See Fig. 11
1. To minimize material pack-up in the hose when
using heavy sand material
a. Disconnect gun from material hose.
b. Open fluid supply valve (H).
c. Thin 2 quarts (1.4 liters) of material to 1/2
thickness. Pour the solution into the tank.
2. After the 1/2-thickness material begins to enter the
hose, fill the pressure pot (F) with the prepared
texture material. Install the float assembly on top
of the material to prevent air from disrupting
material flow.
3. Install the gun and a nozzle. See Nozzle
Selection, page 12.
NOTE: A small amount of air flow through the gun
helps to prevent material from backing up the needle
valve.
4. Open the gun air valve (R) (see Fig. 10) to be sure
air pressure is relieved. Leave the gun partially
open. The system primes easier if a little air is
supplied to the gun.
5. Be sure there are no kinks in the hose, which
restricts fluid flow.
NOTES:
D If spraying a simulated acoustic or coarse grain
material, disconnect the hose at the gun, prime the
hose, and direct the material into a pail for 10
seconds. Turn the ON/OFF switch OFF, and vent
the pressure pot. Reconnect the hose to the gun.
D A small amount of air flow through the gun helps to
prevent material from backing up the needle valve.
6. Turn the ON/OFF switch (A) ON. Trigger the gun
into a pail. Continue until there is a solid stream of
texture material.
7. See Spray Techniques on pages 12 and 13 for
proper spray pattern with pump and gun
adjustments.
