Shutdown and Cleaning, Flushing Sprayer

Shutdown and Cleaning

The motor has a built-in feature to protect itself from overuse. If the motor stops, the thermal switch has tripped. Do not return sprayer to store. The motor will operate normally after cooling for 20-30 minutes.

For best results, do not spray more than one cup of water through the tip while cleaning. If more flushing is needed, remove the tip from the sprayer.

NOTICE

Failure to properly clean sprayer after each use will result in hardened materials, damage to the sprayer, and the war- ranty will no longer be valid. Do not store solvents other than mineral spirits in sprayer. Always flush with Graco Pump Armor prior to storage.

Flushing Sprayer

Use only water-based or mineral spirit-type materials with flash point greater than 100° F (38° C). Do not use materials which state “FLAMMABLE” on the packaging. For more information about your material, request MSDS from distributor or retailer.

Use oil-based material outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a flow of fresh air.

Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.

NOTICE

Protect the internal parts of this sprayer from water. Do not submerge the sprayer in cleaning fluid. Openings in shroud allow cooling of mechanical parts and electronics inside. If water or cleaning fluid gets into these openings, the sprayer could malfunction or become permanently dam- aged.
