 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SEARS 5' SUCTION TUBE

Instructions:
1. Remove plastic container and suction tube from
sprayer.
2. Insert the Suction Tube, (6) you have just removed
from the gun and the Adapter Fitting, (3) into the
ends of the Plastic Tube, (4) as shown.
3. Place Return Cup, (2) under gun, making sure the
indent in the cup lines up the suction opening in the
sprayer. Slip Retainer Nut, (1) over cup and thread 2
into place.
4. Slip Clamp, (5) over plastic tube.
5. Push Adapter Fitting, (3) firmly into suction hole in
bottom of sprayer.
6. When ready to paint, clip the retainer clamp over the
lip of the paint can and proceed to paint.

 THINNING RECOMMENDATIONS
To insure a uniform spray pattern, it is necessary to thin many types of paint or stains before
they are sprayed. The Optional Viscosity Test Cup, accessory 30-16396, enables you to thin
paint precisely. It works on the simple principle that thicker (higher vicosity) materials take
longer to flow through a small opening than t hinner materials. To use it, simply fill the cup
by dipping it into the paint, then time how long it takes for all the paint in the cup to run out
through the hole in the bottom. The longer it takes, the higher the viscosity. Generally, latex
paints should be thinned until they empty the cup in 80 to 85 seconds. Other materials
should work adequately if l h-e viscosity is anywhere between 70 and 110 seconds. If you are
working with a thin material (less than 70 seconds), you may need to use a smaller spray tip.
If you are using the Flexible Extension, 30-16312 or the Five-foot Suction Tube, 30-16315,
additional thinning may be necessary. If you do not have a Viscosity Test Cup, use the
standby method of trial and error.

Listed below is a general thinning guide to follow when preparing to spray. These are only
recommendations as individual paints vary in the amount of thinning required. You may
want to gradually add thinner and try spraying until a desirable spray pattern is achieved.
Experiment by spraying against a newspaper which has been attached to a vertical surface
until you are satisfied with the spray pattern .

PAINT THINNING RECOMMENDATIONS

Stains- Interior Latex Up to one pint per gallon or 12.5%

Stains - Oil Base Use as is, unthinned

Acrylic Latex - Exterior Up to one pint per gallon or 12.5%

Acrylic Latex- Interior Up to two pints per gallon or 25%.

Latex Primers Up to two pints per gallon or 25%

Oil Base Use as is, unthinned

Regardless of the thinning required, always adhere to the coverage rate recommended on
the paint or stain can.

NOTE: When spraying thicker paints, you may get

better results by removing the suction tube filter basket.
However, do not remove the filter unless the paint you SUCTION TUBE
are using is new and absolutely clean. Keep the can
covered to prevent dirt from blowing or falling into the
paint. The filter is important to keep damaging grit from
entering the spray pump.
