waste container ready to catch drainage. Leave
drain valve(s) open until you are ready to spray
again.

that pressure has not been fully relieved after follow-
ing the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip
guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve

Flushing
Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid
being dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.
Flush out old fluid with new fluid, or flush out old
fluid with a compatible solvent before introducing
new fluid.
Use lowest possible pressure when flushing.
Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpect-
edly, which could result in serious injury from splash-
ing or moving parts.
Flush equipment only in a well-ventilated area. Do not
spray flammable fluids. Do not turn on heaters while
flushing with flammable solvents.
