Setup
5. Be sure your system is properly grounded
before operating it. Read and follow the warning
section, FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD, on page
4. Use the grounding wire and clamp (47) when-
ever the sprayer is used as a stationary unit.
6. Fill the gas tank. See Fueling, page 8.
7. Flush the pump to remove the lightweight oil
which was left in the pump to protect it from rust.
a. Before using water–base paint, flush with
mineral spirits, followed by soapy water, and
then flush with clean water.
b. Before using oil–base paint, flush with mineral
spirits, only.
c. See Flushing on page 11 for the flushing
procedure.
8. Prepare the paint according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
a. Remove any skin that may have formed.
b. Stir the paint to mix the pigments.
c. Strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag
(available at most paint dealers) to remove the
particles that could clog the filter or spray tip.
This is probably the most important step
toward trouble–free spraying.
9. Keep the sprayer upright and level during
operation and whenever it is being moved. See the
last CAUTION on page 9.
