MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

CLEAN UP
To Flush The System:
Clean with water if using a water-based paint. Clean with solvent if using an oil-based paint.
NOTE: Cleaning and flushing will also be required when changing color or type of paint i.e.,
water-based changing to oil-based.
• Lock the Gun Trigger. Turn the Pressure Adjust Knob to "OFF". Then open the Prime/Spray
Knob to release all pressure.
• Turn the Spray Tip to its "Cleaning" position, remove spray tip and guard and place in
cleaning fluid.
• Turn Pressure Adjust Knob to prime/clean mode.
• While the unit is running in prime/clean mode, lift the Return Tube, and Siphon Hose out of
the container and allow 10-15 seconds to pump out the paint.
• Turn the Pressure Adjust Knob to "OFF"
• Place the Return Tube and Siphon Hose in a container filled with clean water (if using
water-based paint) or clean solvent (if using an oil-based paint).
• Turn the Prime/Spray Knob to spray mode.
• Unlock the Trigger, and with the Spray Tip still removed turn the unit to prime/clean mode.
• Aim the Spray Gun into a paint container and hold the Trigger open until the paint flow
stops and water or solvent just begins to flow. Release the Trigger. Aim the Spray Gun
into a water or solvent container for about two minutes. To reduce splashing, direct the
fluid stream along the inside of the container at a side angle and well above the fluid level
(or submerge the Spray Tip in the water or solvent). Release the Trigger. Point the Spray
Gun into an empty waste container and spray at least one gallon of fluid into it. (Figure Q )
WARNING! Conductive metal containers must be used when flushing flammable fluids
through the system. Always flush at low pressure with the Spray Tip removed. A metal part
of the Spray Gun must be held firmly against the grounded metal container when flushing or
relieving pressure from the Sprayer. (Figure R )
• Pump the water or solvent out of the system by lifting both the Return Tube and Siphon
Hose out of the water or solvent. Turn the Pressure Adjustment Knob to the lowest setting
and open the Prime/Spray Knob to release system pressure. Lock the Trigger before
reinstalling the Spray Tip on the Spray Gun. (Figure S )
• Remove Spray Tip from Spray Guard assembly. Clean Spray Tip with a soft bristle brush,
using the appropriate cleaning solution and reassemble.
• After use, clean external surfaces of the Airless Sprayer with clean cloth.

STORING

Prevent Pump corrosion and damage from freezing. Never leave water or water-based paint
in the Airless Sprayer when it is not in use in cold weather. Freezing fluids can seriously
damage the Sprayer. Drain the system completely of liquids and store indoors at room
temperature.
WARNING! If the Power Cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced only by a
qualified service technician.
