The 704-304 pail bracket is a mounting accessory that clamps or bolts onto the sprayer's frame, designed to hold a standard 5-gallon (or similar size) paint pail. It positions the material source at a convenient height and location, allowing the pump to draw directly from the pail for efficient operation.
A missing, bent, or broken bracket forces the operator to place the pail on the ground, which can lead to inefficient suction, increased strain on the pump inlet, and a less organized work area. Replacing the bracket provides a secure, elevated mounting point for the material container.
