When you've finished your project and are ready to store
the backpack unit and accessories, a thorough cleaning and
lubrication is recommended.
NOTE: A five gallon bucket is recommended for cleaning
the roller and the hoses. Recommended cleaning solutions
are warm water for latext products and Klean-Strip
Formula Paint Thinner for oil-based products. When finished,
properly discard all used cleaning solution.
Place the motor switch in the reverse position and allow
to run for about 30 seconds. This will allow excess paint/
stain to be recirculated from the tubes and the sprayer
or roller back into the tank.
Remove the battery pack from the backpack unit.
Remove the lid from the tank.
Remove the tank from the backpack unit.
Return any unused paint or stain to its original container.

(following the use of oil-based products).
Reinstall the tank and replace the lid. Make sure the
intake tube and filter are pushed down to the bottom of
the tank.

If you were using the sprayer, spray the solution onto
a piece of cardboard or other scrap material. Continue
spraying until all the solution is used. Then disconnect the
DC power cord from both the sprayer and the backpack

roller head. Hold the roller head over the bucket and pull
the trigger, allowing the cleaning solution to flush through
the roller head and into the bucket.
Turn off the unit and remove the battery pack.
Remove the lid from the tank and remove the tank from
the backpack unit.

unit and sprayer or roller.
Clean all tubes, hoses, connections, and accessories us-
ing the cleaning brush and appropriate cleaning solution
in the five gallon bucket.
NOTE: For a thorough cleaning, remove the connections
from each end of the paint supply tube and clean each
piece separately.
Allow all pieces to completely dry before reinstalling parts
and storing the unit.
