• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot 
lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and 
plastic drop cloths (potential static arc).
• Keep work area free of debris, including sol-
vent, rags and gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn 
lights on or off when flammable fumes are 
present.

  EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Do not exceed the maximum working pres-
sure or temperature rating of the lowest rated 
system component.
• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible 
with equipment wetted parts. Read fluid and 
solvent manufacturer’s warnings.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace 
worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Do not alter or modify equipment.
• Use equipment only for its intended purpose.
• Route hoses and cables away from traffic 
areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot sur-

TOOL USE AND CARE

SETUP
1. Install an air pressure regulator on gun air 
supply line to control air pressure.
2. Install a shutoff valve downstream of the air 
regulator to shut off gun air.
3. Connect a clean, dry, filtered air supply.
4. Connect air supply line to gun air inlet. Con-
nect other end to shutoff valve.

 FLUSH SPRAY GUN

that is compatible with gun wetted parts and 
fluid that will be sprayed. Use lowest possible 
pressure, and spray into grounded metal waste 
container. After flushing, follow Pressure Re-
lief Procedure.
