HOW TO FLUSH
WARNING: To reduce the risk of static spark ing,
which can cause fi re or ex plo sion, al ways hold
a metal part of the gun fi rmly against the metal
pail when fl ushing. This also reduces splashing.
Refer to Fig.4.
12. Disengage the gun safety latch and squeeze the gun
trigger. At the same time, slowly turn the pressure con-
trol knob clockwise just enough to move liquid at low
pressure.
13. Allow the pump to operate until clean solvent comes
from the gun.
14. Release the trigger and engage the gun safety latch.
15. If you are going to start spraying, place the pump or
suction tube into the supply container. Release the
gun safety latch and trigger the gun into another emp ty,
metal container, holding a metal part of the gun firmly
against the metal pail (Fig. 4), forcing the solvent
from the pump and hose. When paint starts coming
from gun, turn pres sure control knob to minimum pres-
sure, place prime valve in prime (open) position and
engage the gun safety latch.
16. If you are going to store the sprayer, remove the suc-
tion tube or pump from the solvent pail force the sol-
vent from the pump and hose. Engage the gun safety
latch and refer to the "Storage" Procedure on page 1.
Step 5.
17. Whenever you shut off the sprayer follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure warning on page 8.
