Cleaning

It is essential that the sprayer be cleaned after each use. Parts that fail due to improper
cleaning will not be warranted. Use the following steps as a guide to proper cleaning and
maintenance.
1. Place the suction hose into a container that has been filled with a solvent recommended by
the compound manufacturer to clean spraying equipment after use.
2. Place the return hose in an empty container the same size, or larger than the one with the
cleaning agent.
3. Turn the bypass valve to the on position and start the engine. Allow the cleaning agent to run
through the pump for 2-3 minutes.
4. Turn the bypass valve to the off position and spray wand to the on position. Allow the want to
spray into the empty container for about 20 seconds. This procedure may need to be repeated
several times to ensure that the pump and spray wand are clean.
5. Check the procedures for cleaning provided by the solvent manufacturer. Some cleaning
solvents require that they be flushed out with water after they are used. If this is the case, we
recommend that a small amount of form oil or diesel fuel be used AFTER using water. This will
prevent the internal components of the pump from seizing, due to the formation of rust on the
pump internals.
6. Disconnect all the hoses and allow all the liquid to drain from the lines.
7. As you begin your next spraying operation, spray a small amount of compound through the
lines and into an empty container. This will clear any remaining water or solvent before it is
mixed with the regular spraying compound.
