Setup

1. Attach to Drill: Securely attach the Graco TrueCoat 360 unit to your standard cordless drill. Ensure the drill chuck is tightened firmly around the sprayer's drive shaft.
2. Insert FlexLiner Bag: Place a new FlexLiner paint bag into the paint cup.
3. Fill with Material: Pour your desired paint or stain into the FlexLiner bag. Do not overfill.
4. Secure Lid: Attach the cup lid firmly to the paint cup, ensuring a tight seal.
5. Prime the Sprayer: Turn the Prime Knob to the 'Prime' position. Activate your drill to draw material into the sprayer until it flows smoothly without air bubbles.
6. Select Spray Tip: Choose the appropriate spray tip for your project (paint or stain) and install it.

Operating Instructions

1. Adjust Flow Control: Use the flow control knob to adjust the amount of material being sprayed. Start with a lower setting and increase as needed for desired coverage.
2. Test Spray: Before applying to your project, test the spray pattern on a piece of scrap material. Adjust the flow and pattern until you achieve an even, consistent spray.
3. Maintain Distance: Hold the sprayer approximately 6-12 inches from the surface, depending on the desired finish and material.
4. Even Strokes: Use smooth, overlapping strokes to ensure uniform coverage. Release the trigger at the end of each pass to avoid excessive buildup.
5. Spray in Any Direction: The VacuValve technology allows you to spray in any direction, including overhead or upside down, without losing prime.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning after each use is crucial for the longevity and performance of your sprayer.

1. Empty Excess Material: Remove any remaining paint or stain from the FlexLiner bag.
2. Flush System: Fill the FlexLiner bag with an appropriate cleaning solution (water for latex, mineral spirits for oil-based paints). Spray the solution through the unit until it runs clear.
3. Clean Components: Disassemble the spray tip, guard, and FlexLiner bag. Clean all parts thoroughly with the appropriate cleaning solution and a brush.
4. Lubricate: Apply a small amount of pump armor or lubricant to the pump section as recommended by Graco to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.
5. Storage: Store the sprayer in a clean, dry place.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Graco TrueCoat 360, refer to the following common solutions:

• Sprayer Not Priming: Ensure the FlexLiner bag is properly seated and free of air. Check that the prime knob is in the correct position. The material might be too thick; try thinning it according to paint manufacturer recommendations.
• Clogging: Clean the spray tip and filter thoroughly. Ensure paint is properly strained before use to remove any debris.
• Inconsistent Spray Pattern: Adjust the flow control knob. Ensure the spray tip is clean and not worn. Check for proper material consistency.
• Leaking: Verify all connections are tight, especially the cup lid and spray tip. Check for damaged O-rings or seals and replace if necessary.
