5. Cleanup
Attention
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.
