What happens here

Next, the presenter demonstrates the prime/spray valve, located on the opposite side of the sprayer. He explains that pushing the valve down engages the 'prime' mode, which purges air from the system. Pulling the valve up engages the 'spray' mode, which sends paint to the gun. He identifies the prime tube, which paint exits during priming, and the uptake tube (or suction tube) with its rock guard, which draws paint from the container. The rock guard prevents debris from entering the sprayer.

Goal: Learn how to use the prime/spray valve and identify the paint intake/prime tubes

thing. And we'll just switch this thing around right here. This opposite side of this sprayer, you're going to locate a valve. And that's a prime spray valve. And this valve right here switches up and down. And in the down position, that puts it into prime mode. And an airless sprayer to operate the machine itself won't have any air inside the machine, and it forces all just paint through the tube. If you get an air bubble or something in there, you're going to need to turn it to prime and that will purge the system of all the air out of it. When you flip it to the up position on this model, it sends it into the spray mode where it actually starts sending paint out the gun. You also have two tubes. You're going to have a prime tube, and that's when you put that thing in the prime mode. You flip it down. Paint's going to actually come out of this tube, and this is what's going to purge any air bubbles out of your machine. And so, you're going to flip it. Once you see all the air bubbles uh come out and it's just solid paint coming out, then you'll flip it back up to the uh spray mode and you're ready to spray. This is your uptake right here. This takes in the paint. The paint's going to go in this tube to supply your sprayer. It's got a rock guard on the bottom. Keeps any rocks or any debris from getting up inside the sprayer. Those are some of the key features of this sprayer right here, this Titan 440
