NOTICE
The equipment was tested with lightweight oil,
which is left in the fluid passages to protect parts.
To avoid contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the
equipment with a compatible solvent before using
the equipment for the first time.

cause fire or explosion, always hold a metal part of
the gun firmly against the metal pail when flushing.
This also reduces splashing.
