& SPARE PARTS LIST

• New battery may be partially charged, fully charge before use
• Ensure spray switch connected inside control box
• Ensure handle secure at chosen height
1. Ensure power turned off on both pump isolator switch (on control panel) and spray
switch (on handle bar). Also ensure that the gun spray lever is in the closed position.
2. Place 10L ‘ready-mix’ paint container directly on to the Atom – using only BOWCOM
Atomic or Quantum paint.
3. Replace the paint pail lid, with the holed / clipped lid attached to the Atom.
4. Ensure that the clip / lock hose above the spray gun is attached to the ‘waste’ bottle.
5. Fill cleaning bottle with tap water.
6. Ensure ‘speed-bleed’ direction tap (above spray gun) is in the side-ways position
(lock-off).
7. The machine is now ready to prime.
8. Set the spray limit discs to the required line width. Ensure that the spray gun is set
high enough for the paint spray to hit the spray discs.
9. Turn on the pump isolator switch (located on control panel) – observe the volt meter
reading (12 volts). If too low, place battery on charge.
10. To activate pump, use the spray switch located on the handle bar.
11. To prime the pump: (with the pump activated). Slowly turn the ‘speed-bleed’ knob
to the up-wards position, this will draw through the water & turn to paint in a couple
of seconds, depositing the surplus mix into the ‘waste’ bottle. When paint appears in
‘waste’ bottle, turn the ‘speed-bleed’ knob back to central position ‘lock-off’.
12. Switch off the pump spray switch on handle bars. Turn the ‘speed-bleed’ knob to
downwards position. The ATOM is now ready to paint a line.
13. Re-activate the handle-bar spray switch. Then use the handle-bar spray lever to open
& close the spray gun for instant start / stop technology.
14. NB: When not marking a line for prolonged period, de-activate the pump by turning
off the handle-bar spray switch.
15. Atom Cleaning: Following completion of line-marking, switch off pump. Un-clip the
paint suction tube coupling & place onto the ‘water’ bottle lid.

16. For full cleaning process: Repeat steps 6 – 12 above. (Paint surplus can be either
sprayed on to grass area or deposited into waste bottle (empty out intermittently).
17. Additional periodic cleaning: From time to time clean the ATOM using tap water
drawn from a 10L empty (clean) paint container. This ensures cleanliness of suction
tube & lter.
18. Nozzle cleaning: Following ATOM cleaning always remove & clean the ‘top-hat’
lter above the nozzle. Ensure clean & clear water is seen spraying from the nozzle.
For additional nozzle cleaning soak overnight using ‘Bowcom Multi-ush solution’,
preferably in an ‘ultra-sonic’ cleaning bath.
19. NB. If using a part-used pail of ‘Atom’ or ‘Quantum’ paint, shake well before use.
20. Battery Charger: Use Battery Charger provided. Place 3-pin plug into 240 volt mains
socket. Plug other end (12 volt) into trailing socket inside the ATOM Control Box
(connector ts only one way). A full charge will take up to 10 hours. Full battery
should operate pump for several days (dependent on use).
