Do not allow paint to build up on
the motor.  Overheating of the
motor will result.  Do not allow flammable solvents to
come in contact with the motor, which could ignite.

CLEANUP
WARNING
SHUT DOWN/CLEAN UP
1. Lock the gun and reduce the pressure.  Turn the
sprayer to prime A  and shut it off.  Unplug sprayer.
Leave the suction set in the paint. Refer to Pressure
Relief Procedure.
2.
Remove suction tube from paint and hold it above  a
bucket of water or solvent.  Leave the return tube
aimed into the paint bucket.
3.
If spraying with latex paint, use warm soapy water for
cleaning.  If using oil or alkyd-based paints, use
mineral spirits or paint thinner.  Do not use these
solvents on latex paint, or the mixture will turn into a
jelly-like substance which is difficult to remove.  Plug
the unit in and turn on.
4.
Increase PRESSURE CONTROL KNOB clockwise
to about 1/3 to 1/2 maximum pressure.  This will draw
the remaining paint in the suction tube through the
pump and down the return tube into the paint bucket.
5.
Set PRESSURE CONTROL KNOB counterclock-
wise back to minimum pressure.  Trigger gun to
relieve pressure and lock gun.
6.
Remove spray tip and guard,  washer,  and let soak
in warm water or appropriate solvent.

Place suction tube and return tube in container of
water or compatible solvent.
8.  Increase pressure to about 1/2 maximum pressure
and let circulate for 2-3 minutes to flush paint out of
the pump, suction tube and return tube.
