Long-Term Storage
Do not allow paint to build up on the motor or the
motor will overheat. Do not allow flammable solvents
to come in contact with the motor or they could ignite.
NOTE: If spraying with latex paint, use warm soapy water
for cleaning. If using oil or alkyd-based paints, use
mineral spirits or paint thinner.
IMPOrTaNT: Do not use mineral spirits or paint thinner on latex
paint, or the mixture will turn into a jelly-like substance which is
difficult to remove.
clearing the Paint Hopper
Use the following procedure to clear the material out of the paint
hopper of a hopper unit.
1. Lock the gun by flipping the trigger lock into lock position
(see spray gun manual).
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum setting.
3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME.
4. Move the motor ON/OFF switch to OFF.
5. Direct the return tube into the original material container.
6. Move the motor ON/OFF switch to ON.
7. Turn the pressure control knob to 1/2 maximum pressure.
This will draw the remaining material in the paint hopper
through the pump, up the return tube, and into the material
container.
8. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the
minimum pressure setting.
9. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure and lock the gun.
10. Remove the spray tip and guard and place them into a
container of water or appropriate solvent for the type of
material with which you are painting.
11. Fill the paint hopper with water or an appropriate solvent for
the type of material with which you are painting.
12. Direct the return tube into a waste bucket.
13. Increase the pressure to 1/2 the maximum pressure. Let the
water or solvent circulate for 2-3 minutes to flush material out
