On/Off Switch
Thermal Overload Switch
When you turn the valve handle and the gap between the valve handle and the cam body becomes wider - this means the valve is in the open position. It is in the closed position when the gap becomes very small.
2. Prepare the Material according to the material
manufacturer's recommendations.
Prime/Pressure Relief Valve- used both to relieve pressure from gun/ hose/ tip, and to prime the pump when in the open position (a wider gap shows between the valve handle and cam body.)
Learn and follow Pressure Relief Procedure on page 6 of this manual. When in closed position (very slight gap) the system is pressurized and ready to spray.
