Assemble An Airless Paint Sprayer

Airless paint sprayers do not use an air compressor to atomize the paint for spraying out of a spray gun tip. This concept makes an airless easier to transport without using a compressor. Instead of forced air through a hose, the airless uses a pump to compress air to force paint from the gun. The paint breaks down into a fine mist for even and smooth coverage on painting projects. Airless paint sprayers suck the paint out of a bucket from a paint hose, pulls it into the pump, through the paint hose and out of the spray gun.


Instructions


1. Place the handle on the rear of the sprayer and line up the boltholes. There are two boltholes on each side. The concave part of the handle fits around the rear of the frame


2. Insert a bolt from the outside back of the handle in each hole and screw on a wing nut from the front of the frame. Turn the wing nuts clockwise to tighten.


3. Place the pail bracket with the lip pointing up against the front of the airless frame. Line up the two boltholes and insert a bolt in each hole. Hand tighten the bolts turning them clockwise and then tighten them fully with an Allen wrench.


4. Screw the paint hose onto the male threads of the sprayer paint hose port. Turn the hose clockwise to tighten by hand and then tighten fully with an adjustable wrench. The paint hose port is on the left side of the airless sprayer when you are facing the front of the tool.


5. Screw the spray gun clockwise onto the other end of the paint hose by hand. Place one adjustable wrench on the spray gun bottom and hold it in place. Place a second adjustable wrench on the paint hose and turn it clockwise to tighten.


6. Pull the pusher stem straight down and out from the inlet valve on the center front at the bottom of the sprayer.


7. Push the return tube onto the return tube fitting to cover the entire metal valve. Pinch the clip on the return tube to open it and slide it up over the top of the tube with the valve inside. Release the clip so it clamps the tube to the valve securely.


8. Place the suction tube on the inlet valve and turn the fitting clockwise to tighten. Place an adjustable wrench on the fitting and tighten fully.
