Setup and Paint Preparation

Proper paint preparation is crucial for optimal spray performance and to prevent clogging. Always wear protective goggles and a mask during preparation and spraying.

1. Paint Dilution:

Use the included viscosity cup to test your paint's thickness. Different paints require different levels of dilution. Do not use latex paint or flammable liquids. Only use oil-based or water-based paints without precipitation and particles. If the paint in the cup does not run out within 50 seconds, it is too sticky and needs further dilution. Add the appropriate thinner (corresponding to your paint type) and stir thoroughly. Re-test until the paint flows out within 50 seconds.

2. Filling the Container:

Once diluted, transfer the paint into the 1400ml container using one of the provided paper funnels to filter out any impurities. This helps prevent nozzle blockages.
