Cleanup
Flushing the unit
Before you begin:
When cleaning, use the appropriate cleaning solution (warm,
soapy water for latex materials; mineral spirits for oil-based
materials)
IMPORTanT: never clean air cap or air holes in the nozzle
with sharp metal objects. Do not use solvents or lubricants
containing silicone.
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents (must have a flashpoint above 100ºF (38ºC):
• Always flush spray gun outside.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Cleaning area must be well-ventilated.
• Do not submerge turbine!
To Flush the Unit:
1. Turn turbine and handle switches to OFF (0) position. Unplug
the power cord. Loosen the material container by 1/2 turn,
but do not remove it. This will relieve any pressure left over in
the system.
Pull the trigger so that the material inside the spray nozzle
drains back into the container.
2. Unscrew the container and remove. Empty any remaining
material back into the material container.
3. Pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning solution into
the cup (Water=1/2 full. Mineral spirits=1/4 full).
4. Attach the cup to the nozzle and plug in the turbine. Turn
turbine and handle switches to ON (I) position.
5. Spray the cleaning solution into a safe area. While spraying,
gently shake the spray gun. This slight agitation will help
break up smaller particles of spray material.
6. Turn turbine and handle switches to OFF (0) position. Unplug
the power cord. Loosen the material container by 1/2 turn,
but do not remove it. This will relieve any pressure left over in
the system.
Pull the trigger so that the material inside the spray nozzle
drains back into the container.
IMPORTanT: If you cleaned the sprayer using mineral
spirits, repeat steps 1-6 using warm, soapy water.
