-
er included) to the auxiliary air compressor port (L) to
supplement, or replace, the internal air compressor of
the TexSpray
. This may be useful when:
Additional air is needed to break up hard-to-spray
materials or
,
When the job site does not have the proper electric
service, but a gasoline-powered compressor is
available.
WARNING
Over pressurizing the system may cause compo
-
nent rupture and resulting in serious injury
.
T
o reduce the risk of over pressurizing the system, do
not use a compressor with an output pressure greater

WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually relieved to
prevent the system from starting or spraying acci
-
dentally. T
o reduce the risk of an injury from acci
-
dental spray from the gun, splashing fluid, or
moving parts, follow the
Pressure Relief Proce
-
dure
whenever you:
are instructed to relieve the pressure,
stop spraying,
check or service any of the system equipment,
or install or clean the spray nozzle.
Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Shut
of
f the system.
2. T
rigger the gun back into the hopper
.
3.
Open the gun air valve (handle parallel with valve
body).
4.
Unplug the system.
5.
Place a rag over the pump outlet fitting (B) and
slowly open the cam locks to relieve residual
pressure.
Operation Characteristics
1. Always
start the system with the compressor air
relieved!
How to relieve pressure: Be sure the gun air
valve (423) and air restrictor valve (424) are open.
This relieves compressor air every time you shut
of
f the system. See Fig. 7.
2.
Air bleeds from the gun nozzle whenever the gun
air valve (423) is open. Close the valve to stop the
air
, if desired. Otherwise, it can stay open except
during priming. See Fig. 7. See page 10 for more
gun characteristics.
3.
A compressor unloader valve (10) with two pres
-
sure relief valves (W) is located under the com
-
pressor guard (1
1). Air escapes from the valve,
causing a popping sound, when air flow at the gun
is too restricted. The valve resets automatically
when the air flow is increased. See Fig. 8.
4.
If air exhausts through the pump muf
fler or the
pump starts and then stops, see texture pump
manual 308–781.
5.
Always have the fluid hose installed when there is
material in the hopper
. If the hose is removed, the
hopper will drain out through the pump.
WARNING
The motor has a thermal overload switch which
shuts down the motor if it overheats.
T
o reduce the risk of serious bodily injury due to the
system restarting unexpectedly
, always turn the
ON/OFF switch (D) OFF if the motor shuts down.

Mix the Material
CAUTION
This
system is designed for use with only certain
types of material. Any other use could seriously
damage the unit.
Do not use any solvent-based materials. Use
only water-based materials.
Use only simulated acoustic and gypsum-based
wall texture materials in this system.
Do not spray cementious materials, which will
damage the pump.
Proper material mixture is essential. The pump
won’t operate if the material is too thick.
Mix material in a separate container and pour into the
hopper for best results.
Slowly add one bag of texture material to clean water
as instructed on the bag instructions. Agitate to a
smooth, lump-free consistency
.
Thin the material as
needed before pouring it into the hopper. For the
best results, do not use partial bags of material.

Startup
Prime the System
1. Fill
the hopper (J) with the prepared texture
material.
2.
Install a tip. Refer to the T
ip Selection Chart on
page 10.
3.
Open the gun air valve (423) to be sure air pres
-
sure is relieved and then close it again; the system
primes easier if no air is supplied to the gun.
4.
Be sure there are no kinks in the hose, which
restricts fluid flow
.
NOTE:
If spraying a simulated acoustic and coarse
aggregate material, disconnect the hose at the gun,
prime the pump and hose, and circulate material back
into the hopper for 10 seconds. T
urn of
f the pump.
Install the gun and tip.
5. T
urn the ON/OFF switch (D) ON. T
rigger the gun
into a pail. When texture material appears at the
tip, move the gun to the hopper and circulate until
there is a solid stream of texture material.

Control air volume with the gun air flow valve (424).
2
For more material volume, try a larger orifice tip.
Adjusting the System
Sufficient
fluid output (volume and pressure) and good
atomization requires testing to balance the compressor
air to the gun and pump and to select the right tip.
Keep in mind these important points when adjusting
the gun:
1.
Read all of pages 10 and 1
1 first.
2.
Refer to the chart above for tip selection. Consider
the size of aggregate in the material and the
coarseness of the spray pattern. Remember
, the
larger the tip, the heavier the pattern.
3.
The compressor provides air to both
the gun and
the pump; the more air you supply to the gun, the
less that is available for the pump.
4.
All spraying adjustments are made at the gun;
material pressure and flow rate is made by adjust
-
ing the regulator
.
5.
Start the sprayer with the gun air flow valve (424)
at its maximum setting (fully
+
). If needed, slowly
decrease the gun air flow until you get a good
spray pattern. Use the minimum amount of air at
the spray gun to achieve the proper spray pattern
and minimize bounce back.
6. T
urning the air flow valve (424) toward
(+)
increases air flow
through the gun which
decreases texture material output
.
7. T
urning the air flow valve (424) toward
(–) decreases air flow through the gun
which
increases pump output.
To Get Less Material
Try
any one or a combination of these methods.
1.
Screw in the gun fluid regulator knob (418).
2.
Use a smaller tip.
3.
Reduce pump pressure. Use the regulator
.
To Get More Material
Try
any one or a combination of these methods.
1. T
urn the air flow valve (424) to decrease (
–).
2.
Unscrew the fluid knob (418) to increase trigger
travel.
Note:
Maximum trigger travel occurs when trigger
bail (401) can hold trigger in open position. Fig. 1
1.
3.
Use a shorter hose.
4.
Use a thinner material mixture.
5. T
ry a larger orifice tip.
6.
Increase pump pressure. Use the regulator
.
CAUTION
T
urning the knob (418) out too far will remove the
knob and the gun will not shut of
f when the trigger is
released.
7. T
est the spray pattern on cardboard. Hold the gun
18 to 30 in. (457 to 762 mm) from the surface. Use
this spraying distance for most applications.
8.
Overlap each stroke 50% in a circular motion.

(360 ml) of clean water into the hopper drain.
CAUTION
T
o keep the unit in good operating condition, always
clean it thoroughly and prepare it properly for
storage, even for overnight storage. Pay particular
attention to these areas:
Keep the pump wet during non-use to help
prevent contaminants from drying inside the
pump.
Clean the sponge filter at least daily
. A dirty filter
allows contaminates into the compressor and
eventually into the pump, resulting in poor perfor
-
mance and damage.
Removing the material hose will allow the pump
to drain rapidly
. The material hose must remain
connected to keep the pump wet.
Oil the gun daily
.
Oil the pump air inlet. See Pump Maintenance in
the T
exture Pump Manual 308–781.
NOTE:
In cold weather
, store the system where it will
not freeze. If it does freeze, thaw it thoroughly before
