Cleanup for Latex Paint
After purging the Paint Roller, use these steps for latex paints only.
1.
Place a large empty bucket on a counter or shelf higher than the container of cleaning solution. Warm
soapy water is recommended for latex paints. Be sure the empty bucket has greater capacity than the
container of water.
2.
Hang the Roller Arm (39) onto the empty container so that water pumped through it will flow into the container.
3.
Move the Selector Switch to the “Clean” position. This will cause the Pump (15) to operate without
pressing the Handle Button (24).
4.
While the unit is self-cleaning, HAND CLEAN the Paint Roller (43), Roller Core (45) and Spatter Shield (46).
5.
When all the cleaning solution has been pumped through, elevate the Main Unit above the Handle Assem-
bly and continue to run the Pump Assembly (15) until all the cleaning solution has been purged from the
unit.
6.
Move the Selector Switch to “Off” and unplug the unit.
NOTE: Some paint residue will remain in the tubes, but this will not harm the unit or impair future painting
performance.
7.
If you are using the Extension, press the tabs on the Roller Arm Coupling (35) of the Extension Tube
(34) and pull out the Roller Arm (39). Press the tab on the Handle Connector (27) and remove the
Extension Tube (34).
8.
If you are not using the Extension, press the tab on the Handle Connector (27) and remove the Roller Arm (39).
9.
Clean the Handle unit with a damp cloth. CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE THE HANDLE UNIT, AS IT WILL
BE DAMAGED.
Cleanup for Oil Based Paint
After purging the Paint Roller, use these steps for oil based paints only.
1.
Place the Roller Arm (39) and Suction Tube (14) in a bucket of mineral spirits or other appropriate paint
cleaner.
2.
Move the Selector Switch to the “Clean” position. This will cause the Pump (15) to operate without
pressing the Handle Button (24).
3.
While the unit is self-cleaning, HAND CLEAN the Paint Roller (43), Roller Core (45) and Spatter Shield (46).
4.
After the unit has run for 10 or more minutes, and is clean, follow steps 1-3 for cleaning latex based
paint as listed above.

bly and continue to run the Pump Assembly (15) until all the cleaning solution has been purged from the
unit.
6.

NOTE: Some paint residue will remain in the tubes, but this will not harm the unit or impair future painting
performance. CAUTION: When starting on a new paint project, first purge any solvents or paint
pigments in the tubes from the previous clean up.
