Preparing a new sprayer

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 with mineral spirits before you
begin spraying.
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
Attention
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of mineral spirits.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its
lowest pressure setting (fig 5, 2).

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.
i Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the valves
to become stuck closed, which would require dis-
assembly and cleaning of the sprayer's fluid section.
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
Attention
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent for the material being sprayed.
If you are spraying a water-based latex, flush with
i
warm, clean water. If you are using any other
material, check with the material manufacturer for a
compatible solvent.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its
lowest pressure setting.
