Operating the Gun Washer
1. Make sure all wire trigger locks and other accessories are
inside the gun washer tank.

over the unused nozzles and/or stem supports to prevent
solvent spray from hitting the underside of the gun washer
lid.
3. Close the gun washer lid.
4. Set the pointer to Gun Clean.
5. Turn the timer knob clockwise 90 degrees to the ON
position to start the gun washer. The gun washer will run for
90 seconds. Turning the timer knob less than 90 degrees
will reduce the timing cycle. Paint equipment will clean in
60 to 90 seconds.
6. If the lid is opened prior to the end of the timing cycle, the
safety air cutoff switch will stop the gun washer. The gun
washer will start again when the lid is closed if time remains
on the timer.
Note: Open and close the lid slowly to minimize solvent
vapor escape.
7. Remove the equipment from the gun washer and wipe off
any remaining solvent. The gun hanger on the front of the
stand can be used to dry the guns.
