Tell the doctor exactly what fluid was injected. Have him read the following "NOTE TO PHYSICIAN". WARNING HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE EXTREMELY SERIOUS INJURY. OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS. THIS SPRAYER IS FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.

Do not put your fingers into any openings to avoid amputation by moving parts or burns on hot parts.Precaution is the best insurance against an accident. When starting the engine, maintain a safe distance from moving parts of the equipment.
WARNINGS - CONTINUED AVOID COMPONENT RUPTURE This sprayer operates at 3000 psi (205 bar). ALWAYS be sure that all components and accessories have a maximum working pressure of at least 3000 psi to avoid rupture which can result in serious bodily injury including injection and property damage. NEVER leave a pressurized sprayer unattended to avoid accidental operation of it which could result in serious bodily injury.
SETTING UP 1. CONNECT THE HOSE AND GUN a. Remove the plastic cap plug from the outlet and screw a conductive or grounded 3000 psi spray hose onto fluid outlet. b. Connect an airless spray gun to the other end of the hose, but do not install the spray tip yet! NOTE: Do not use thread sealer on swivel unions as they are made to self seal. NOTE: The 6' whip hose should always be 3/8". 2. FILL THE PACKING NUT/WET CUP Fill the Packing Nut/Wet Cup 1/3 full with Airlessco Throat Seal Oil (TSO). FIG 1 BELOW. FIG.
HOW TO FLUSH 1. Be sure the gun safety latch is engaged and there is no spray tip in the gun. Refer to Fig. 2. Refer to your separate instruction manual provided with your gun on its safety features and how to engage safety latch. 2. Pour enough clean, compatible solvent into a large, empty metal pail to fill the pump and hoses. 3. Place the suction tube into the pail or place the pail under the pump. 4. Turn the Control Valve to low/prime position (counter clockwise).
STARTING UP 1. LEARN HOW TO OPERATE THE CONTROL VALVE The control valve sets the prime or pressure position as well as the spraying pressure. When the valve is fully counter-clockwise the unit is in the prime position. As the control valve is turned clockwise, the unit’s output pressure to the gun is gradually increased until the control valve is fully clockwise and the unit is at it’s maximum output pressure of 1500 psi. This will fully atomize any stain or paint without needing to dilute the material.
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE ! IMPORTANT! TO AVOID POSSIBLE SERIOUS BODY INJURY, ALWAYS FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE WHENEVER THE SPRAYER IS SHUT OFF, WHEN CHECKING IT, WHEN INSTALLING, CHANGING OR CLEANING TIPS, WHENEVER YOU STOP SPRAYING, OR WHEN YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE. 1. Engage the gun safety latch. Refer to the separate instruction manual provided with your gun on its safety features and how to engage safety latch. 2. Turn the unit off. 4. Re-engage gun safety latch. 5.
LINE STRIPING OPERATION 1. CHOOSE THE GUN ARM POSITION There is a hole in each corner of the striper frame, in which the gun arm can be mounted. In a standard set up, the gun arm would be mounted in the right hand near the single wheel. This allows for an easier visual check for straight line striping and for basic arc striping. 2. SETTING UP THE GUN a. Ensure that a striping tip is in the gun. b. Pick a tip size for the desired line width. EXAMPLE: a 317ST tip for a four inch line. c.
