Cleanup -
Cleaning the Unit
and Components
Start
You will need:
• A waste container
• A minimum of one gallon of warm, soapy
water if you used latex paints
• A minimum of one quart of mineral spirits if
you used oil-based paints
Note:
Cleaning time and the amount of
cleaning solution you use may vary depending
upon the type of material used.
IMPORTANT: Make sure your floors and
furnishings are covered with drop cloths
during cleanup.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SUBMERGE THE
ROLLER HANDLE INTO ANY LIQUIDS!
Note:
A light paint film residue may remain in
the paint hose after cleaning. This is normal
and will not affect the future performance of
your unit.
Note:
Switch the unit OFF (0) prior to removing
any accessories or components.
Note:
A Roller Cleanup Kit™ is available for
separate purchase. See Accessories, page 32
for ordering information.
1. Submerge suction tube into a
bucket of the appropriate cleaning
solution.
4. While unit is self-cleaning,
disassemble the roller assembly*,
and thoroughly clean the roller
cover, core, and cap by hand.
If using the Smart Edge Roller,
clean the roller cover by hand. A
spray bottle with the appropriate
cleaning solution can assist in
cleaning the harder-to-reach
areas.

an empty bucket.
Note:
The unit must be lower than the
arm in order for air to be completely
purged from the paint hose.

cleaning solution is purged from

Turn variable speed dial to 0
(OFF). Unplug power cord.

remove the roller arm from the

Remove any remaining paint with
the appropriate cleaning solution
and a damp cloth.
