4. Setup

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging.
2. Connect High-Pressure Hose: Attach one end of the high-pressure hose to the fluid outlet on the sprayer unit and the other end to the spray gun. Ensure all connections are tight using an adjustable wrench.
3. Install Spray Tip and Guard: Securely attach the spray tip guard to the spray gun, then insert the appropriate spray tip.
4. Position Suction and Return Tubes: Place the suction tube with its filter into the paint container. Position the return tube into a waste pail or back into the paint container for priming.
5. Prime the Sprayer:
   • Ensure the prime/spray valve is in the "Prime" position.
   • Turn on the sprayer. The pump will draw paint through the suction tube and expel air and paint through the return tube.
   • Once a steady stream of paint flows from the return tube, the system is primed. Turn off the sprayer.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Work Area: Mask off areas not to be painted and ensure adequate ventilation.
2. Adjust Pressure: Turn the pressure control knob to the desired setting. Start with a lower setting and increase gradually until a consistent spray pattern is achieved.
3. Begin Spraying:
   • Move the prime/spray valve to the "Spray" position.
   • Hold the spray gun approximately 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) from the surface.
   • Maintain a consistent distance and speed for an even coat. Overlap each pass by about 50%.
   • Release the trigger at the end of each pass to avoid paint buildup.
