under the pump.
4. Turn Pressure Control Knob to low.

contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment
with a compatible solvent before using the equipment
for the first time.

To reduce the risk of static sparking, which can
cause fire or explosion, always hold a metal part
of the gun firmly against the metal pail when flush-
ing. This also reduces splashing.
•
To reduce risk of injection, always remove the
spray tip before flushing.
