Pour 1-2 gallons of *solvent or water into the tank and
swab the inside with a rag. Re-pressurize the tank and
force the liquid through the system by pulling the
control lever (1). Repeat the above procedure until no
residue of paint is shown in the liquid.
* Note: Always use the solvent recommended by the
paint manufacturer. DO NOT use petroleum base
cleaners or thinners with water based paint. The
cleaner will react with the paint, making it gummy like
putty. If paint thinner or similar cleaners have been
used, flush the system with soapy water and then clear
water before using water based (latex) paint.
5.
Finally wipe away any extra liquid in bottom of tank.
Clean and rinse exterior of machine.
