Before You Begin - WAGNER FLEXiO 990 Owner's Manual

Flushing the nozzle

Before you begin

• If you sprayed using latex materials, you will need a 1- to
5-gallon container filled with warm, soapy water.
• If you sprayed oil-based materials, you will need a bucket
filled with approximately 1 quart of mineral spirits.
Special cleanup instructions for use with
flammable solvents (must have a flashpoint
above 100ºF (38ºC):
• Always flush spray gun outside.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Cleaning area must be well-ventilated.
• Do not submerge turbine!
To Flush the Direct Feed iSpray Nozzle
1. Remove the material container from the pump (you may
have to lift up the suction tube holder to make room).
2. Replace the material container with a bucket of the
appropriate cleaning solution (see "Before you begin",
above). Lower the suction tube holder and submerge the
suction tube into the cleaning solution.
note: The spray nozzle should now be pointed directly
into the container of cleaning solution.
Turn the pump ON and allow cleaning solution to
circulate for approximately 5 minutes.
3. After 5 minutes, while pump is running, remove suction
tube from the cleaning solution and allow the solution to
purge from the nozzle and paint hose.
Turn the pump OFF.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice using new cleaning solution
each time. At the end of the third flushing, remove
the suction tube from the holder, and raise it up so it is
vertical. This will allow all fluids to be purged.
Keep the pump running for the next step.
note: The suction tube may no longer be clear due to
residual spray material. This is normal and will not affect
future performance of the unit.
5. Empty the paint hose of cleaning solution:
a. Starting as close to the pump as you can, lift the paint
hose above the level of the nozzle.
b. "Walk" the hose through your elevated hands until
you reach the nozzle. This allows gravity to fully drain
the hose of all liquids.
c. Shut the pump OFF.
6. Make sure to push the trigger stop back into the trigger
to release the trigger.
