valve (4). They each have factory installed Teon tape on the
male end of the hoses and should be wrench tight.

the sprayer. Do not use Teon tape or thread sealant on the
spray hose connection.
3. Attach an airless spray gun to the spray hose. Do not attach
the tip to the spray gun yet. Remove the tip if it is already
attached.
a. To use two guns, remove the plug from the second gun outlet
on the lter assembly. Connect a hose and gun to the outlet.

For multiple gun operation, connect a multiple gun
manifold to the single gun outlet. Connect a hose
and gun to each outlet. All connections that are not
used must be plugged.

Proper earthing (grounding) is important. The
passage of some materials through the nylon uid
hose will build up a static electric charge, which if
discharged, could ignite solvent vapors present and
create an explosion.
7. Make sure the sprayer is earthed (grounded). All sprayers are
equipped with a earthing (grounding) lug. An earthing cable
(not supplied) should be used to connect the sprayer to a true
earth ground.

8. Strain all paints with a nylon strainer to ensure trouble free
operation and freedom from frequent cleaning of the inlet
screen and gun lter.
9. Make sure the spray area is well ventilated to prevent
hazardous operation with volatile solvents or exhaust fumes.
If lacquer or other flammable materials are to be
sprayed, ALWAYS locate the compressor outside the
immediate spraying area. Failure to do so may cause
an explosion.
