Cleanup
Do not use flammable materials for cleaning purposes.
Danger
If you are using water-soluble materials, use warm suds
i
to clean the spray device. If you are using solvent-
based spray, use a suitable solvent for cleaning.
Do not use solvents for water-soluble materials, as the
i
mixture will turn into a gel-type substance which is
difficult to remove.
Figure 13 - Short Term Cleanup
i Only follow these instructions when using water-
soluble materials. If you are using solvent-based spray,
follow the Cleanup and Long-Term Storage steps.
A) Shutdown
1. Perform the Pressure Relief Procedure (see figure 5) and
unplug the sprayer.
2. Pour 1/2 cup water slowly on the top of the paint to prevent
the paint from drying.
3. Wrap the spray gun assembly in a damp cloth and place it in
a plastic bag. Seal the bag shut. Place the sprayer in a safe
place out of the sun for short-term storage.
B) Startup
1. Remove the gun from the plastic bag. Stir the water into the
paint.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME.
3. Plug sprayer in.
4. Turn the switch to ON (I).
5. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to SPRAY. Test the sprayer on a
practice piece and begin spraying.
Figure 14 - Flushing the System
Do not use flammable materials for cleaning purposes.
Danger
1. Lock the gun and remove spray tip assembly. Submerge
suction set into a bucket with appropriate cleaning solution
(a).
2. Place a waste container (b) next to the original material
container (c). The containers should be touching. Aim the
spray gun into the side of the original material container (c)
and hold the trigger.
3. While pulling the gun trigger, turn the pump ON (l), and turn
the PRIME/ SPRAY knob to SPRAY to purge material from the
hose back into the original container. Keep holding trigger
through next steps.
4. When cleaning solution flows from the spray gun, keep
holding the trigger and aim the spray gun into the side of the
waste container (ground gun with a metal container if flushing
with flammable solvent).
5. Trigger the gun until the fluid flowing out of the gun is clear.
You may need to dispose and obtain new cleaning solution.

6. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME and trigger gun to
relieve pressure.
Figure 15 - Cleaning the Spray Gun
1. Make sure the pump is switched OFF (O). Make sure
the PRIME/SPRAY knob is turned to PRIME. Unplug the
sprayer.
2. Remove spray gun from the paint hose using adjustable
wrenches.
3. Unclip the trigger guard (a) from the filter housing (b) by
pulling outward from the filter housing. Unscrew the filter
housing.
4. Remove the filter (c) from the spray gun housing and clean
with the appropriate cleaning solution (e.g. warm suds for
water-soluble materials).
5. Remove spray tip (d) from spray guard assembly. Clean spray
tip with a soft-bristled brush and the appropriate cleaning
solution. Be sure to remove and clean the washer (e) and
saddle seat (f) located in the rear of the spray tip assembly.
6. Replace the cleaned filter, tapered end first, into the gun
housing. The tapered end (g) of the filter must be loaded
properly into the gun. Improper assembly will result in a
plugged tip or no flow from the gun.
7. Install spray tip (d), saddle seat (f) and washer (e), and replace
spray guard assembly.
8. Thread the spray gun back onto the paint hose. Tighten with
a wrench.
Figure 16 - Cleaning the Suction Set
1. Lock the gun and turn the pump OFF (O). Turn the PRIME/
SPRAY knob to PRIME.
2. Remove the suction hose from the inlet valve. Remove the
return hose, by pushing the blue circlip ring up and pulling
the hose down simultaneously. Coarsely clean the outside of
both hoses with a suitable cleaning solution.
3. Clean the thread of the inlet valve (a) with a cloth.
4. Carefully remove the filter disc (b) from the suction filter using
pliers, and clean both.
5. After cleaning the suction unit screw the suction hose back onto
the inlet valve and replace the return hose in the return connection
piece.
6. Submerge the suction hose and return tube into a bucket of
new cleaning solution.
7. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME. Turn the pump ON (l),
and trigger the gun into a waste container to relieve pressure.
8. Let the pump circlulate cleaning solution through the suction
set for 2-3 minutes. Turn the pump OFF.
Figure 17 - Long-Term Storage
1. Fill a cup or another container with a little separating oil or
a light, common household oil. Hold the cup under the inlet
valve. The valve opening must be completely in the oil bath.
2. Place a rag over the spray hose port, and turn the switch ON
(l). When the oil has been pumped from the cup, turn the
pump OFF (O).
3. Fully insert the Quickflo™ valve.
4. Wipe the entire unit, hose and gun with a damp cloth to
remove accumulated paint. Replace the high pressure hose to
the paint hose port.
