How to fill your Airless Paint Sprayer with Pump Armour. 

There are many types (colors) of antifreezes, do you know which one is good for Airless?

InstaBlaster...

Can you expand on this? What should I do to the ball valves for long term storage?

I was almost sure of myself but just wanted to make sure you were doing the same thing

For sure, one, off, on, off...etc. Terrible instructions. In fact there seems to be an error in one diagram from what I read and see on line.

@@LiveGoodSMW Yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking about. To say that Graco paint sprayers are temperamental would be an understatement. But, they are relatively easy to fix.

I run pump armour through my hose as well and leave it in the hose and gun.

Hi check out this other video we made which might help - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B8UEH7dt4V8.htmlsi=YS3EKgCWKNMg4D1D

Yes.

Yes, whenever I'm done spraying, I use water to flush out all the paints of machine ,hose,and gun ( if you use oil based paint, don't use water. Skip to paint thinner) then 1gal. Paint thinner till that's all trhough and paint thinner can sit in the machine, hose, and gun ( I do take the gun apart and clean it at the start and put new filter in the handle, unless the filter is really clean and I'll reuse it)

Yes

@Mike Studmuffin That makes sense. The guy that trained me always had me run it through the hose. I never considered that it might not be necessary until I watched this video and noticed that he didn't. Thanks for the reply.

first time on latex, use water on first time oil base use mineral spirit

i've never used pump armour on any of my sprayers and they all work fine, one is at least 15 years old and still going

Mainly storing for long periods of time. But if you don’t use it, there’s a chance of getting sticky steel balls. Then you’re messing around stripping it down before you even start your job as the pump won’t prime. Well worth using in my opinion. Helps keep the pumps seals lubricated as well.

@@LostInDistance I agree. Cheap insurance.

@@steve0874 that’s because it was built 15+ years ago 😂 their built to break now

It literally says it on the side of the sprayer and on the bottles. He also mentions it in the video.

I was also curious on this, he left it in spray? was always told to leave in prime? did you find a answer

@@jord1215 store it in prime..

@@garethkennett5168 did you get told this? the guy said leave in spray haha

@@jord1215 I know it fuck t with me to but prime is the resting position for these machines apparently leaving in spray position too much pressure on machine or something.. have used my unit abit now and have sussed it .. I had no clue at first but now I kinda sussed the machine.. the spray part is easy.. it was always for me learning and cleaning the unit

Sorry I can't find my reading glasses and can't really see what I'm typing but I don't think it matters that much prime or spray settings when stored .. but look in to it. I'll try again when I find my glasses!
