Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure whenever you see this symbol.
Grounding
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid or splashed fluid follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure whenever sprayer is stopped and before sprayer is cleaned or checked, and before equipment is serviced.
1. Turn ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. Wait 7 seconds for power to dissipate.
ti27923a
2. Unplug sprayer.
3. Turn fluid regulator all the way down.
4. Aim gun into hopper or waste bucket and trigger the gun until all air and material pressure is relieved.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking and electric shock. An electric or static spark can cause fumes to ignite or explode. An improper ground can cause electric shock.
A good ground provides an escape wire for the electric current.
This sprayer includes a ground wire with an appropriate ground 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 modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Power Switch
A selector switch on the sprayer allows you to operate the sprayer on either a 10A/240V
15A120V or 16A/240V or 20A120V circuit.
120V Sprayers
Select 15A or 20A depending on your circuit rating.
240V Sprayers
Select 10A or 16A depending on your circuit rating.
Extension Cords
Use an extension cord with an undamaged ground contact. If an extension cord is necessary, use a 3-wire, 12 AWG (2.5 mm 2 ) minimum.
NOTE: Lighter gauge or longer extension cords may reduce sprayer performance.
Generator Requirements
7500 W (7.5 kW) minimum.
3A3265E
Hose Size and Length
The system comes with a 25 ft (7.6m) long hose set consisting of a material hose 1 in. or
1.25 in. I.D. and a 3/8 in. I.D. air hose.
SoftStart/Smart Start
™
System
“Soft Start” vs. “Smart Start”
• “Smart” refers to the function where the motor starts and stops when the trigger is pulled and released. This keeps the sprayer at full operating pressure and allows the sprayer to spray immediately when the gun is triggered.
• “Soft” refers to the function where the sprayer slowly starts the pump. This prevents a large “splotch” of material from being discharged from the gun when trigger is pulled after the sprayer has sat idle for a period of time.
Preparation
Soft Start
The Soft Start System is controlled by motor power and an air cylinder. When pressurized, the air cylinder pushes the rollers into the peristaltic pump pushing material through the pump. When the motor shuts off, a solenoid valve relieves the pressure in the air cylinder causing the rollers to disengage from the peristaltic pump. When the motor starts again there is a time delay while the air cylinders charge and move the rollers into the pump this is the “Soft Start”.
Smart Start
The Smart Start System is controlled by compressed air in the tanks and lines. When gun is triggered, air flows through the lines and opens a flow switch. There is also another pressure switch that senses when the compressed air system is at operating pressure. This second pressure switch allows the sprayer to start immediately when the sprayer is turned ON charging the compressed air system to full pressure. This method keeps the compressed air system at operating pressure if there is a small air leak in the system.

3. Install spray nozzle. See
Selection Charts , page 15. Pulling
trigger when installing nozzle makes assembly easier.
NOTICE
• Do not store sprayer under pressure.
• Do not allow material to dry inside pump, hoses, gun or spray system. This may cause pump to fail.
When unpacking sprayer for the first time or after long term storage perform setup procedure.
1. Connect one end of air hose to sprayer air outlet quick connect and to gun air inlet quick connect.
When auxiliary air is used connect one end of air hose to lower sprayer air outlet quick connect and to gun air inlet quick connect. Connect auxiliary air source to male coupler on sprayer.
ti27960a
4. Plug power cord into a properly grounded outlet.
5. Make sure burp guard is installed.
Before adding material to the hopper, install the burp guard. When only a small amount of material remains in the hopper, the burp guard prevents material from shooting out when the unit is turned off.
This material could splash in the operator’s eyes or on skin, or into the air.

Remove Hopper
Material hopper can be removed for easy cleaning.
1. Loosen outlet fitting. Fittings are hand- tightened and should not require tools to loosen.
NOTE: Correct material mixture is essential.
The pump will not operate if the mixture is too thick. Use water-based materials only.
• Mix the material in a separate container before pouring it into hopper.
• Use Material Thickness Gauge to determine if mixture is thin enough to spray.
• The Material Thickness Gauge will only determine if the material is thin enough to pass through the pump. For some applications or for higher speed spraying, your mixture may need to be thinner.
• If thicker materials are desired, test pumping performance first. Then spray a test pattern.
• For best results, do not use partial bags of material.
1. Mix the material and water in a separate container.

Operation
Adjusting the System
Sufficient fluid output (volume and pressure) and good atomization is a balance of atomizing air, material thickness/material flow and nozzle selection. Achieving the correct balance for your application requires experimentation to achieve desired results.
Keep in mind these important points when adjusting gun:
• To select correct nozzle for your applications, consider size of aggregate in material and coarseness of spray pattern. Remember the larger the nozzle, the larger the pattern. See
• Start sprayer with gun air control valve completely open. If needed, slowly close gun air control valve until you get a good spray pattern. Use minimum amount of air at spray gun to achieve proper spray pattern and to minimize bounce back.
+ Test spray pattern on cardboard. Hold gun 18 to 30 in. (45.7 to 76.2 cm) from surface. Use this spraying distance for most applications.
+ When spraying with a nozzle only overlap each stroke 50% in a circular motion.
+ When spraying with a nozzle and disc overlap each stroke 50% in a linear motion.
• Material flow is controlled with the fluid flow regulator knob and displayed on the gauge. Gun air flow is regulated using air control valve located on the gun han dle.
+ Opening air control valve increases air flow through gun, which decreases texture material flow through pump.
+ Closing air control valve decreases air flow through gun, which increases texture material flow through pump.
For Less Material Flow
Try one or a combination of these methods:
• Open air control valve.
• Turn gun flow adjustment nut to decrease flow, counter-clockwise.
• Use smaller nozzle.
For More Material Flow
Try any one or a combination of these methods:
• Close air control valve.
• Turn gun flow adjustment nut clockwise to increase flow.
• Use thinner material mixture.
• Use a larger nozzle.
Preventing Material Surge at Gun
Trigger
Pressure will build up in the system when you stop triggering the gun. To prevent material surge at initial gun triggering:
• Point gun away from surface you are spraying when you first pull trigger.
• When you first start to spray, hold the gun away from the surface and gradually work your way closer to it.
• Keep gun moving.
• After you begin spraying, trigger the gun as little as possible.
For Continuous Spraying
Use trigger lock to hold trigger open and reduce fatigue.
Check Material Consistency
Periodically
Check and thin material as needed to maintain proper consistency. The material may thicken as it sits and slow down production. Agitate periodically.
16 3A3265E
Smart Start/Soft Start Operation
Smart Start
Sprayer will start under the following conditions:
• A new sprayer is plugged in and ON/OFF switch is turned ON.
• Gun is triggered and air control valve is open far enough.
• There is a small leak in the system and the pressure drops below the pressure switch setting. This may appear to be random operation.
• When a bleeder gun is used.
• When the pressure is relieved by triggering the gun while the sprayer is
OFF and then turned back ON.
• Prime valve is opened.
• There is a hose failure (leak) in the twin line hose.
Soft Start
• The easiest way to tell if the Soft Start
System is functional is to spray material.
• The system is operating properly when a small amount of material initially comes out of the gun when triggered and the volume of material slowly increases to full spray.
NOTE: Motor runs when gun is triggered.
Sprayer is designed to stop pumping when gun trigger is released.
