7. Turn on the sprayer by moving
the pump ON/OFF switch to the
ON position.
8. Slowly turn the pressure control
knob clockwise to increase the
pressure until fluid starts to
come out of the return hose.
9. Allow the solvent to circulate
through the sprayer and flush
the paint out of the return hose
into the metal waste container.
10. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to
its lowest setting.
11. Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position.
12. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to its SPRAY position.
13. Turn on the sprayer.
14. Turn the pressure control knob slowly clockwise to
increase pressure.
Ground the gun by holding it against the
edge of the metal container while
flushing. Failure to do so may lead to a
static electric discharge, which may cause
a fire.
15. Trigger the gun into the metal waste
container until the paint is flushed out of the hose and
solvent is coming out of the gun.
16. Continue to trigger the spray gun into the waste container
until the solvent coming out of the gun is clean.
17.
Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
18. Store the sprayer in a clean, dry area.
Do not store the sprayer under pressure.
Cleaning the Spray Tip
1. Flush the gun with solvent immediately after the work is
completed.
2. Oil the sliding pins to prevent them from seizing up.
Should the spray tip become clogged, reverse
the spray tip with the lever and pull the trigger.
Once the obstruction comes out of the spray tip,
release the trigger, reverse the spray tip back to
the spray pattern setting, and resume spraying.
Do not attempt to clean the tip with your finger.
Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed instrument to
clean the tip. The hard tungsten carbide is brittle and can
be chipped.
Maintenance
Before proceeding, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
outlined previously in this manual. Additionally, follow all
other warnings to reduce the risk of an injection injury,
injury from moving parts, or electric shock.
NOTE: All Honda engine work should be performed by
a Honda authorized service center.
NOTE: For long-term or cold weather storage, pump

Maintaining the Engine
When transporting a sprayer with a gas engine, make sure
the fuel is shut off.
Important Facts Concerning this Sprayer
This gas-powered sprayer contains a clutch that engages
when the sprayer is pumping. The sprayer’s pressure control
system engages and disengages the clutch to control
pressure. To prevent unnecessary wear to the clutch, it is
advisable to adjust the engine speed and pressure setting to
limit the amount of times the clutch engages and disengages.
To reduce clutch wear, refer to the following examples.
Example:
Operating one gun with a .019 tip — reduce the engine speed
by adjusting the throttle to a low or medium setting and
increase pressure only until the heavy ends of the spray
pattern have been eliminated.
Example:
Operating one gun with .023 tip — increase engine speed to a
high setting and increase pressure until the heavy ends of the
spray pattern have been eliminated.
Example:
Spraying light-bodied materials at low pressure — to reduce
surging at the gun and to decrease clutch wear, reduce the
engine speed to idle and reduce pressure until the desired
spray pattern is achieved.
NOTE: For detailed engine specifications and
maintenance, refer to the separate engine
manual supplied with this sprayer.
