Flushing and Cleaning
This gun is not adjustable. To ensure proper shutoff,
tighten the piston cap (27) onto the housing (1) until it
bottoms out.
•
Flush before changing colors, before fluid can dry in
the equipment, at the end of the day, before storing,
and before repairing equipment.
•
Flush at the lowest pressure possible. Check
connectors for leaks and tighten as necessary.
•
Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid
being dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.
•
Clean the front of the tip frequently during the day to
reduce buildup.
To reduce the risk of an injury, follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure, page
instructed to relieve the pressure.
NOTICE
Methylene chloride with formic or propionic acid is not
recommended as a flushing or cleaning solvent with
this gun as it will damage aluminum and nylon
components.
To reduce the risk of an injury, follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure, page
instructed to relieve the pressure.
To avoid fire and explosion, always ground equipment
and waste container. Maintain metal to metal contact
between the gun and the flushing pail. To avoid static
sparking and injury from splashing fluid, always
remove the spray tip and flush at the lowest possible
pressure.
