When spraying water-based materials,
flush the system thoroughly with water.
•
When spraying oil-based materials,
flush the system thoroughly with mineral
spirits or compatible, oil-based flushing
solvent.
•
To spray water-based materials after
spraying oil-based materials, flush the
system thoroughly with water first. The
water flowing out of drain tube should
be clear and solvent-free before you
begin spraying the water-based mate-
rial.
•
To spray oil-based materials after
spraying water-based materials, flush
the system thoroughly with mineral spir-
its or a compatible oil-based flushing
solvent first. The solvent flowing out of
the drain tube should not contain any
water. When flushing with solvents
always follow Static Grounding
Instructions (Oil-Based materials),
page 26.
•
To avoid fluid splashing back on your
skin or into your eyes, always aim gun at
inside wall of pail.

Static Grounding
Instructions (Oil-Based
materials)
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking. A static
spark can cause fumes to ignite or explode.
A good ground provides an escape wire for
the electric current.
Always use a metal pail for oil-based
materials requiring flushing with compatible
oil-based flushing solvents when sprayer is
flushed or pressure is relieved.
Follow local code. Use only conductive metal
pails, placed on a grounded surface such as
concrete.
Do not place pail on a non-conductive surface
such as paper or cardboard which interrupts
grounding continuity.
