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 container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
The pump, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake,
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 pump, hose, or gun. Static electricity buildup
may result in a fire or explosion in the presence of
flammable vapors.
Flushing the Unit
Flush the unit with the solvent appropriate to the material
being used after daily use (use solvents at room temperature).
The unit should then be flushed again with mineral spirits.
For long term storage, flush the unit with an appropriate oil
before storing.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
2. Remove the gun tip and soak in a container filled with a
solution appropriate to the type of material being sprayed.
3. Check to be sure the pressure control knob is turned fully
counterclockwise to its lowest setting.
4. Prepare a container of solvent appropriate to the type of
material being sprayed.
5. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
6. Tilt the siphon tube above the material container and allow
the unit to pump itself dry through the return tube.
7. Remove the material container and replace it with the
container of appropriate solvent.
8. Allow the appropriate solvent to circulate through the unit
for 2–3 minutes.
9. Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
10. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its SPRAY position.
11. Hold the gun against the side of a metal material
container and trigger the gun into the container. Be
careful to prevent splashing
12. When solvent appears, release the gun trigger and place
the gun in a separate metal container.
13. Trigger the spray gun into a waste container until solvent
comes out and the pump, hose, and gun are clean.
14. Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
15. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME. Remove the
siphon tube from the solvent container.
16. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and allow the
unit to pump itself dry through the return tube.

Daily Maintenance
Perform the following procedures daily.
Filling the Wet Cup Reservoir With Oil
Before you start to spray each day, put a tablespoon of Piston
Seal Lubricant (P.S.L.) into the wet cup in the upper pump
housing. Household oil and cooking oil also work when P.S.L.
is not available.
This lubricant keeps the piston seals pliant, minimizing paint
bypass and piston wear. If the unit is operated several hours a
day, lubricate approximately every 4 hours.
NOTE: Do not apply so much that it overflows and
drips into the paint.
CAUTION
NOTE: Refer to the Parts Lists and Service
Instructions section of this manual for detailed
service instructions.
