Warning
The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The
exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbol refers to procedure-spe-
cific risk. Refer back to these warnings. Additional, product-specific warnings may be found throughout the
body of this manual where applicable.
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent
fire and explosion:
Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot; shut off engine and let it cool. Fuel is flammable
and can ignite or explode if spilled on hot surface.
When flammable liquid is sprayed or used for flushing or cleaning, keep sprayer at least 20 feet (6 m)
away from explosive vapors.
Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static arc).
Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
Ground equipment and conductive objects in work area. See Grounding instructions.
Use only grounded hoses.
Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD (SPRAY GUN)
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD (APPLICATOR)
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers and other body parts.
Keep clear of moving parts.
Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.
Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual. Disconnect power or air supply.
Warning
4 313483A
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids
containing such solvents in pressurized aluminum equipment. Such use can cause serious chemical
reaction and equipment rupture, and result in death, serious injury, and property damage.
SUCTION HAZARD
Never place hands near the pump fluid inlet when pump is operating or pressurized. Powerful suction
could cause serious injury.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colorless and odorless. Breathing carbon mon-
oxide can cause death. Do not operate in an enclosed area.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
Read MSDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces and fluid that’s heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe
burns, do not touch hot fluid or equipment. Wait until equipment/fluid has cooled completely.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating
area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic
fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes but is not limited to:
Protective eyewear
Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
•Gloves
Hearing protection
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system
component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
Do not leave the work area while equipment is energized or under pressure. Turn off all equipment
and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual when equipment is not in use.
Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manu-
facturer’s replacement parts only.
Do not alter or modify equipment.
Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.

HTX 2030 with Base Coat Pump
(257369)
The HTX 2030 Sprayer comes equipped with a Base
Coat Pump 24B321. Only water-based materials are to
be used with this configuration, such as:
Smooth to heavily aggregated textures with silica
sand, perlite, vermiculite and polystyrene
Smooth, medium, coarse and extra coarse textures
Most materials with aggregates up to 2.5 mm (.100
in.) in longest dimension
When Base Coat Pump is Installed
Pump will only run when ON/OFF switch is in ON posi-
tion and:
Pump control is rotated clockwise away from OFF
position, and either of the following switches are
also switched ON:
Prime Switch on pressure control box and/or
Applicator Switch near end of material hose
The pressure control will limit the sprayer to 1,000 psi
(69 bar), stopping the pump whenever pressure limit is
reached.
The pump control on the pressure control adjusts the
flow rate depending on engine speed and the setting of
the pump control.
1. Flow 3 (fully clockwise) - allows the pump to run
continuously:
2. Flow 2 (near middle of the rotation) reduces flow
slightly by briefly interrupting pump:
3. Flow 1 (near counterclockwise end of pump control)
reduces flow more by interrupting pump longer:
4. OFF (fully counterclockwise) - stops pump com-
pletely:
NOTE: Adjusting engine speed is an effective way to
control flow rate of sprayer. Different spray tip or nozzle
sizes can also be tried.

Top Coat Pump (Kit 24B140)
The pump on the HTX 2030 Sprayer can also be
switched out with a Top Coat Kit 24B140 (purchased
separately). This pump is used for less viscous
materials such as:
Oil-based coatings
•Enamels
•Latex
Block fillers
Elastomerics
Epoxies
Drywall mud
Other high-build materials
For instructions on installing the Top Coat Pump, see
Displacement Pump on page 70.
When Top Coat Pump is Installed
Pump will only run when ON/OFF switch is in ON
position and: pump control is rotated clockwise
away from OFF position
Pump control setting adjusts sprayer pressure
a. Rotating knob fully clockwise allows sprayer to
reach maximum working pressure of 3300 psi
(228 bar, 22.8 MPa)
b. Settings below maximum will lower system
pressure
Pump will run whenever system pressure is below
the setting of the pump control
Sprayer will not respond to Prime switch or Applica-
tor switch when Top Coat pump is installed

1. Fill mixing pail with
pre-mixed texture mate-
rial.
Add approximately 10%
water to texture mix or
per material manufac-
turer instructions. Mix
thoroughly.
2. Connect material hose to pump out-
let.
Material and Sprayer Preparation
NOTE: A dry material hose can extract
water from the material and lead to a
plugged hose. If the inside of the hose
is dry, pump water through it before
pumping texture material.
Cementicious and other curing materi-
als can harden within the drain valve
while spraying. At least once per hour
stop spraying and open the drain valve
to flush out the older material.
