Cleanup
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
The pump, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake,
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 pump, 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 suction tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent. Examples of the appropriate solvent are water for
latex paint or mineral spirits for oil-based paints.
4. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
5. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to its PRIME
position.
6. Turn the unit on by moving the ON/OFF switch to the ON
position.
7. Slowly turn the pressure control knob clockwise to
increase the pressure until fluid starts to come out of the
return hose. Use only enough pressure to keep the fluid
coming out.
8. Allow the solvent to circulate through the unit and flush
the paint out of the return hose into the metal waste
container.
9. Turn the unit off by moving the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.
10. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its SPRAY position.
11. Turn the unit on.
Ground the gun by holding it against
the edge of the metal container while
flushing. Failure to do so may lead to
a static electric discharge, which may
cause a fire.
12. 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.
13. Continue to pull and release the trigger until the solvent
coming out of the gun is clean.
NOTE: Pulling and releasing the trigger of the spray
gun creates a “pulsing” action that cleans out
the hose and the spray gun more effectively.
