The gasoline engine oil

Preparing to Paint
Before painting, it is important to make sure that the fluid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.
NOTE: If this unit is new, it is shipped with test fluid in the
fluid section to prevent corrosion during shipment
and storage. This fluid must be thoroughly cleaned
out of the system before you begin spraying.
Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the valves
to become stuck closed, which would require
disassembly and cleaning of the sprayer’s fluid
section.
ImPORTANT: Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in
the locked position while preparing the system. If necessary,
loosen the gun holder clamp knob and then engage the spray
gun trigger lock.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent for the material being sprayed (refer to
recommendations of the material manufacturer). An example
of the appropriate solvent is water for latex paint.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
