Prime the Sprayer

What happens here

With the sprayer assembled or mostly assembled (hose connected to the gun and unit), engage the spray gun to prime the system. This usually involves pressing the trigger to release any air trapped in the lines. A brief burst of air or misty residue is seen, indicating the sprayer is ready for paint. Ensure the sprayer is placed on a stable, level surface for this step.

Goal: Remove air from the sprayer's system before adding paint.
