7. Lower the pressure setting. Turn on the sprayer.
Maintaining metal-to-metal contact, trigger the gun
into the flushing pail. Slowly increase the sprayer
pressure just until the pump starts. Keep the gun
triggered until the solvent flows freely from the
gun. Circulate the solvent to thoroughly clean the
sprayer. Release the gun trigger. Engage the gun
safety latch.
8. Open the drain valve and circulate the solvent
through the drain hose to thoroughly clean it.
Close the drain valve.
9. Remove the suction hose from the pail. Disengage
the gun safety latch. Trigger the gun and run the
pump a few seconds to push air into the hose. Do
not run the pump dry for more than 30 seconds to
avoid damaging the pump packings! Relieve pres-
sure.
10. Reinstall the clean filter screen.
11. Remove and clean the inlet strainer. Wipe paint off
the suction hose and drain hose.
