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.
ImPORTANT: 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.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the Operation
section of this manual.
2. Remove the gun tip and tip guard and clean with a brush
using the appropriate solvent.
3. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent (refer to recommendations of the material
manufacturer). An example of the appropriate solvent is
water for latex paint.
4. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
5. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to its PRIME position.
NOTE: Hold the return hose in the waste container when
moving the PRImE/SPRAy valve to PRImE in case the
sprayer is pressurized.
6. Move the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position and start
the engine.
7. Turn on the sprayer by moving the sprayer ON/OFF switch to
the ON position.
8. Slowly turn the pressure control knob clockwise to increase
the pressure until fluid starts to come out of the return hose.
9. Allow the solvent to circulate through the sprayer and
flush the paint out of the return hose into the metal waste
container.
10. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its
lowest setting.
11. Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.
12. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve to its SPRAY
position.
13. Turn on the sprayer.
14. Turn the pressure control knob slowly
clockwise to increase pressure.
Ground the gun by holding it against
the edge of the metal container
while flushing. Failure to do so may
lead to a static electric discharge,
which may cause a fire.
15. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until the paint
is flushed out of the hose and solvent is coming out of the gun.
16. Continue to trigger the spray gun into the waste container
until the solvent coming out of the gun is clean.
NOTE: For long-term or cold weather storage, pump
mineral sprits through the entire system.
17. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the Operation
section of this manual.
18. Store the sprayer in a clean, dry area.
ImPORTANT: Do not store the unit under pressure.
cleaning the Spray Tip
1. Flush the gun with solvent immediately after
the work is completed.
2. Oil the sliding pins to prevent them from
seizing up.
Should the spray tip become clogged, reverse the
spray tip with the lever and pull the trigger. Once the
obstruction comes out of the spray tip, release the
trigger, reverse the spray tip back to the spray pattern setting, and
resume spraying.
Do not attempt to clean the tip with your finger.
Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed instrument
to clean the tip. The hard tungsten carbide is brittle
and can be chipped.
