HOW TO FLUSH

FIGURE 1
Prime/Pressure Relief Valve (Prime/PR Valve)
Used to relieve pressure from gun, hose & tip and to prime
the unit when in OPEN position. (It is in open position
when there is a wider gap
between valve handle and
cam body).
When in CLOSED position,
there is only a very slight gap
between handle & body.
When closed the system is
pressurized.
Handle as a loaded firearm!
PRIME/PRESSURE (PR) RELIEF VALVE (FIG. 1) is
used to prime pump and to relieve pressure from gun,
hose and tip.
1. Be sure the gun safety latch is engaged and there
is no spray tip in the gun. Refer to separate gun
instruction manual on how to lock the safety latch
and the gun's safety features. Refer to Figure 4
and Page 8 for Airlessco 007 Gun.

2. Pour enough clean, compatible solvent into a large,
empty metal pail to fill the pump and hoses.
3. Place the suction tube into the pail.
4. Turn the Prime/Pressure Relief (PR) Valve to the
"OPEN" , priming position. Refer to Fig. 1.
WARNING -
To reduce the risk of static
sparking which can cause fire or explosion,
always hold a metal part of the gun firmly
against the metal pail when flushing. This
also reduces splashing. Refer to Fig. 5.

gun firmly against the metal pail and force the
solvent from the pump and hose. Engage the gun
safety latch until you are ready to spray.
