Hints and Tips:
• Ensure the Straps (3) are tight on the Spray Pack and positioned high on the back for optimum function and comfort.
• It is important that the paint or spray material is at room temperature. Too cold and it will become difficult to spray and cause blockages.
• Low temperatures can make paint thicker and we therefore recommend spraying in air temperatures at a minimum of 15°C.
CAUTION!
• Do not disconnect the clear paint tubes from the spray gun or Spray Pack if the pressure has not been released from the Spray Pack or if the
Spray Pack is full of paint.
• Beware that paint can accidently exit the spray gun when the turbine unit is switched off due to the pressure held in the Spray Pack.
• Please note that the Spray Pack can weigh up to 7kg when full. Be careful when handling this unit.
Spraying Set Up - see page 3, Fig.1 for reference.
1. Take Spray Pack out of box. Check that the O-Ring (7) is in place and attach the Spray Gun and 1.4m (Short) Clear Tube (4) using the
Quick Connect Clip (16).
2. Before filling with paint, check Spray Pack for fit and comfort. Adjust Straps (3) as necessary to ensure that the Spray Pack
sits high on the back.
3. Before adding paint/ material to the Spray Pack, strain old or lumpy paint to avoid blockages. In a suitable
container dilute the paint or spray material to the right viscosity, using the dilution guide in this manual and
the Viscosity Cup (10) supplied with your Spray Station unit.
4. Stir paint or material thoroughly for approximately 1 minute. This is very important for good operation of
the sprayer. We recommend use of a paint stirrer with a drill and ensure paint is not less than 15˚C.
5. Pour your stirred spray material into the Spray Pack, no higher than the neck of the Spray Pack (see
Fig.6).
6. Check the Lid Seal (8) is in place in the Lid (1). Screw lid as tightly as possible to prevent any leaks.
7. Wet the end of the tube with warm water to attach the 4m (Long) Clear Tube (6) to the top of the Spray Pack.
8. Take the black air hose and push firmly into the back of the spray gun and twist (Fig.1).
9. Put the Spray Pack on your back and tighten straps
(WA NING! Spray Pack weighs approximately 7kg when full).
10. Ensure the Spray Pack is secure on your back and the Straps (3) are tightened. The Spray Pack should sit on your upper back area for
>>>optimum working spray height.
11. Turn on the Spray Station unit with the paint flow dial at the rear of the Spray Gun set fully upwards and the trigger pulled. old the spray gun
lower than the Spray Pack until the liquid reaches the spray gun.
12. It is recommended that an appropriate mask, gloves, goggles and overalls are worn whilst using spray equipment.

Cleaning Instructions - see page 3, Fig.1 for reference.
The Spray Pack must be thoroughly cleaned immediately after use. If the paint dries inside the Spray Pack then cleaning will become much more
difficult and may render the Spray Pack inoperable. This is not covered by the guarantee on page 2.
1. Turn off unit and remove plug from mains socket-outlet.
2. Disconnect the black air hose from the gun. Disconnect the 4m (Long) Clear Tube (6) from the top of the Spray Pack by pulling (may
>>> require softening with hot water to release) leaving the paint tube attached.
3. Take Spray Pack to the the sink/protected wash area for cleaning. It is recommended that you clean using warm soapy water, do not use boiling
water.
4. Remove the Lid (1) by unscrewing carefully and slowly to release the air pressure inside the Spray Pack.
5. Pour any leftover paint into a container so that it can be used in the future. Wipe the Spray Pack to remove as much spray material/paint as
possible.
6. Pour a quantity of warm soapy water into the Spray Pack container.
7. Screw the Lid (1) back on. Shake the Spray Pack gently; repeat process until Spray Pack is clean.
8. Remove the Duck Bill Valve (5) from inside the Spray Pack and wash to remove any paint. Dry and insert duck bill valve back into the
Spray Pack.
9. Add a final quantity of warm water into the Spray Pack, screw Lid (1) back on and reattach air hose. Turn on the unit and with the spray gun
paint flow dial set fully upwards, pull the trigger and spray through the gun to clean the 1.4m (Short) Clear Tube (4). This should take less than
>>>a minute to run clear. The spray should be clear and free of paint. If not repeat this process until the spray is clear.
10. Release the 1.4m (Short) Clear Tube (4) from the Spray Pack using the Quick Connect Clip (16) by pushing the button inwards and
pulling the tube away.

P OBLEM SOLUTION
Spray material does not reach spray gun when
trigger is activated.
1. Check the dilution of your paint and if too thick dilute more.
2. Check air hose and tubes are connected properly. The air supply from the Spray Station is not reaching Spray
>>.Pack container.
3. Check that the Lid (1) is sealed.
4. Check if spray gun fluid tip is blocked and fluid needle is free to move. Check spray gun manual on how to
clean.
5. Level of spray material in container is too low and needs to be filled.
Painting up high = less paint. Ensure the Straps (3) are tight and Spray Pack is positioned high on the back.
Paint leaks down air tube. Check the Duck Bill Valve (5) is securely fitted inside the Spray Pack.
Paint leaks around paint tube/connection point. Check O-Ring (7) is present and fitted properly on the paint spigot.
Check if O-Ring is worn; if so, replace.
