Your sprayer will not spray with air in the pump. Turn Prime Knob down to PRIME position when priming the sprayer or to relieve system pressure. Turn Prime Knob forward to SPRAY position to spray fluid. VacuValve The VacuValve is used to evacuate air out of the FlexLiner. This is necessary for the sprayer to prime.
Driver Installation Driver Installation Driver Selection Your sprayer is compatible with cordless Drill Drivers and Impact Drivers. • • 3. Drill Drivers are best for slower applications with more control. Always run Drill Drivers in the ‘drill’ setting. Secure Driver to Driver Support Foot with Driver Strap. Impact Drivers are best for higher productivity applications and can be run at whatever speed setting gives desired spray results. Standard Orientation 1.
Driver Installation 2. Connect chuck of Driver to Drive-Shaft of sprayer. 3. Place Driver onto Driver Support Foot. You may need to extend Driver Support Arm to fit your Driver. 3A9402A 4. Secure Driver to Driver Support Foot with Driver Strap. NOTE: Gravity Feed Orientation is ideal for use with the Detail Cup, which is sold separately.
Setup Setup Pressure Relief Procedure Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol. This sprayer builds up an internal pressure of 2000 psi (138 bar, 13.8 MPa) during use. To prevent serious injury from skin injection, follow this Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, servicing, or transporting equipment. 1. 12 Cup Fill Use only water-based materials to prevent serious injury from fire and explosion. 1.
Setup 2. Firmly tighten the Cup Lid onto the Cup Support to ensure an airtight seal. NOTE: To ensure an airtight seal, the gasket inside the Cup Lid is lubricated by the factory. If lubrication has washed away, apply Seal Lube (included) to the gasket. 4. The Strainer’s Air Tube will prevent paint from overfilling the cup. Fill the cup as follows: a. Watching the Funnel (not the cup), slowly pour paint into the Funnel. When the paint stops draining down, the cup is full.
Setup c. Lift up the Strainer and look to verify you can see crossbars in the bottom of the Funnel. If not, the cup is overfilled. Pour excess paint back into the paint can. Crossbars d. 14 Remove the Funnel and Strainer from the cup and hook on edge of paint can.
Startup 1. Install the cup onto the sprayer as follows: a. Verify Pump Filter is installed and clean. Startup 2. Prime the pump as follows: a. Verify Prime Knob is pointed down to PRIME position. b. Open the VacuValve cap and gently squeeze the FlexLiner until no more air bubbles appear in the VacuValve. NOTE: Tilt the sprayer such that the VacuValve is the highest point so that all air in the FlexLiner can be fully evacuated. b. c. Align VacuValve (on Cup Lid) with Prime Knob (on sprayer).
Startup c. Continue to squeeze the FlexLiner while pulling the Trigger for 10 seconds. NOTE: This will purge all air from the pump and cup. Paint will not spray out, but will recirculate through the pump and back into the cup. d. When no more air bubbles appear in the VacuValve, release the Trigger and close the VacuValve cap. Continue to squeeze the FlexLiner until the VacuValve is closed. 3. Turn Prime Knob forward to SPRAY position. Verify Spray Tip is forward in the SPRAY position. 4.
Spraying Use only water-based materials to prevent serious injury from fire and explosion. 1. 2. 3. Pointing the Spray Tip at a piece of scrap cardboard, pull the Trigger to test the spray pattern. Spraying Spray Tip Orientation To avoid serious injury from skin injection, do not put your hand in front of the Spray Tip or Tip Guard. NO YES If your Driver has speed settings, experiment with available settings to find your preferred spray pattern.
Spraying Spray Pattern Quality A good spray pattern is evenly distributed without voids or runs. Adjust sprayer Speed Control (if available), hand speed, and distance from the wall to get a good spray pattern. If tails persist, material may need to be thinned.
