6. Start the engine.
a. To start the gas engine,
• move the fuel valve lever
to the open position,
• move the throttle lever to
its middle point,
• move the choke lever to
the closed position for
a cold engine or to the
open position for a warm
engine,
• turn the engine switch to
the ON position, and
• pull the starter rope briskly until the engine starts.
7. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise approximately
1/3 of the way down to increase pressure until the sprayer
cycles evenly and paint flows freely from the bleed hose.
8. Turn off the sprayer.
a. To turn off the gas engine,
• set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise,
• move the throttle lever to the slow position, and
• turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
9. Remove the bleed hose from the waste container and
place it into the container of paint.
10. Close the bleed valve by turning it fully clockwise.
11. Start the engine.
12. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise approximately
1/3 of the way down to increase pressure.
13. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
Earth the gun by holding it against
the edge of the metal container
while flushing. Failure to do so may
lead to a static electric discharge,
which may cause a fire.
Danger
14. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until all air
and solvent is flushed from the spray hose and paint is
flowing freely. from the gun.
15. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger
lock to the locked position.
16. Turn off the sprayer.
17. Attach tip guard and tip to the gun as
instructed by the tip guard or tip manuals.
POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD.
Do not spray without the tip guard
in place. Never trigger the gun
unless the tip is in either the spray or the unclog
position. Always engage the gun trigger lock
Danger
before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.
18. Start the engine.
19. Increase the pressure by turning the pressure control knob
slowly clockwise and test the spray pattern on a piece
of cardboard. Adjust the pressure control knob until the
spray from the gun is completely atomized.
Turning the pressure up higher then needed to
i
atomize the paint will cause premature tip wear and
additional overspray.

Preparing the PowrHandler
Use this procedure to start up the PowrHandler drive system for
the first time.
Due to the load on the electrical system of the
i
LineCoat, the PowrHandler will not work at the
same time as the Headlight accessory (P/N
0555915) without a battery pack.
1. Make sure the drive lever is
in the disengaged (forward)
position. The line striper will
move freely when the drive lever
is disengaged.
2. Turn the speed control clockwise
to its lowest setting.
3. Start up the line striper using
the normal procedure outlined
previously in this manual.
4. Make sure the bleed valve on the line striper is closed.
The PowrHandler system will not operate properly
i
with the bleed valve open or with the pressure
control knob at a minimum pressure setting.
5. Turn the pressure control knob on the line striper
clockwise approximately two turns.
6. Open the hydraulic shut-off valve on the line striper to
activate the hydraulic system.

7. Turn the speed control and power control
counterclockwise approximately one turn.
8. Move the FORWARD/REVERSE switch to both the
FORWARD and REVERSE positions and make sure the
belt on the PowrHandler transaxle is rotating properly.
FORWARD/REVERSE
Switch
9. Move the drive lever to the engaged (rear) position.
10. Move the FORWARD/REVERSE switch to both the
FORWARD and REVERSE positions. The line striper
should move forward and backward. If the line striper
does not move, turn the pressure control knob on the line
striper clockwise to increase the hydraulic pressure.
11. Check the hydraulic system for
leaks.
12. Turn off the line striper
13. Move the drive lever to the
disengaged (forward) position.
The line striper will move
freely when the drive lever is
disengaged.
