minimum setting.
3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME.
4. Turn the motor switch to OFF and unplug the sprayer.

top of the paint to prevent the paint from drying. For other
materials, seal the paint hopper with the hopper cover
keeping the return tube in the paint.
6. Wrap the spray gun assembly in a damp cloth and place it
in a plastic bag. Seal the bag shut.
7. Place the sprayer in a safe place out of the sun for short-
term storage.
Startup
1. Remove the gun from the plastic bag.
2. Stir the water into the paint for latex materials. Remove
the hopper cover from the paint hopper and stir the paint
for all other materials.
3. Check to be sure that the PRIME/SPRAY knob is set to
PRIME and that the pressure is completely reduced.
4. Plug sprayer in and turn the motor switch to ON.
5. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to SPRAY and gradually
turn the pressure control knob clockwise to increase the
pressure.

Long-Term Storage
Do not allow paint to build up on the motor or the motor
will overheat. Do not allow flammable solvents to come in
contact with the motor or they could ignite.
Do not use mineral spirits or paint thinner on latex paint,
or the mixture will turn into a jelly-like substance which is
difficult to remove.
Clearing the Paint Hopper
1. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock parallel with
the gun body.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum setting.
3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME.
4. Turn the motor switch to OFF and unplug the sprayer.
5. Direct the return tube into the original paint bucket.
6. Plug the sprayer in and turn the motor switch to ON.
7. Turn the pressure control knob to 1/2 maximum pressure.
This will draw the remaining paint in the paint hopper through
the pump, up the return tube, and into the paint bucket.
8. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum pressure setting.
9. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure and lock the gun.
10. Remove the spray tip and guard and place them into a
container of water or appropriate solvent for the type of
material with which you are painting.
11. Fill the paint hopper with water or an appropriate solvent
for the type of material with which you are painting.
12. Increase the pressure to 1/2 the maximum pressure. Let
the water or solvent circulate for 2-3 minutes to flush paint
out of the pump, the paint hopper, and the return tube.
Clearing the Paint Hose
1. To save paint left in the hose, release the gun trigger lock
and carefully trigger the gun with the spray tip removed
against the inside of the paint container.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum pressure setting.
3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to SPRAY.
4. Turn the pressure control knob slowly until paint starts to
flow into the bucket. As soon as the water or solvent
starts to come into the bucket, release the trigger.
5. Change to clean water or solvent and continue circulating
for another 5 minutes to thoroughly clean the hose, pump
and spray gun.
CAUTION
NOTE: If spraying with latex paint, use warm soapy
water for cleaning. If using oil or alkyd-based
paints, use mineral spirits or paint thinner.
NOTE: You will need a bucket, cleaning solution, a
toothbrush, a wrench and cleaning rags.
