end of the fluid section and turn the pump on.
2. Remove the screen and clean.
3. Trigger the gun and run the unit for about 10
seconds until air is purged.
4. Replace the packings.
5. Prime the pump with a solvent appropriate to
the material being used. Carefully remove the
pump from the solvent container and immerse
the suction tube in heavy material to be
sprayed. With the nozzle tip removed, trigger
the gun until the heavy material appears at the
gun. Replace the nozzle tip.
6. Remove the suction tube and clean.
7. Check the connection and seal.
1. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to
increase the pressure.
2. Remove and clean the intake screen.
3. Replace or clean.
4. Trigger the gun and run the unit for about 10
seconds until the air is purged.
5. Replace the packings.
6. Replace the spray tip following the instructions
that came with your gun.

pump up to pressure and shut off. If the pump
momentarily starts, internal leakage is
indicated and fluid section repacking or valve
replacement is necessary.
8. Check for external leaks including hydraulic
fittings attached to the pressure control
housing.
9. Consult the manufacturer's recommendations
on the material container.
10. Replace the spray tip following the instructions
that came with your gun.
1. Relieve the pressure or replace the packings.
2. Replace the piston rod.
1. Change to a smaller tip.
2. Adjust the pressure control knob.
3. Clean all screens and filters.
4. Add solvent according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
1. Increase the pressure.
2. Reconnect the input voltage for 120V AC.
1. Take to a SprayTECH authorized service
center.
2. Take to a SprayTECH authorized service
