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.
NB
: Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the valves to become stuck closed, which
would require disassembly and cleaning of the sprayer´s fluid suction.
CAUTION!
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
•
Place the suction pipe into a container of the appropriate solvent.
NB
: If you are spraying a water-based latex, flush with warm, clean water. If you are
using any other material, check with the material manufacturer for a compatible solvent.
