Figure 3. Paint tank connect to air compressor and spray gun.
Install a pressure regulator (not included),
between the tank regulator assembly
(Figure 3) and the spray gun.
Figure 3 depicts the paint tank connected
to a compressed air system with a filter/
regulator unit and a spray gun.
The filter/regulator unit will protect your
tool from damaging water build-up, and
allow you to adjust and maintain regulated
air pressure. If you plan on installing a
filter/regulator unit in your compressed
air system, always follow the connection
instructions that come with the unit.
Safety Valve
Pressure Gauge
-7-Model H8226 5 Gallon Automatic Mixing Paint Tank
The pressure regulator on the paint tank
controls the amount of pressure applied to
the paint in the paint tank. It also controls
the pressure of paint delivered to the spray
gun.
The following are operating guidelines for
internal and external spray guns:
Internal Mix Guns: Use higher tank
pressures up to the full amount of air
pressure being delivered to the spray gun.
However, do not exceed 45 PSI at the
spray gun or in the paint tank.
External Mix Guns: Use lower tank
pressures—approximately 12 PSI for most
external mix guns. Start with the tank at
"zero" pressure and increase pressure
gradually until the correct spray pattern is
achieved.
Tank Regulator
Do not exceed the 50 PSI maximum
operating pressure on your paint tank.
Exceeding the maximum pressure
may cause the tank to explode,
causing serious personal injury.
This pressure tank is not designed for
use with highly abrasive, corrosive,
or rust inducing materials. If such
materials are used, frequently and
thoroughly clean all components to
reduce the need to replace parts.
EXPLOSION HAZARD! DO NOT
smoke or have any source of flame
or spark near spraying. Vapors will
explode if ignited.
RESPIRATORY HAZARD! Always use
a NIOSH approved respirator when
using spray equipment. Failure to
protect your lungs can lead to respi-
ratory illness and nervous system
damage. Spraying some paints and
varnishes may require a supplied air
respirator system.
TOXIC FUMES! Always use an
approved spray booth or well ven-
tilated area when spraying. NEVER
spray in a confined space where
toxic fumes and flammable vapors
can accumulate to deadly levels.

OPERATIONS
Read the manual before operation.
Become familiar with this tool, its
safety instructions, and its operation
before beginning any work. Serious
personal injury may result if safety
or operational information is not
understood or followed.
Like all tools there is potential danger
when operating this tool. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of
familiarity or failure to pay attention.
If normal safety precautions are
overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
To use your paint tank:
1. Thoroughly mix and strain your paint
to remove undissolved particles that
could block the flow of material to the
gun.
2. Pour paint into the tank.
3. Place the lid assembly on the tank and
evenly hand tighten the lid clamp but-
terfly nuts.
4. Adjust the regulator at your air com-
pressor to 50 PSI.
5. Fully turn the paint tank regulator knob
counterclockwise to shut OFF the tank
regulator.
6. Connect the paint tank to the air com-
pressor.
7. Adjust the paint tank to 20 PSI on the
tank gauge. Normal operating tank
pressure is 20–30 PSI. Using trial and
error, adjust the paint tank as neces-
sary between this range for optimum
results.
8. Adjust the regulator at the spray gun.
9. Start by testing the spray gun at a low
setting, then increase the air pressure
as needed for satisfactory results.

CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
3. Turn the tank regulator knob coun-
terclockwise until you no longer feel
spring tension.
4. Loosen the butterfly nuts on the tank lid
(Figure 4), tip the clamps back, and tilt
the tank lid to one side.
5. Loosen the spray gun air cap retaining
ring about three turns, then turn ON the
air supply.
6. Cover the cap with a cloth and pull
the trigger to force the material back
through the hose and into the tank.
7. Empty and clean the tank of all paint,
and fill it with solvent.
8. Replace the lid, tighten the clamps,
and spray the gun until it sprays clean
solvent.
Note: Check with local laws regarding
this practice. If you are spraying on a
regular basis, spraying solvents into
the air may be illegal. A cabinet style
spray gun cleaner may be required.
9. Use solvent to thoroughly rise all parts
that came in contact with the material,
then dry with compressed air or let air
dry.
10. Make sure all the fittings on the tank
and regulator, valve, and material hose
are free of hardened material that
could prevent free movement of air.
Proper cleaning is the best way to ensure
trouble free performance from your paint
tank. If your tank is not thoroughly cleaned,
damage and poor operation will result.
Problems caused by improper cleaning will
not be covered by the warranty. Clean the
tank immediately after each use.
To clean your paint tank:
1. DISCONNECT AIR SUPPLY FROM
TANK!
EXPLOSION HAZARD! Removing the
lid while the tank is pressurized could
result in lid being thrown violently
from tank, causing serious personal
injury. Always shut off air pressure
at source and bleed off all pressure
in tank before removing lid.
2. Bleed out all tank pressure by loosen-
ing the pressure release valve (Figure
4) until air stops hissing out.
