Squeeze the trigger until fluid flows from the gun.
This primes the hoses. Release the trigger . En -
gage the gun safety latch. See Fig. 3, page 12.
WARNING
T o reduce the risk of static sparking and splashing
when priming, flushing or relieving pressure, al -
ways hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side
of and aimed into a grounded metal pail.
5. If you have not primed the sprayer with paint yet,
move the suction tube to the paint container .
Disengage the trigger safety latch. T rigger the gun
into the solvent pail just until paint appears. Re -
lease the trigger and engage the trigger safety
latch. Repeat for the second gun, as needed.
6. Install the spray tip (C) in the gun. See the sepa -
rate tip instruction manual, 307-848, supplied.

pump pressure
1. Disengage the trigger safety latch. T rigger the gun
onto a test paper to check the spray pattern and
atomization. Turn the pressure adjusting knob (A)
until you get a good pattern. Then slowly lower the
throttle (H) setting as far as you can without
changing the spray pattern.
CAUTION
Always use the lowest needed fluid pressure and
the lowest needed throttle setting, to increase the
life of the sprayer . Higher settings cause excessive
clutch cycling, premature tip wear and premature
pump wear .
CAUTION
Keep the sprayer upright and level when operating
it and when transporting it. This prevents crank -
case oil from leaking into the combustion chamber ,
which makes startup very dif ficult.
