Welcome to the world of H.E.R.O. airless paint spraying. We are sure you will enjoy owning and operating your new H.E.R.O. model 1100NC. With H.E.R.O. airless spray equipment you will avoid the inconvenience and mess of overspray. You are spraying paint, not air, and the paint is driven to the painting surface in a clean, fan shaped spray which penetrates all cracks and corners. To attain these results, you must adjust the pressure as low as possible. We recommend that you become familiar wi

pump is known as the paint or material pump. The paint system is made up of two basic valves, the paint intake valve assembly (ref# 16-28), paint outgo valve, (ref# 32). For correct operation, all four valves must be in good working condition. For this manual we will refer to the two systems as "hydraulic" and "paint". At the center of these two pumps is the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a flexible nylon disc which transfers the energy (pressure) created by the hydraulic pump, to create ener

movement causes a vacuum in the paint pump. This vacuum causes the intake valve to open, allowing a new supply of paint to enter. The corresponding paint outgo valve is drawn closed by the vacuum created by the diaphragm. These operations are repeated at a rate of 750 times a minute. These continuously repeated actions draw paint into the pump, pressurize it, and then deliver it to the gun. The failure, of any one valve, to operate correctly will effect the overall equipment perfo

"Diaphragm Test" The solution to almost all problems can be found in the paint side valves, due to the increased wear from contact with the abrasive paint/spray materials. Intake valve (ref# 16-23) and Outgo valve (ref#32) make up the paint valves. Refer to pages where exploded views of these valves are shown. To eliminate the hydraulic side of the pump (piston / oil side of diaphragm) as a source of problems; 1. Remove the intake valve end cap (ref# 16) by removing the four c
