Cleanup
Fluid Compatibility
Oil or water-based materials
If spraying
water-based
materials, use
water for cleanup. If spraying
oil-based
materials, use non-flammable mineral spirits
for cleanup.
•
Switching between
water-based
and
oil-based
materials can cause clogging
issues in the sprayer. Always clean
sprayer thoroughly with appropriate
cleaning fluid.
•
It is recommended to thoroughly flush
the sprayer with non-flammable mineral
spirits prior to using
oil-based
materials.
Static Grounding
Instructions (Oil-Based
Materials)
Always use a metal pail for oil-based
materials requiring flushing with compatible
oil-based flushing solvents when sprayer is
flushed or pressure is relieved.
Follow local code. Use only conductive
metal pails, placed on a grounded surface
such as concrete.
Do not place pail on a non-conductive
surface such as paper or cardboard which
interrupts grounding continuity.
Use only water-based or oil-based
(mineral spirit-type) materials with flash
point greater than 100° F (38° C).
Do not
use materials which state “FLAMMABLE”
on the packaging. For more information
about your material, request a Safety Data
Sheet (SDS) from distributor or retailer.
Clean in a well-ventilated area.
Keep a
good supply of fresh air moving through
the area.
To avoid serious injury or damage to
equipment, do not expose the sprayer
electronics to cleaning fluids. Keep
sprayer
at least 10 in. (25 cm)
above the
rim of the container when cleaning.
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking and
electric shock. An electric or static spark
can cause fumes to ignite or explode. An
improper ground can cause electric
shock. A good ground provides an escape
wire for the electric current.
