The Strainer’s Air Tube will prevent paint from
overfilling the cup. Fill the cup as follows:
4a. Watching the Funnel (not the cup) slowly
pour paint into the Funnel. When the
paint stops draining down, the cup is full.
4b. With Funnel and Strainer
still attached to cup, pour
excess paint from the
Funnel back into paint can.
4c. Lift up the Strainer and
look to verify you can see
crossbars in the bottom of
Funnel. If not, the cup is
overfilled, pour excess
paint from the Funnel
back into paint can.
4d.
Remove the Funnel/Strainer
from the cup and hook on
edge of paint can.
STARTUP
1
Install the cup onto the
sprayer as follows:
1a. Verify Pump Filter is
installed and clean.
1b. Align VacuValve
™
(on Cup Lid) with Prime
Knob (on sprayer).
1c. Push cup assembly onto
sprayer, twist to lock.
Note: Tilt the sprayer
such that the
VacuValve is
the highest point so
that all air in the FlexLiner can be
fully evacuated.
Note: If the paint stops draining but
you can see the cup is not full, use a
stir stick to scrape the captured debris
on the top of the Strainer until the
paint resumes draining.
QUICK GUIDE
Note: Verify there is no damage to
the top sealing edge of the FlexLiner,
such as a crease or fold. If damaged it
will leak air and lose prime.
Note: To ensure an airtight seal, the gasket
inside the Cup Lid is lubricated by the factory.
If lubrication has washed away, apply Seal
Lube (included) to the gasket.
Note: This will purge all
air from the pump and cup.
Paint will not spray out, but will
recirculate through the pump and
back into the cup.
Funnel Strainer
Insert the Funnel into the Cup Lid, twist to
lock. Snap the Strainer into the Funnel to
strain your paint as you fill the cup.

Reverse the Spray Tip and spray into
a waste area to remove the clog.
Return the Spray Tip to spray position
to spray. See Owners Manual.
Your sprayer is shipped with Wide and Narrow Spray Tips.

1Turn Prime Knob down to PRIME position to
relieve presure. Unplug power cord.
2Turn Spray Tip 90˚ to seal orifice
from drying out.
Paint will dry quickly and cause clogs in the sprayer. Follow these
steps whenever you pause spraying for 5 minutes to 2 hours.
3Ensure sprayer is fully sealed.
Ensure VacuValve is closed and cup is
attached to sprayer with all air evacuated.
Make certain the sprayer is plugged into a grounded and
functional power source.
To avoid pump damage, NEVER run the sprayer
for more than 5 seconds without pumping fluid.
If the sprayer does not spray, try the steps below:
Verify Cup Lid is tight. An under tightened Cup Lid will allow
air to seep into the FlexLiner and cause a loss of prime.
• Add Seal Lube (included) to the Cup Lid gasket to
ensure an airtight seal.
Remove the Pump Filter from the pump inlet. Clean both
sides of the Pump Filter.
• While the Pump Filter is removed, inspect and
ensure no dried paint debris is collected inside
the pump inlet.
Make certain the Spray Tip is not clogged. See Owners
Manual for instructions on Unclogging Spray Tips.
Repeat STARTUP Procedure to ensure all air is evacuated
from the FlexLiner.
If the Sprayer sprays when upside down but not upright,
there is likely still an air leak into the cup. Try replacing
the FlexLiner and the VacuValve. (Extra of both included
with sprayer)
