Safety Guidelines:
This manual contains informaon that is important for you to know and understand.
This informaon is for your protection and safety. Improper use, operation or maintenance of this
product could result in injury or property damage.
Please Read and understand all warnings and operang instrucons before use. Save these instrucons.
Warning!Over pressurizaon can result in explosion. Max: 80 PSI
1. Exceeding the Maximum pressure in the tank can cause the tank to over pressurize and explode
resulng in serious injury or property damage. Always make sure that equipment connected
to tank or hose outlet has a higher pressure rang than the regulated air pressure in the
tank.
Warning! Risk of tank explosion.
1. Modificaons to the tank’s design or construcon could weaken it. Assemble tank
components in accordance with the service instrucons. Do not drill into tank, or weld
aachments, or alter its design in any manner.
2. Substuon of unauthorized non-standard components could weaken tank or cause
component failure. Use only those components furnished with the tank. Assembled in
accordance with instrucons in the service literature.
3. Damage to the tank or its components could weaken the tank. Never aempt to repair a
damaged tank . Replace it with a new one.
4. Improper cleaning or maintenance could block air passages to the safety valve, gauge or
outlet, allowing pressure to rise to dangerous levels , and prevenng the lowering of tank
pressure.

Following each use, clean and dry tank and lid in accordance with maintenancenstrucons.
Ensure ports to safety valve, gauge and outlet are free of hardened paint or
other materials which could prevent free movement of air.
5. Tampering with the safety valve could allow tank pressure to rise to dangerous levels. Never
aempt to adjust safety valve to change its pressure seng, or defeat its funcon in any way.
Operate the valve before each use to assure that it funcons properly.
6. Removal of the lid while the tank is under pressure could result in the lid being propelled
violently from the tank. Before releasing clamp force to remove the lid, shut offthe supply of
tank inlet air and turn the regulator knob counter-clockwise to relieve air pressure. Check by
pulling the safety valve ring.
7. Use of reacve chemicals could aack the lid gasket and safety valve seal, allowing tank
pressure to rise to dangerous levels.
If this reacon occurs within an enclosed structure such as this tank, it may cause explosion. Do not use
reacve chemicals in your tank such as acids, causc soluons, or halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents.
8. Over ghtening clamps, causing them to weaken and fail could result in the lid being
propelled violently from the tank. If the lid gasket leaks, relieve the tank pressure and clean
or replace the gasket.
Assembly
1. Attach the swivel wheels (4) to the base legs on the tank.
2. Attach the air hose to the inlet fitting located on the tank regulator (right or left side optional).
3.Connect material hose to the fluid outlet adapter located on the tank lid.
Using an air pressure regulator on paint tank
The pressure regulator on the paint tank regulates the amount of pressure applied to the
paint in the paint tank. This controls the pressure of the paint being delivered to the spray gun .
Important: Before turning on air pressure, completely loosen the regulator T-handle adjusng
screw to shut offthe air pressure. Turn on the air, then, adjust the regulator to the required
pressure.

Operation:
1. Before filling the tank with material, thoroughly mix and strain the paint to remove skins or
undissolved parcles with might otherwise block the flow of material through the hose and
gun. A (5)gallon can of paint can be set inside the tank instead of pouring the paint into the
tank.
2.Place lid assembly on tank and hand ghten tank lid clamp screws.
3. Shut offthe paint tank regulator by turning T-handle counter-clockwise. Adjust the
compressor regulator to obtain the desired air pressure on the spray gun .
4. Now adjust the regulator on the paint tank to obtain the desired air pressure for the material.
The higher above the paint tank you are spraying, the more pressure you will need on the
material. Normal operang pressure on the paint tank is 60 PSI. Should you wish to
reduce pressure, simply rotate the T-handle adjusng screw counter clockwise unl the
desired pressure seng is obtained. There is no need to trigger the gun in order to bleed off
excess paint pressure.
Warning: Do not use over 80 PSI in your tank.
Cleaning:
Warning:Always shut offair pressure at source and bleed offall pressure in the paint
tank by gently pulling safety valve before loosening thumb screw and clamps to remove
lid.
It is very important that the tank, material hose and spray gun be cleaned as soon as the
spray job is finished. Turn offthe main air supply to the tank. Remove all pressure from the
tank by pulling on the safety valve unl the pressure bleeds down. Turn the T-handle
adjusng screw on the regulator counter-clockwise unl no spring tension is felt.
Loosen thumb screws, p clamps back and p tank lid down to one side. Loosen spray gun
air cap retaining ring about three turns then turn on the air supply. Cup cloth over air cap on
the gun and pull trigger. This will force the material back through the hose. into the tank.
Empty and clean tank and parts which come in contact with the material. Use a suitable
solvent. Pour solvent into the tank. Replace lid and ghten the thumb screws and clamps and
spray unl clean solvent appears.
