upon to do all the paint filtration. Any dirt, grime or other undesirable
particles which reach the gun filter have passed through the entire paint
pump and have possibly created unnecessary damage and inconvenience.
Always strain the paint before siphoning.
