The essential personal protective equipment (PPE) required before startup;
Safety Goggles – Protects eyes from paint mist, chemical splashes, and airborne particles.

Respirator Mask – Shields the respiratory system from inhaling hazardous fumes and fine paint particles. A high-quality mask with proper filtration is essential for safe breathing.
Protective Gloves – Prevents direct skin contact with paint, solvents, and chemicals. Durable,
chemical-resistant gloves provide enhanced grip and reduce exposure to harmful substances.
Coveralls and Footwear – Full-body coveralls protect clothing and skin from overspray an spills, while slip-resistant, chemical-resistant footwear ensures stability and prevents accidental exposure to toxic materials.

At AEMCO, customer education is key. Before using your sprayer for the first time or at any point, always remember to perform the pressure relief procedure to ensure it’s de-pressurized. This crucial step in setting up your sprayer is vital for maintaining its peak performance and efficiency. Trust us to guide you through the process for optimal results.

2. Turn the on/off switch to OFF.
3. Turn the pressure control to the lowest setting.
4. Reverse the tip and disengage the gun trigger lock.
5. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a grounded metal pail and trigger the gun to relieve
pressure.
6. Engage the trigger lock.
7. Turn the prime valve to the PRIME, or DRAIN, position.
It’s time to prime the pump after the pressure relieving process is finished.
1. Engage the trigger lock.
2. Remove the tip and guard from your gun.
3. Place the fluid intake hose into a paint pail and place the drain tube into a waste pail.
4. Be sure the prime valve is in the PRIME, or DRAIN, position.
5. Turn the pressure control to the lowest pressure setting.
6. Turn the on/off switch to ON.
7. Increase the pressure control until the motor starts. Till the paint runs smoothly out the drain tube, let it circulate through the sprayer.
8. Turn the on/off switch to OFF.

6. Then, release the trigger and allow the sprayer to build pressure.
7. Engage the trigger lock.
8. Screw the tip assembly onto the gun and tighten.
Testing your spray pattern on a test surface is advised. Cardboard scraps or other waste material should be sprayed with test designs. Use these procedures to test the spray pattern.
1. Turn the pressure control knob to a mid-way position.
2. While holding the gun 12 inches from the test surface, disengage the trigger lock and spray a test pattern.
3. If the pattern has heavy edges, often known as tails, gradually raise the pressure and continue to spray test patterns until a soft, blendable spray pattern replaces the harsh edges.
