Cleanup
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
• Always flush spray gun at least one hose length from
spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon metal
container, then flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
The pump, hose and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake,
seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
After daily use, paint should be flushed from the unit with
solvent compatible with the material applied, and then
reflushed with mineral spirits.
When cleaning the pump, hose and gun with mineral
spirits or any other solvent, always spray at minimum
pressure with the gun spray tip removed. Static electricity
buildup may result in fire or explosion in the presence of
flammable vapors.
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure when
shutting the unit down for any purpose including
servicing or adjusting any part of the spray system,
changing or cleaning the spray tips, or preparing for
cleanup.
1. Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
2. Bleed off any remaining pressure in the pump by turning
the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME.
3. Remove the gun tip and clean it using an appropriate solvent.
4. Remove the paint container from below the suction tube.
5. Place a container of appropriate solvent below the suction tube.

Lubricating the upper packings
1. Clean out the paint that has seeped past the upper
packings into the extension housing.
Do not run the pump without the finger guard and the front
cover in place. Moving parts are a tissue crushing hazard.
2. Squirt upper housing lubricant (Part No. 9992504) into the
slots in the upper pump housing. If the unit is operated
several hours a day, lubricate approximately every 4
hours.

appropriate solvent. Scrub the filter with a fiber-bristled
brush if necessary.
Do not use a wire brush. Damage to the filter element
could result.
