c. Flush the sprayer at the end of each work day, if the

harden in the sprayer overnight. See "Flushing". Use a
compatible solvent to flush, then fill the pump and hoses
with an oil based solvent such as mineral spirits.

Avoiding Tip Clogs
There is an easy way to keep the outside of the
tip clean from material build up:
Every time you stop spraying, for even a minute,
lock the gun and submerge it into a small bucket
of thinner suitable for the material sprayed.
Thinner will dissolve the buildup of paint on the
outside of tip, tip guard and gun much more
effectively if the paint doesn't have time to dry
out completely.
