I couldn’t help but LOL at the part where you can’t figure out the tip too easily, either! 🤣 My husband and I just bought this unit yesterday and we almost got divorced trying to figure out how to get the spray tip in!!! The instructions are not in the manual, rather, on the back of the packaging torn to hell getting the tip out in the first place! I never heard so much cussing come out of my husband.😅 He was trying to shove the tip into the orange spray end of the spray head the way you tried initially at 11:34. He could not figure out why it wouldn’t go in! I finally found the tiny diagrams on the back of the tip packaging and had to yell at him STOP 🛑 and look at this diagram with me before he almost took a hammer to force it in! Oh my God, we had an ordeal with the tip. Thanks for the video and thank you for your service! ❤
Never yell at a man having trouble putting it in tip first. He will figure it out sooner or later or try going in the other hole on back but yelling at him will cause serious shrinkage and if he grabs a hammer try it again another night. Give him credit for trying if he isn't really big.
You can turn down the pressure when cleaning. Also, remove the tip and guard and put them in bucket of water, then clean out your hose and gun with them off. It will be a quicker and cleaner process.
Great video and instructions. Just a piece of advice - Use the lid for the 5-gallon pail and use the lid opening and remove the sprayer tip during cleanup. Once the output is clear, that indicates the inside, hose and trigger set is clean - Then you insert the tip and clean the tip. Learnt it a few yrs ago when I sprayed by 2400 sqft basement walls. That was some project. Now I am planning to seal/stain my 350 ft newly installed wood fence.
You are correct that the instructions about the tip are confusing. They are on the tip packaging that you tore up. The nozzle has a notch that you use to insert the tip. Makes it much easier. Great video. Thanks.
When priming the gun with paint and cleaning out the hose and gun with water, put on clean setting instead of spray, or remove thw tip all together so you dont make a mess with it spraying into bucket. But i like putting it on clean tip setting and spraying to clean the tip a bit before cleaning like you did with thw handle. If getting lines at the top and bottom of fan turn up pressure when painting. Each oaint different. Great video just passing on some things i learned with mine. Also, always use storage fluid. Keeps seals in the pump good and stops any rusting or freezing of water inside the pump.
Haha tip instructions are on the tip packaging which most people tear up when getting started then cant read haha. Using the tip itself with the little pin end helps for anyone watching. Also helps remove the tip gasket thing as well
For cleaning i use 2 buckets if water. First one i out the suction hose in and clean off the oaint on outside of it then go to fresh bucket of water to flush it. And like others said removing tip helps and makes less mess. But i did the same haha. Thats why these videos are here to kearn others pitfalls
Just found your channel and subscribed. I love your hat and the occasional sound of freedom in the background. I retired in 1995 after 20 years of B-52 and KC-135 maintenance. I bought an Avanti spray gun to use on my Wagner sprayer. Was checking your video to see how well it sprayed before I got it messed up. Looking forward to more of your videos and Thank-you for your service!
Great video, I agree with you, the instructions could be a lot better. However, double check the instructions, you can remove the filter in the gun handle. It’s counter clockwise.
Thanks for the time you have taken to record this . Every little bit helps! I will point out that you should never put your hand near the spray tip and spray like you did with your hand in the bucket while cleaning bad habit.
Been wanting to get an airless sprayer and this one looks sufficient for my needs. Thanks for making the video. I currently use a gravity fed SATA gun for spraying but I don't have a sufficient compressor so it's either get a new compressor or add this to my arescenal. This is probably the better option. Got a bunch of doors to paint and I prefer a sprayed finish over a brushed finish, although a brushed finish does lend itself to repairs where as a sprayed finish, if a repair is needed, you basically need to paint the entire surface again, unless it's clear coated.....or there is a technique that I don't know. Good video.
So has anyone figured out what the extra little piece of 3/4 hose is for? I thought it was an extension, but there's no coupler/nipple in the box, and the manual doesn't mention it...
Srill cant get a straight answer on what othwr tips, like graco or wagner fit this. Lookjng at racX tips but witht eh tip guard being red, if its like graco, it would be graco rac 4 or 5. Dont want to waste the money to find out they dont fit lol
Can I paint my wife’s spray tan lotion with one of these? I don’t know why she needs it as she is black but whatever. It takes me bout an hour to get her lotion all on her in one setting so I am thinking about getting this sprayer. Let me know
What is he doing guessing. I think that’s the reason for the instruction booklet. And if I assemble something what I do first is to do a parts list check
Comes with 515 more of an all purpose. HF sells a few other tips too for really thick or really thin but the tip included should work for most. Some paints like Sherwin Williams red can one coat are really thick and may want the thick thick top to use that. 515 should work for stains and interior and exterior normal water based paints you just get at big box stores or hardware store
It really looks like he would at least read the instructions before showing us how it’s done. That “spray tip” Seal give him more trouble than anything else and the package he ripped up had the directions on it. Mr DumASS.
@@JO-hz7sc I have one and have put quite a few hours in with it. That’s how I know the instructions were on the package he ripped up. Some people just jump into shit so fast supposedly knowing what they’re doing instead of looking and paying attention to what the package says and then it’s the tools fault they can’t read and comprehend.

😂 I’m glad y’all got it! I’m might have a few outtakes that would need a few bleeps 😬
Lol...... good times🎉

I'm getting one next week. $249 marked down to $199 at harbor freight. I liked your video dude. Thanx. Mike
Thanks Mike!
First helpful video I've found on this sprayer, thanks!

Thanks for your service Joshua! C-5, C-130, and F-16 crew chief before switching to public affairs.
One of the best reviews and unboxing I've seen. Thank you!
Thanks Jason!
Just bought this yesterday to stain my soffits around my house. Can't wait to use it. Needs to warm up a bit outside still.
Great video, I agree with you, the instructions could be a lot better. However, double check the instructions, you can remove the filter in the gun handle. It’s counter clockwise.
Thanks Michael! And thanks for the tip!
HF has a video that explains the process of cleaning better than the written instructions now lol
Great info. Very complete walkthrough. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!

Thank you, you saved me 1-2 hours ❤

Thanks for letting me know about the using my pain gun Sr
just curious ..... what does the surrounding concrete and brick look like after the overspray?
My name is Shawn too, but spelled the right way. :)
How bad is the overspray for painting indoors?
Good Video & Good Job, & Sorry But I Didn't Like The Music Much, But You Did Great 👍👍👍
So has anyone figured out what the extra little piece of 3/4 hose is for? I thought it was an extension, but there's no coupler/nipple in the box, and the manual doesn't mention it...
Haha i looked for your shed paint video but its not out yet lol
Did you ever figure out how to lube the piston? I have the oil, but there are no instructions on how to lube it.
Thank you! Your video was very helpful. I liked the music you had while you were cleaning the unit.
Thanks Rubio
Seems like a lot of overspray, looks like it would make a mess indoors.
Correct. Use indoors for new construction or remodel. Otherwise a lot of time masking off everything. Spraying part goes fast though.
Great video!
Thanks Jeff!
Great review…I’m getting,one
Thanks!
Srill cant get a straight answer on what othwr tips, like graco or wagner fit this.
Lookjng at racX tips but witht eh tip guard being red, if its like graco, it would be graco rac 4 or 5. Dont want to waste the money to find out they dont fit lol

The filter in the spray gun is removable and replaceable.Harbor freight sells it.
It was a great video thank you so much 🥰
Thanks!

Where do you dispose of the painted water bucket? Thinking of buying one of these, Good video!
In your neighbors yard or sewer drain
Filter screws off FYI for anyone.
What tips fit the gun ?
Comes with 515 more of an all purpose. HF sells a few other tips too for really thick or really thin but the tip included should work for most. Some paints like Sherwin Williams red can one coat are really thick and may want the thick thick top to use that. 515 should work for stains and interior and exterior normal water based paints you just get at big box stores or hardware store
Also you want the black tips not the gray. Gray are for handheld. Not sure what makes them different
Please spend more time on the spray handle that part confusing
cleaning out 50 ft of hose is kinda waste of paint...
You spray it back into you paint bucket to retrieve a lot of it. There is more waste in spraying though.
Lose the background music.
Had to stop watching, couldn’t handle it.
Dat paint looks lumpy AF!
Your goofy butt funny
Lol not at all how you prime a airless lol. Not at all
It really looks like he would at least read the instructions before showing us how it’s done. That “spray tip”
Seal give him more trouble than anything else and the package he ripped up had the directions on it. Mr DumASS.
Have you bought one and tried following the directions? It’s not clear on the package at all.
@@JO-hz7sc I have one and have put quite a few hours in with it. That’s how I know the instructions were on the package he ripped up. Some people just jump into shit so fast supposedly knowing what they’re doing instead of looking and paying attention to what the package says and then it’s the tools fault they can’t read and comprehend.
You shouldn't run water thru your tip if you wanna keep them functional
