Installation
Grounding and Electric
Requirements
The sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the
risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in
the event of a short circuit.
The sprayer power cord includes a grounding wire with
an appropriate grounding contact.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use the sprayer if the electrical cord has a dam-
aged ground prong. Do not modify plug. If it will not fit in
outlet, have a grounded outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Power Requirements
• 100-120V units require 100-120VAC, 50/60 Hz,
15A, 1 phase
• 230V units require 230VAC, 50/60 Hz, 7.5A, 1
phase
• Never use an outlet that is not grounded or an
adapter.
Only use an extension cord with an undamaged
ground contact. If an extension cord is necessary, use a
3-wire, 12 AWG (2.5 mm2) minimum.
Spray gun:ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container:follow local code.
Solvent and oil-based fluids: follow local code. Use
only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded sur-
face such as concrete.
Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such
as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding conti-
nuity.
Grounding the metal pail: connect a ground wire to the
pail by clamping one end to pail and other end to ground
such as a water pipe.
Maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.
TIC
Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may
reduce sprayer performance.

Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce risk of injury from injection, follow this proce-
dure whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure,
stop spraying, service equipment or install or clean
spray tip. Read warnings, page 3.
1. Turn power switch OFF and unplug power cord.
2. Turn pressure to lowest setting. Hold gun to side of
grounded metal flushing bucket. Trigger gun to
relieve pressure, turn prime valve down.
\
3. Engage gun trigger lock if unit is being shut down or
left unattended.
If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or that
pressure has not been fully relieved after following the
steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip guard retaining
nut or hose end coupling to relieve pressure gradually,
then loosen completely. Clear hose or tip obstruction.

General Repair Information
8309674M
General Repair Information
Flammable materials spilled on hot, bare motor could
cause fire or explosion. To reduce risk of burns, fire or
explosion, do not operate sprayer with cover removed.
• Keep all screws, nuts, washers, gaskets, and electri-
cal fittings removed during repair procedures. These
parts usually are not provided with replacement kits.
• Test repairs after problems are corrected.
• If sprayer does not operate properly, review repair
procedure to verify you did it correctly. See Trouble-
shooting, page 9.
• Install motor shroud before operation of sprayer and
replace if damaged. Motor shroud directs cooling air
around motor to prevent overheating. It can reduce
risk of burns, fire or explosion, or cut fingers.
To reduce risk of serious injury, including electric shock:
• Do not touch moving or electric parts with fingers or
tools while testing repair.
• Unplug sprayer when power is not required for test-
ing.
• Install all covers, gaskets, screws and washers
before you operate sprayer.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of pressure control malfunction:
• Use needle nose pliers to disconnect wire. Never
pull on wire, pull on connector.
• Mate wire connectors properly. Center flat blade
of insulated male connector in female connector.
• Route wires carefully to avoid interference with
other connections or pressure control. Do not
pinch wires between cover and control box.
CAUTION
• Do not run sprayer dry for more than 30 seconds.
Doing so could damage pump packings.
• Protect the internal drive parts of this sprayer from
water. Openings in the cover allow for air cooling of
the mechanical parts and electronics inside. If
water gets in these openings, the sprayer could
malfunction or be permanently damaged.
• Prevent pump corrosion and damage from freezing.
Never leave water or water-base paint in sprayer
when its not in use in cold weather. Freezing fluids
can seriously damage sprayer. Store sprayer with
Pump Armor to protect sprayer during storage.
