Shutdown and Cleaning

Shutdown and Cleaning
The motor has a built-in feature to protect itself from
overuse. If the motor stops, the thermal switch has tripped. Do
not return sprayer to store. The motor will operate normally
after cooling for 20-30 minutes.
For best results, do not spray more than one cup of water
through the tip while cleaning. If more flushing is needed,
remove the tip from the sprayer.
NOTICE
Failure to properly clean sprayer after each use will result in
hardened materials, damage to the sprayer, and the war-
ranty will no longer be valid. Do not store solvents other
than mineral spirits in sprayer. Always flush with Graco
Pump Armor prior to storage.

Flushing Sprayer

indoor area with a flow of fresh air.
