2. Attach an air hose between the
opposite side of the T Fitting and
the spray gun air inlet.
NOTE: A 15 foot air hose and 15 foot
material hose between the paint tank
and spray gun is recommended. Up
to 25 feet of air hose may be used
between the paint tank and the
compressor. A longer length may create
a large pressure drop.

gun material inlet.
Operation
1. Before using the tank for the first
time, the seal and bracket position
should be established by pre-
pressurizing the tank.
a. Connect the material hose to the
spray gun.
b. Connect the air hose from
regulator to the spray gun or cap.
c. Before filling the tank with paint
material, evenly tighten the knobs
so that the lid is secure and sealed.
d. Close the paint tank regulator by
turning fully counterclockwise,
then open the air regulator on the
source to deliver air to the paint
tank regulator.
e. Increase paint tank pressure by
turning the knob clockwise until
30 psi reads on the tank regulator
gauge.

2. The tank may now be filled with
material. Before filling, thoroughly
mix and strain the paint to remove
skins or undissolved particles which
might otherwise impede the flow of
material through the hose and gun.
A one gallon can of paint can be set
inside the tank instead of pouring
the paint into the tank.
which contain trichloroethane,
chlorinated hydrocarbons,
nitrohydrocarbons, esters, amines, or
organic compounds. These materials
will damage the gasket between the
paint tank and lid. A damaged gasket
may cause injury and will reduce the
efficiency of the paint tank.

4. Turn pressure off at the air
source regulator by turning
counterclockwise. Pressure gauge
should read 0 psi.
5. Shut off paint tank regulator by
running counterclockwise.
SPRAY GUN OPERATION
1. Adjust air source regulator pressure
required for spraying (usually
between 50 psi - 70 psi).

a fitting leaks, depressurize the
tank by shutting off the air at the
air source regulator and gently
pulling the ring on the paint tank
safety valve until air no longer
hisses from it. Tighten the leaking
fitting, then open the air source
regulator to deliver 30 psi into the
paint tank and material hose.
