How To Use a Paint Sprayer.

What happens here

Before attaching the spray gun, ensure all air is purged from the sprayer lines. With the prime valve in the 'prime' position (downwards), turn on the sprayer. Position the prime hose to discharge back into the original paint can (or a clean bucket) instead of the discard bucket to avoid wasting paint. Let the sprayer run until you see a consistent flow of paint coming through the prime hose, indicating that all the water or protector fluid has been flushed out and replaced by paint. This process typically takes about 5-10 seconds of constant running to fully clear the line of air and any remaining non-paint fluids. Holding the hose securely prevents accidental splashing.

Goal: Run the sprayer in prime mode, returning fluid to the paint can, until all air is purged and only paint is flowing.

so reagan's going to hold on to the prime hose he's going to turn it on we've got it switched down to prime already and the pressure is set up um on a titan 440 it's right between the white and green that's going to be about 18 1900 psi go for it hold on one second before he starts this and it starts getting a little noisy he's going to turn that on and he's going to let it run through while the water or the protector comes out until he starts to see paint and then he's going to hold this bucket right here and then as soon as he sees paint coming through he's going to switch that through over to the paint can again and let that paint run back into the paint can and you want to give it about 5-10 seconds of constantly running so that it's getting the air out before we click that back up to spray and what's the importance of holding on to the prime tube and we always want to hold on to that prime tube because uh occasionally in the middle of repriming or things like that it can build up some pressure especially on a bigger pump and then when you turn that down to prime it'll release all of that pressure and kick up and that's how we can always tell we have a new guy because they've got a nice stripe of dirty water or paint coming up their clothing and i think i've done that before and i think you have oh i think everyone does it at least once all right here we go
