CLEANUP
Attention
The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned
thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so permits
material to build up, seriously affecting the
performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun
nozzle tip removed when using mineral spirits or
any other solvent to clean the sprayer, hose, or
gun. Static electricity buildup may result in a fire or
explosion in the presence of flammable vapors.
5.1

•
If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal container, place
it into an empty five gallon container, then flush solvents.
