Title Usage
Overspray:
Priming with the Remote Suction Set:
1. If you are using the remote suction set, you will need to
prime the sprayer by removing air from the system. To
prime:
Make sure the sprayer is plugged in, and turn the flow
control knob counterclockwise to maximum.
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.
2. Hold the sprayer below the level of the paint. This will
speed up the priming.
IMPORTanT
Some sprayed materials create a cloud of paint. Some of that cloud will spray past your intended object and also bounce off of
it. Wind and air currents may cause this cloud to drift onto surfaces not intended to be sprayed. You can control the amount of
overspray and bounce-back by adjusting your flow and moving the sprayer closer to the work piece, but always make sure that
you have a good spray pattern. Always test your pattern on a scrap piece of wood or cardboard, and make sure that you have
drop cloths protecting anything not being sprayed.
anything you don’t want painted that is in the area of your spraying surface should be covered or removed.
• 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 set 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: The suction tube 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.
