Cleanup
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at
least one hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon metal
container, then flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
Pressure Relief Procedure
Always reduce pressure when you are cleaning a clogged
tip, changing a tip, servicing any part of the system, or
shutting down. Follow the steps below:
1. Engage the gun trigger lock.
2. Shut off the power source.
3. Close the orange-handled hydraulic shut-off valve on the
hydraulic pressure hose.
4. Open the pressure bleed valve by turning it
counterclockwise at least three full turns.
5. Disengage the gun trigger lock and hold trigger open until
flow of material stops.
6. Be certain to hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side
of a grounded metal container.
Cleaning a Clogged Tip
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” above.
2. If tip clogs, rotate tip handle 180° until arrow on handle is
facing the opposite of spray direction and clicks in reverse
position.
3. Trigger gun once so that the pressure can blow the clog
out. NEVER use the tip in the reverse position for more
than ONE trigger pull at a time. This procedure can be
repeated until the tip is free of clogging.
The flow from the spray tip is at very high pressure.
Contact with any body part may be dangerous. Do not
place finger on gun outlet. Do not point the gun at any
person. Never operate the spray gun without the proper
tip guard.

Color Change/Clean Out
Use only compatible solvents when cleaning out oil based
enamels, lacquers, coal tar, and epoxies. Check with the
fluid manufacturer for the recommended solvent.
1. Reduce pressure by turning the pressure control knob and
the pressure bleed valve on the bleed line
counterclockwise. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure”
above. The pressure bleed valve should be turned
counterclockwise at least three full turns.
2. Pull the siphon tube out of the material container.
3. Remove the spray tip from the gun. Hold the gun trigger
open until material flow stops.
4. Put the siphon tube into wash solvent or water as
applicable, and operate the pump slowly at low pressure
until solvent flows freely from the bleed line.
5. Close the pressure bleed valve and hold the gun trigger
open until solvent flows freely from the gun. If solvent is
not too dirty, recirculate it by flowing the gun stream back
into the solvent container. Use additional clean solvent
and repeat procedure, if necessary.
6. Check the gun filter and pump outlet filter screen daily.
Use 50 mesh screens with spray tip size .018 and larger.
Use 100 or 200 mesh screens with spray tip sizes .015
and smaller.
7. Replace the paint filter cap to maximum clockwise
rotation. The filter cover should be hand removable after
the first or second use with new
PTFE
o-ring.
IMPORTANT: The o-ring must have the
PTFE
backup
washer to seal properly.
8. If the unit has been spraying a water soluble material,
flush with water and then repeat procedure with mineral
spirits or Varsol solvent.
9. Wash the spray tip in solvent. Blow the tip clean with air
pressure directed through the tip in the reverse direction.
