Prime and Flush Storage Fluid
Before beginning a new spraying project you need to
prime the sprayer and flush the storage fluid out of the
sprayer.
Oil- or Water-based Materials
• When changing from water-based material to oil
based material, flush with soapy water and then
mineral spirits solvent (also called white spirit).
• When changing from oil based material to water
base material, flush with mineral spirits solvent (also
called white spirit), followed by soapy water, then a
clean water flush.

• Flush before changing colors, before fluid can dry in
the equipment, at the end of the day, before storing,
and before repairing equipment.

• To reduce the risk of static sparking, which can
cause fire or explosion. Always hold a metal part of
the gun firmly against the metal pail when flushing.
This also reduces splashing.
• Always remove the spray tip before flushing.
• Only metal pails, which are conductive, should be
used as solvent pails when flushing.
