Step 3 – Cleaning & Storage (Cont.)
changing buckets.
When you are sure that the pump is clean, get one more bucket of water. Place the suction tube in it and turn the One Touch
Control knob to the clean hose position (see Figure 22). Turn the reversible tip on the gun to the clean position.
Spray into a waste
bucket until clear water comes out of the gun. Submerge tip in water to avoid splashing. Another way to reduce splashing is to keep the tip angled above the fluid level.
For storage of six months or more, use a storage fluid such as Pump Protector. Follow directions provided by the manufacturer.
Coatings That Clean Up With Something Other Than Water
When the coating manufacturer rec- ommends mineral spirits or some other cleaning fluid, pour enough of the solution into a bucket to come about an inch above the suction filter. Do not use a waste bucket. Keep the bypass tube in the fluid bucket with the suc- tion tube. Allow the fluid to circulate for 10 minutes in the clean pump posi- tion (see Figure 21).
Turn the One Touch Control to the clean hose icon (see Figure 22). Turn the reversible tip on the gun to the clean position ( see Figure 23). Spray into a waste bucket until there is no
more fluid in the suction bucket. Submerge the tip in water to avoid splashing. Another way to reduce splashing is to keep the tip angled above the fluid level.
Dispose of solvent according to local ordinances.
For best results, repeat this process one more time with fresh cleaning fluid.
You can strain and reuse the cleaning fluid. Nothing else needs to be done for long term storage.
