container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
IMPORTaNT: 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.
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.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
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

do so may lead to a static electric
discharge, which may cause a fire.
13. 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.
14. Continue to trigger the spray gun into the waste container
until the solvent coming out of the gun is clean.
NOTE: For long-term or cold weather storage, pump
mineral sprits through the entire system.
15. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
16. Store the sprayer in a clean, dry area.
IMPORTaNT: Do not store the unit under pressure.
