What happens here

Now that the sprayer has been primed with water, transfer the paint uptake hose from the clean water bucket into the bucket containing your paint. Keep the prime hose submerged in the clean water bucket. Turn the prime knob back down to the 'prime' position. Let the sprayer run until paint begins to emerge from the prime tube, displacing the remaining water. Once you observe paint flowing out, quickly flip the prime switch back up to the 'spray' position. This process loads the system with paint and ensures no residual water or air is left in the main lines.

Goal: Fill the sprayer with paint and remove any residual water or air from the paint lines.

Purge the air out. Now you're ready to transfer your paint uptake to the paint. So we're going to switch it over to the paint here. And then we're going to turn it the prime knob down. And you actually see paint coming out of the prime tube. Keep letting it run until you see paint come out. You'll see water initially. Now the paint start to come out. As soon as you see paint come out, you flip the prime switch back up into the up position. That's the spray position. And then your sprayer is now loaded with paint. Now you got your hose that's still loaded with water. And we're going to have to purge all the water out of the hose. So now we'll start running the water out of the hose until we see paint come out of this. And now we see paint coming out. Now we know we got paint loaded up into the line. And I'll run some paint into the gallon just to purge all the air out of line. Make sure there's no bubbles in the line.
