Ok now first thing what you want to do is, of course is have you tip of your spray machine inside a five gallon bucket with paint. After that you're going to have to put your priming hose outside the bucket. You're going to go ahead a switch your power switch on and then set your button down here to prime and once you got that taken care of you'll go ahead, start turning the knob, a little slowly down to increase the pressure. By then you're going to start seeing water and paint start to come outside the priming line. Once you see a good solid flow of paint you know that you're primed and ready to go. You can automatically now switch your button to spray. Once you switch your button to spray yet again you will turn down your pressure knob to make sure you got an adequate pressure for your spray gun.
