What happens here

With the uptake tube submerged in paint and the prime tube directed into the empty bucket, turn the sprayer unit on. Crucially, ensure the pressure control knob is set to a low position. Allow the sprayer to run in prime mode. Watch the prime tube for air bubbles; continue running until only solid paint flows through, indicating all air has been purged from the system. It is important to hold the prime tube securely in the empty bucket, as high pressure can cause paint to shoot out. Once purged, switch the valve to spray mode. If the unit cycles continuously without building pressure, it indicates an air bubble, and you should switch back to prime mode to purge it again.

Goal: Remove all air from the sprayer system before beginning to spray

got it in the spray position right here. So, the spray position on this machine is up. So, it's horizontal instead of vertical. So, in the up position. Now I'm going to turn my unit on. Flip that switch. I want my pressure down low. Don't have your pressure up high. So I have it in the low position. Then flip it on. So now it's taking in paint. It's starting to suck it up through here. And I can watch it and it'll start it'll start to lower in the gallon of paint as it's sucking it up. So I can start to see the paint lowering. And I'll start running my gun. You can see start running the water now. There's water in the line. In the comments below, right down here, leave your comments and your suggestions what you'd like to see my next video be about. And I'm going to choose it from you, my subscribers. Just going to keep running it till I see paint coming through here. Now I got my paint coming through and now it's ready to spray.

I'm just going to run a bunch of my paint into my paint pan just to make sure it's all paint coming through there. There we go. Now, I'm going to check my pressure. Going to turn my pressure up to the pressure I want. I'm going to screw my tip and guard right on here. I'm ready to spray. If this thing is taking up paint, but it's got an air bubble in it and it won't build that pressure, you'll just hear it cycle, cycle, cycle. It's not building up pressure. Then you'll just take your prime tube right here. Just stick my prime tube in a bucket. Hold on to it because as soon as you flip this thing to prime, a lot of pressure is going to through shoot through this tube and it's going to shoot up in the air and throw paint everywhere. So, I'm going to hold on to it, put it down to the prime mode, and you can see now paint's coming out of it. And I'll just purge it like this till I see no air bubbles.
