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.

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.
