•
When spraying
water-based
materials,
flush the system thoroughly with water.
• When spraying oil-based materials,
flush the system thoroughly with min-
eral spirits or compatible, oil-based
flushing solvent.
•
To spray
water-based
materials
after
spraying oil-based
materials, flush the
system thoroughly with water first. The
water flowing out of drain tube should be
clear and solvent-free
before
you begin
spraying the water-based material.
• To spray oil-based materials after
spraying water-based materials, flush
the system thoroughly with mineral spir-
its or a compatible oil-based flushing
solvent first. The solvent flowing out of
the drain tube should not contain any
water. When flushing with solvents
always follow Static Grounding
Instructions (Oil-Based materials),
page 30.
• To avoid fluid splashing back on your
skin or into your eyes, always aim gun
at inside wall of pail.
Static Grounding
Instructions (Oil-Based
materials)
Always use a metal pail for oil-based
materials requiring flushing with compatible
oil-based flushing solvents when sprayer is
flushed or pressure is relieved.
Follow local code. Use only conductive metal
pails, placed on a grounded surface such as
concrete.
Do not place pail on a non-conductive surface
such as paper or cardboard which interrupts
grounding continuity.
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking and
electric shock. An electric or static spark
can cause fumes to ignite or explode. An
improper ground can cause electric shock.
A good ground provides an escape wire for
the electric current.
