Solvent Selection
Follow the paint manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations for cleaning, solvent
type, and disposing of used solvent.
1. Latex Paints: Use warm, soapy
water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use mineral
spirits on latex paints or the mixture
will congeal, making it very difcult to
remove.
2. Oil Based Paints: Use mineral spir-
its.
WARNING! TO PREVENT
FIRE, IF A FLAMMABLE
SOLVENT NEEDS TO BE
USED, ADHERE TO THE
FOLLOWING:
3. Follow all of the solvent manufactur-
er’s clean up instructions and safety
precautions at all times.
4. Flush the Spray Gun a full hose
length from the air compressor.
5. If collecting ushed solvents into a
metal container, transfer into a large
nonmetal container, and ush the
metal container.
6. Work far away from any ignition
sources in a vapor free area.
After each use:
1. Empty the Paint Cup and clean it with
the solvent.
2. Fill the Paint Cup with solvent and
spray it through the Spray Gun into
a container, while shaking the spray
gun. Once the Paint Cup is empty,
repeat the process until the solvent
comes out clean.
3. Disconnect from the air source.
IMPORTANT: Clean the Spray Gun IMMEDIATELY after use.
Improper cleaning will cause the Spray Gun not to work properly.
Materials dry quickly which will render the gun useless.
It is extremely difcult to remove dry paint from small passages within the Gun.
