Cleanup

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.
Attention
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.

Cleaning the sprayer

1. Follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" found in the Operation
section of this manual, section 4.2, page 24.
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.

Cleaning the Spray Tip

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.
Attention
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.
