When you shutdown the equipment for interruption or overnight stoppage,
always lock the spray gun trigger. If you fail to do so, it may be pulled
accidentally, and personal injury may result.

Color change and additive addition precautions
(1) When you change paint fluids, thoroughly flush the can with solvent so that no paint residue may
be left unremoved. (Paint residue may cause the nozzle to get clogged.)
(2) When you add additives, do so through the filter.
(3) When you change paint colors, take the suction pipe out of the paint can, pull the trigger discharging
all paint from the system (this way you can save solvent), then flush it with solvent repeating
suction-circulation-discharge circles as many time as it takes to completely flush the fluid passage
from the inlet to outlet. After this, change paint colors.
Equipment Maintenance Guidelines
(1) When the pump V packing is worn, replace.
(Rule of thumb: Replace every six months under normal operation condition.)
(2) When paint is solidified and accumulated in the pump, take it apart and clean.
Before you take parts apart, always drain all paint fluid in the system and
completely relieve the pump operating pressure and wrap air pressure down to
zero.
(3) Flush the spray gun by shooting solvent. In addition, you need to clean the contacting surfaces
between the seat housing and nozzle by wiping with a thinner-soaked rag. When paint is solidified
in the gun, take it apart and clean.
Please exercise extreme care when cleaning or replacing the nozzle. Bring the
pressure down following the “Pressure Relief Procedure” and then take the
nozzle off. It is quite dangerous to try to remove paint stuck in the nozzle
unless the pressure is completely removed, with the trigger locked.
(4) Always keep the high-pressure fluid hose clean, free from paint residue and other contaminants.
Remove deposited paint, if any. Always keep the hose free from mechanical shock.
(e.g., don’t stomp on, don’t put things on, don’t run over with vehicle.)
Never use a broken hose. Check the hose throughout its length for cut, fluid
leak, wear, blister, scratches, and loose fitting. Should you find anything
wrong, stop using the hose right there and then, and replace.
