Cleaning
WARNING! TO PREVENT FIRE,
IF A FLAMMABLE SOLVENT NEEDS TO BE USED,
ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING:
a. Follow solvent manufacturer’s clean up
instructions and safety precautions.
b. Flush Spray Gun a full hose
length from air compressor.
c. If collecting flushed solvents in
metal container, transfer to nonmetal

sources in a vapor free area.
e. Keep class ABC fire extinguisher nearby.
Solvent Selection
Follow the paint and solvent
manufacturer’s recommendations for
cleaning, solvent type, and disposal.
IMPORTANT: Do not use mineral spirits with latex paints,
doing so will make the paint very difficult to remove.
After Every Use
1. Use solvent recommended by paint manufacturer.
2. Remove the Cup, along with any tubes or
filters. Carefully scrape paint out of Cup.
Dispose of excess paint properly, then clean
Cup and accessories with solvent.
3. Reduce air pressure to minimum, then fill the Cup
with solvent and spray it through the Spray Gun
into the spent solvent container, while shaking
the Spray Gun. Once the Cup is empty, repeat
the process until the solvent comes out clean.
4. Disconnect from the air source.
5. After disconnecting, point the Spray Gun into
the spent solvent container and squeeze the
Trigger again to make sure no air remains.
Note: Do not immerse Spray Gun Body in solvent.
Do not allow solvent to enter the air inlet.
6. Remove Nozzle by hand and soak it in solvent
until it is clean. Use brush and toothpicks
(sold separately) to remove any paint.
Note: To prevent damage to the passages, do
not use metal objects to clean the Nozzle.
7. Wipe down Spray Gun Body with
a clean cloth and solvent.
8. Make sure all parts are free from residual paint.
9. If switching from oil-based to latex paint,
after cleaning with solvent, clean all
parts with warm soapy water.
10. Rinse with warm water, then thoroughly
blow dry all parts with compressed air.
11. Reassemble Spray Gun.
12. Use spray gun lubricant (sold separately) on
EXTERNAL moving parts. (See Figure P)
NOTICE: Do not use any kind of lubricant
in air supply or air inlet. The lubricant will
mix with paint, causing poor results.
