Priming with the Remote Suction Hoses
Follow these steps if you plan to spray while using the
remote suction hoses or the backpack kit.
• The time needed to prime will vary from 30 seconds
to 3 minutes depending upon the thickness of the
material you are spraying.
• If your sprayer is properly cleaned and oiled and it
takes longer than three minutes to prime, your piston
and/or pump housing may be worn and will need to
be replaced before using your remote suction set.
• Using the remote suction hoses will decrease the
material flow, so it will take longer to apply the same
amount of material to the surface being sprayed.
• A 75% duty cycle is recommended when using the
remote suction set. For example, trigger the gun for
15 seconds, and then allow the gun to remain idle
(untriggered) for 5 seconds.
IMPORTanT: always
make sure the tip nut is
tightened securely prior
to spraying.
Priming with the Remte Suction Hoses:
1a. If equipped -
Turn the material select lever to ‘PAINT’.
1b. If equipped -
Press the ‘SELECT’ switch until the light indicates
‘PAINT’.
2. Hold the sprayer even with the level of the paint. This
will speed up the priming.
3. Aim the sprayer at a piece of scrap wood or cardboard.
Squeeze the trigger and hold until all air is out of the
system and material is flowing freely out of the sprayer
tip. This could take up to three minutes.
IMPORTanT: The suction hose must remain
completely submerged in the material. If it is not
completely submerged and air is sucked into the
system, the piston could seize.
If the piston seizes, the sound the gun makes will
change to a low hum and the gun will quickly
become hot to the touch. never run the sprayer
when the piston is seized.
Should this happen, clean the piston and the pump
housing thoroughly using the cleanup procedures
found in this manual.
