Flushing
Operation
4.Open the solvent inlet valve (C). For the quickset manifold, close the A side flush valve (T).
Read warnings and grounding instructions in your sprayer manual. If your system uses heaters, shut off the main power to the heaters and heated hose control before flushing.
NOTICE
To prevent fluid from setting up in the dispensing equipment, flush the system frequently. Be sure there is an adequate amount of solvent in the sol- vent supply before spraying.
NOTE:
•Ensure flushing fluid is compatible with dis- pense fluid and the equipment wetted parts.
•Use a solvent that dissolves the material you are mixing.
•Solvent may channel through viscous fluids and leave a coating of mixed fluid on the inner tube of your hose. Be sure all fluid is thoroughly flushed from the hose after each use.
•Remove spray tip for more thorough cleaning of the whip hose and static mixers.
•Always leave equipment filled with fluid to avoid drying and scaling.
•Frequently remove, clean and replace the static mixer elements
