GT-25 Instructions and Parts List
12. Always shut off air pressure at
source and bleed off all pressure in
paint tank by turning pressure
release valve before loosening
knobs.
13. Regularly check to be sure gauge
and regulator are functioning
correctly. Also check that no paint or
other deposits are in the safety valve
inlet. In the event more than 60 psi is
applied to the tank and the safety
valve is clogged, the higher pressure
could damage the tank or result in
injury.
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of
open flame or near
ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
14. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
15. Use a face mask/respirator when
spraying and spray in
a well ventilated area
to prevent health and
fire hazards.
16. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation on
the compressor.
17. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
Failure to follow
instructions on
proper assembly and use of a paint
tank may possibly result in damage to
property or personal injury. This unit
must be assembled as indicated in
these instructions. only parts
supplied with this unit should be
used. These parts are safety
performance engineered. use only
oEM replacement components.
EQUIPMENT USE
This paint tank is designed to be used
with a spray gun.
TO USE A SPRAY GUN
1. Install the two hose connectors into
the remaining ports of the tank
regulator.
2. Attach the air supply hose (not
Included) to the 1/4” NPT air inlet
connector of regulator (back side of
arrow).
3. Attach an air hose between the
regulator out port and the spray gun
air inlet.
NOTE: A 15 ft. air hose and 15 ft.
material hose between the paint tank and
spray gun is recommended. Up to 25 ft.
of air hose may be used between the
paint tank and the compressor. A longer
length may create a large pressure drop.
1. Before using the tank for the first time,
the seal and bracket position should
be established by pre-pressurizing the
tank.
a. Connect the material hose to the
spray gun.
b. Connect the air hose from
regulator to the spray gun or cap.
c. Before filling the tank with paint
material, evenly tighten the knobs
so that the lid is secure and sealed.
d. Close the paint tank regulator by
turning fully counterclockwise, then
open the air regulator on the
source to deliver air to the paint
tank regulator.
e. Increase paint tank pressure by
turning the knob clockwise until 30
psi reads on the tank regulator
gauge.
f. Check for leaks in the system. If a
fitting leaks, depressurize the tank
by shutting off the air at the air
source regulator and turning the
knob on the pressure release valve
until air no longer hisses from it.
Tighten the leaking fitting, then
open the air source regulator to
deliver 30 psi into the paint tank
