Flush - Graco XM PFP Instructions - Parts Manual

Flush

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of
static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
If your system uses heaters, shut off the main power
to the heaters and heated hose control and allow to
cool before flushing.
NOTICE
To prevent fluid from curing in the equipment, flush
the system frequently. Be sure there is an adequate
supply of flushing fluid before spraying.
NOTE:
• Ensure the chosen flushing fluid is compatible with
dispense fluid and the equipment wetted parts.
• Solvent may channel through viscous fluids and
leave a coating of mixed fluid on the inner tube of
your hose. Be sure all fluid is thoroughly flushed from
the hose after each use.
• Remove spray tip for more thorough cleaning of the
whip hose and static mixers.
• Use heated water or choose a solvent that dissolves
the material you are mixing.
• Always leave equipment filled with fluid to avoid dry-
ing and scaling.
1. Relieve pressure; see page 10.
