Start Up Start Up Use only water-based or oil-based (mineral spirit-type) materials with a flash point greater than 100° F (38° C). Do not use materials which state “FLAMMABLE” on the packaging. For more information about your material, request SDS from distributor or retailer. Previously opened paint may contain dried paint or other debris. To avoid priming problems and tip clogs it is advisable to strain the paint before using. Paint strainers are available where paint is sold.
Start Up 3. Align VacuValve on cup cover with Prime Pump/Spray knob. Push cup assembly onto sprayer and twist to lock. 6. Stop squeezing the FlexLiner and snap the VacuValve cap closed. You will hear the cap click when it is closed properly. ti23355a ti23258b 4. The VacuValve is an important part of your new sprayer. It is used to evacuate the air out of the FlexLiner. Open VacuValve cap. 7. Plug sprayer into power source. 8. Turn Prime Pump/Spray knob down to Prime Pump position.
Start Up 9. Air from pump may have entered the FlexLiner during priming. Repeat Steps 4 - 6 to ensure all air is evacuated. 11. Make certain spray tip is in the spray position. 10. Turn Prime Pump/Spray knob forward to spray position. Spray SPRAY UNCLOG ti23290a 12. You are now ready to spray.
Start Up If sprayer does not spray, try one of the steps below: • Make certain there is only one FlexLiner in cup support. It is possible for two liners to nest tightly together and appear as only one. • Make certain the cup cover is properly threaded to the cup support. If threads are visible below the cup cover when tight, then the cover is cross-threaded. Fully remove the cup cover and reinstall to the cup support so no threads are visible when tight.
How to Spray How to Spray Take a few moments prior to spraying and review these simple tips to ensure your spraying project is a success. Dual Speed Control (Not available on all units) Spray Techniques Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice these basic spraying techniques before you begin spraying the surface. • Hold sprayer 10 in. (25 cm) from surface and aim straight at surface. Tilting the sprayer to direct the spray angle causes an uneven finish. • Flex wrist to keep sprayer pointed straight.
How to Spray Aiming Sprayer EVEN FINISH THIN THICK Aim sprayer at bottom edge of previous stroke, overlapping each stroke by half. THIN ti23378a Rotating the spray tip guard changes the pattern to either the vertical or horizontal orientations. ti23375a Triggering Sprayer When spraying vertical corners turn spray tip guard to the horizontal orientation and move sprayer up and down. Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release trigger before end of stroke.
How to Spray Spray Pattern Quality If you see pulsations in the pattern, try the following: A good spray pattern is evenly distributed as it hits the surface. If tails persist, material may need to be thinned. If material needs to be thinned follow manufacturers recommendations.
Cleanup Cleanup 1. Disconnect power (unplug power cord). 2. Turn Prime Pump/Spray Knob down to PRIME PUMP position to relieve pressure. Use only water-based or oil-based (mineral spirit-type) materials with flash point greater than 100° F (38° C). Do not use materials which state “FLAMMABLE” on the packaging. For more information about your material, request SDS from distributor or retailer. Prime Pump Clean in a well-ventilated area. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
Cleanup 3. Set the sprayer upside down on a flat surface. This will keep the wet paint in the cup cover. Return excess material to original container. Hold the FlexLiner in place when pouring. 8. Make certain the Prime Pump/Spray knob is in the Prime Pump position (pointed down). On models with a dual speed control switch, set speed control to HIGH.

Cleanup 16. Use a soft cloth to clean the cup support and cup cover. ti23372a ti23389a NOTICE 13. Remove cup assembly and discard used fluid. Dispose of used cleaning fluid properly. The spray tip guard is permanently attached to the sprayer. Removal for cleaning is not necessary and will result in damage to the sprayer. 14. Replace cleaning fluid and repeat steps 1- 13 until spray output is clean. IMPORTANT! For best results, do not spray more than one cup of water through the tip while cleaning.
Storage Storage NOTICE Failure to store sprayer with Pump Armor will result in operational problems the next time you spray. Always circulate Pump Armor through the sprayer after cleaning. Water or solvents other than mineral spirits left in the sprayer will corrode and damage the pump. ti23707b Pump Armor fluid protects the sprayer while in storage. It helps protect sprayer against freezing and corrosion when not in use. 7. With sprayer upside-down attach cup support with FlexLiner to sprayer. 1.
