What happens here

Take the intake tube, which is equipped with a filter screen at its end, and fully immerse it into your container of paint. Position the smaller prime return tube into a separate empty waste bucket or, for convenience, back into the same paint bucket if you prefer to conserve paint (though a waste bucket is generally recommended to prevent paint contamination during purging). With the intake tube in the paint and the prime return tube directed, turn the sprayer's On/Off switch to the ON position. Let the sprayer run in the prime setting. Continue running the sprayer until you observe a consistent flow of paint emerging from the prime return tube, free of any air bubbles. This process effectively purges all air from the internal pump and lines of the sprayer unit.

Goal: Remove all air from the main sprayer unit and internal lines.

switch is set, you want to turn your sprayer to the on position. And then there there's going to be two tubes. There's going to be an intake tube. This tube's got a screen on it that's actually going to take up the paint. And then there's going to be a prime tube. And this is what's going to get all get rid of all the air out of the line out of the airless sprayer. And you're going to start off by locating the prime valve. And this valve has got two positions. It's got a uh spray position and a prime position. And you want to put that into the prime position till your product starts coming out of the prime tube. And that's going to clear all the air out of the hose and out of the machine. And you'll run this till you see no more air bubbles coming out of the prime tube. Once it starts flowing consistently with paint or your product, you're going to switch it back to the spray position. And it usually should take about 2 to 3 seconds for it to actually stop pumping. Now it's actually completely purged of air and it's completely loaded with paint. the machine itself. Now, your hose itself
