2-1/4 GALLONS PAINT TANK WITH SPRAY GUN & HOSE
Description
Read Instructions Carefully before using
2-1/4” gallon pressure tank provides pressurized material up to a maximum of
80psi. This tank is equipped with an air regulator, gauge, safety valve, and
fluid outlet. It is constructed of only the finest materials for durability. The
2-1/4” gallon capacity enables you to handle most any job with professional
results. This versatile tank can also spray materials other than paint.
Caution
This pressure tank is not designed for highly abrasive, corrosive, or rest
inducing materials. If used with such materials, frequent and thorough
cleaning is advised to reduce the necessity for replacement of parts.
Warning
Air pressure loads that are higher than design loads, or alterations to the
pressure feed tank can result in tank rupture or explosion.
Asafety valve protects the tank for over pressurization. During each use, pull the ring on the safety valve to check if it
operates freely and relieves air pressure. If the valve is stuck, does not operate freely, or does not relieve air pressure, it
must be replaced. Do not discard or make any alterations or substitutions to this valve.
Do not make any changes to the air tank. Tampering in the form of drilling, welding etc… will weaken the tank.
The maximum operating pressure of the tank is 80psi.
Installation
Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the mixing and preparation of material. Strain material using a fine mesh screen in
order to prevent the entry of foreign matter and the clogging of passageways.
1. Always relieve all air pressure in the tank. Pull the ring on safety valve until pressure bleeds down
2. Loosen thumb screws, tip lid clamps back and remove lid assembly.
3. Pour material into the tank.
4. Replace the lid assembly and tighten clamps and thumb screws securely.
5. It is best for the air supply line to pass through a trans-former to filter dirt from air and remove entrained water and oil.
Connect the air supply hose to the air inlet fitting on tank regulator.
6. Attach the atomization air hose to the air outlet fitting which is directly opposite air inlet fitting.
7. Connect material hose to the fluid outlet fitting.
8. Refer to figure below for a typical assembly.

MAINTENANCE: CLEANING EQUIPMENT
1. Turn off the main air supply to the tank.
2. Relieve all pressure from the tank by pulling the ring on safety valve until the pressure bleeds down
3. TurnT-handle adjusting screw on tank regulator counterclockwise until no spring tension if felt.
4. Loosen thumb screws, tip clamps back and tip tank lid to on side.
5. Loosen spray gun air cap retaining ring about three turns.
