Cleanup
Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure
trouble-free operation. Flush the gun after
each use and store in a dry location. Do not
leave the gun or any of its parts in water or
solvents.
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 sprayer, hose, gun and
gun filter should be cleaned
thoroughly after daily use.
Attention
Failure to do so permits material
to cake, seriously affecting the
performance of the unit.
Always spray at the lowest
possible pressure when the
tip and tip guard have been
removed. To clean the airless gun,
hose and spray device, use only
water or a suitable solvent. Static
electricity buildup may result in a
fire or explosion in the presence
of flammable vapors. Hold
the gun firmly against a metal
container while flushing.
