Understand Airless Sprayer Components

this is Chris yaho here on P Life TV today I'm going to be talking about how to set up an airless sprayer so this is going to be you know geared towards someone that's never operated an airless sprayer so I'm just going to you know walk you through the components on an airless sprayer how to get this thing rolling and spray in now all airless sprayers they're almost all identical there's um the only difference is is maybe like an onoff switches on one side versus The Other Side Prime valve um you know could be in a different but they're all pretty much similar so here's a typical you know small airless sprayer right here now I'll walk you through we got every air sprayer typically going to have an onoff switch it has an onoff switch right here turns it on you're typically going to have a pressure gauge right here and this is going to um set the pressure on your palm so you can turn it all the way up you go to full pressure anything in between and then it's going to have a clean setting typically where you would set it to you know the um the Clean Cycle another component on an aess sprayer is typically uh the prime valve and spray valve this one the way it operates you Flip It Forward and it sprays it's going to spray paint you flip it to the other side and it's going to Prime now an airless sprayer is a sprayer that sprays only paint out of it it isn't mixed with air the pump itself completely paint um sends through the hose 100% paint and in order for that process to happen it has to Prime and Purge all of the air out of the machine out of the pump itself and that's what the prime setting is for is you set it to Prime to purge all the air out when the air is all out then the thing can actually spray this one identifies it shows a pattern on here a little gun that it's in the spray mode over here it has kind of a little circular pattern that means it's circulating paint that it's in the prime
