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 Control Knob to "OFF". Then open the Prime/Spray
Knob to release all pressure.
• Remove spray tip and guard and place in cleaning fluid.
• Turn Pressure Control Knob to prime/clean mode.
• While the unit is running in prime/clean mode, lift the Return Tube, and Suction Tube out of
the container and allow 10-15 seconds to pump out the paint.
• Turn the Pressure Control Knob to "OFF"
• Place the Return Tube and Suction Tube 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 Prime mode. (Vertical Position) Run for 30 seconds, turn to
Spray mode. (Horizontal Position)
• Unlock the Trigger, and with the Spray Tip still removed turn the Pressure Control Knob 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. If fluid is
not clear of paint, repeat with another gallon of clean water (if using water-based paint) or
clean solvent (if using an oil-based paint).(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 Suction
Tube out of the water or solvent. Turn the Pressure Control Knob to the lowest setting and
open the Prime/Spray Knob to release system pressure.
• Clean Spray Tip with a soft bristle brush, using the appropriate cleaning solution and
reassemble.
• Lock the Trigger before reinstalling the Spray Tip on the Spray Gun. (Figure S)
For Safety, always lock the Trigger when not in use.
• After use, clean external surfaces of the Airless Sprayer with clean cloth.

STORING

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.
