OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

THE TEXTURE PRO®  REQUIRES A COMPRESSOR WITH A

MINIMUM RATING OF . CFM   PSI OR . CFM   PSI

CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR APPROPRIATE SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN OPERATING THE TEXTURE-PRO®  HOPPER GUN

OPERATIONAL FEATURES OF TEXTURE-PRO® 200

• MATERIAL: If you are using one of the commercially available wall or ceiling texture mixes,

follow the manfacturer’s instructions for mixing. If you are going to use “all purpose joint

compound” or “lightweight topping compound,” thin by adding approximately

 ⁄

gallon of

water for each gallon of joint or topping compound. After mixing, your texture material should

have a viscosity of thick paint or thin pancake batter.

• MATERIAL ORIFICE: In general, the Small Material Orifice will produce fine texture patterns,

such as a Fog or Light Splatter. The Medium Matrial Orifice will produce Orange Peel and

Medium Splatters. The Large Material Orifice will produce Heavy Splatters and is also used

when spraying acoustic.

• ATOMIZING PRESSURE (PSI): If the regulator of your compressor is set to supply a low

atomizing pressure (PSI) to your hopper gun it will produce a heavier texture pattern.

Increasing the atomizing pressure will produce increasing finer texture patterns.

• TRIGGER PULL: You will need to adjust the “trigger pull distance” by turning the Adjustable Stop (knurled knob) on the back of your hopper

gun either clockwise to shorten the trigger pull distance or counterclockwise to increase the trigger pull distance.

• INTERNAL CONTROL VALUE: Your hopper gun has an internal control valve. When you pull the trigger you start the airflow and release the

texture material from the hopper. Releasing the trigger stops the flow of texture material and shuts off the airflow.

• FLOW CONTROL VALVE: Allows you to make small adjustments to the airflow on the gun. This feature avoids having to go back to your air

compressor when only small adjustments to airflow are necessary.

ASSEMBLY & SET UP - TEXTURE-PRO® 200

• You will need to attach the Hopper to the hopper gun body by placing the hopper upside down on the floor or a table. Place the Hopper

Clamp over the neck of the Hopper. Position the hopper gun body so the handle is facing toward the rear of the Hopper and push down firmly

until it is seated. Tighten the Hopper Clamp.

• Apply thread sealant to Quick Disconnect threads. Thread the Quick Disconnect into the thread on the bottom of the handle of the hopper

gun body.

TEXTURING - VERTICAL SURFACES (WALLS)

1. Mask off ceilings, walls, floors, doorways, windows, moldings, furniture etc. you don’t want textured. Use a heavy drop cloth to protect floors.

2. Start your compressor and allow the tank to fill and compressor to shut off.

3. Fill the hopper of your hopper gun

 ⁄

 ⁄

full with texture material.

4. Stand 3 to 4 feet from the surface to be textured.

5. Lift your hopper gun toward the top right hand or left hand edge of the surface to be sprayed.

6. Pull the trigger until it stops against your pre-set “trigger pull distance” and immediately start spraying vertically down the wall until you are

nearing the bottom edge of the wall.

7. Without stopping, move sideways and start up the surface vertically, until you are near the top.

8. Without stopping, move sideways and start down the surface vertically.

9. Repeat this pattern until all the desired surfaces have been sprayed. Refill the Hopper as necessary.

10. If a “knockdown” texture is desired, wait until the top of the texture pattern changes from glossy to dull in appearance (normally 15 to 20

minutes) and gently flatten the texture with a knockdown knife, taping knife, or trowel.

TEXTURING - HORIZONTAL SURFACES (FLAT CEILINGS)

1. Mask off ceilings, walls, floors, doorways, windows, moldings, furniture etc. you don’t want textured. Use a heavy drop cloth to protect floors.

2. Start your compressor and allow the tank to fill and compressor to shut off.

3. Fill the hopper of your hopper gun

 ⁄

 ⁄

full with texture material.

4. Starting in a corner or along an edge, orient your hopper gun at a 45 degree angle to the surface of the ceiling.

5. Pull the Trigger and move sideways until you reach the opposite corner or edge.

6. Without stopping, move backwards and start sideways in the opposite direction until you reach your starting corner or edge.

7. Repeat these procedures until you have textured the entire surface or are nearing an opposing vertical surface.

8. If you are approaching an opposing vertical surface, stop approximately 6 feet from the surface, turn around and repeat steps 3, 4, and 5.
