Cleanup
Attention
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.
5.1
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.
5.2
Cleaning the sprayer
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual, section 4.2, page 28.
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.
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.
Earth 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.
i
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, section 4.2, page 28.
18. Store the sprayer in a clean, dry area.
Attention
Do not store the unit under pressure.
5.3
Cleaning the Spray Tip
Do not attempt to clean the tip with your finger.
Attention
Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed
instrument to clean the tip. The hard tungsten
carbide is brittle and can be chipped.
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.
