Page 7: Daily maintenance
English
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun nozzle tip
removed when using mineral spirits or any other solvent
to clean the pump, hose, or gun. Static electricity buildup
may result in a fire or explosion in the presence of
flammable vapors.
Flushing the Unit
Flush the unit with the solvent appropriate to the material
being used after daily use (use solvents at room temperature).
The unit should then be flushed again with mineral spirits.
For long term storage, flush the unit with an appropriate oil
before storing.
1. Follow the pressure relief procedure found earlier in this
manual.
2. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY
valve to SPRAY to bleed
off any pressure
remaining in the pump.
3. Remove the gun tip and
clean with a solution
appropriate to the type of
material being sprayed.
4. Remove the material
container and replace it with a container of solvent
appropriate to the type of material being sprayed.
5. Check to be sure the pressure control knob is turned fully
counterclockwise to its lowest setting.
6. Turn the power switch to ON.
7. Trigger the spray gun into a waste container until solvent
comes out and the pump, hose, and gun are clean.
8. Follow the pressure relief procedure found earlier in this
manual.
9. Make certain that the power switch is turned to OFF.
10. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to SPRAY to bleed off any
remaining solvent.

Maintenance
Daily Maintenance
Perform the following procedures daily.
Filling the Packing Nut Reservoirs With Oil
Before you start to spray each day, squirt a
lubricant such as hydraulic oil into the slots in the
upper pump housing. Household oil and cooking
oil also work when hydraulic oil is not available.
This lubricant keeps the piston seals pliant, minimizing paint
bypass and piston wear. If the unit is operated several hours a
day, lubricate approximately every 4 hours.
Cleaning the Intake Screen
1. Remove the intake
screen and clean with a
solvent appropriate to
the type of material
being used.

NOTE: Do not apply so much that it
overflows and drips into the paint.
