7. CLEANING A CLOGGED TIP
a. Follow PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE on page 9.
b. Clean the front of the tip frequently (with toothbrush only)
during the day to keep material from building up and
clogging the tip.
c. To clean and clear a tip if it clogs, refer to the separate
instruction manual received with your gun and nozzle.
Never hold your body, fingers, or hand in a rag in front of the
spray tip when cleaning or checking it for a cleared tip. Al-
ways point the gun toward the front or into a waste container
when checking to see if the tip is cleared or when using a
self-cleaning tip.
WARNING
IMPORTANT WARNING
Always follow the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
on page 9 before perfoming any service or maintenance
procedure.
THERE IS AN EASY WAY TO KEEP THE OUTSIDE OF THE
TIP CLEAN FROM MATERIAL BUILD-UP:
Every time you stop spraying, for even a minute, lock the gun
and submerge the gun into a small bucket of thinner compa-
rable with the material sprayed. Thinner will dissolve the build
up of paint on the outside of tip, tip guard and gun much more
effectively than if the paint dries out completely.
Clogged standard flat tip - clean only after the tip is re-
moved from the gun. Follow the PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE Warning on Page 9.

8. WHEN SHUTTING OFF SPRAYER
a. Whenever you stop spraying, even for a short break,
follow the "PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE".
b. Clean the tip & gun as recommended it the spray gun
instruction manual.
c. Flush the sprayer at the end of each work day, if the
material you are spraying is water-based, or if it could
harden in the sprayer overnight. See "Flushing". Use a
compatible solvent to flush, then fill the pump and hoses
with an oil based solvent such as mineral spirits.
d. For long term shutdown or storage, refer to the
"Flushing" section of this manual.
