Materials
Use only water-based or oil-based (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 informa- tion about your material, request MSDS from distribu- tor or retailer.
Spraying certain materials may cause static build-up in the sprayer that can result in static shock to the user. If this occurs, first ensure the mate- rial has a flash point greater than 100° F (38° C) and does not state that it is FLAMMABLE anywhere on the package. If still feeling a static shock, the material likely contains a non-mineral spirits fluid such as, but not lim- ited to, xylene, toluene, or naphtha, which can build up static. Switch to an alternative material.
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.
•When spraying water-basedmaterials, flush the sprayer thoroughly with water.
•When spraying non-water-basedmaterials, flush the sprayer thoroughly with mineral spirits or com- patible, oil-based flushing fluid.

4.To prime pump, disengage trigger lock and trigger sprayer for 10 seconds. Then release trigger and put prime/relief valve DOWN to spray position.
5.Reverse spray tip to UNCLOG position and spray into waste area for five seconds. Then rotate tip back to SPRAY position. NOTE: Failure to perform this operation could result in poor spray pattern.
You are now ready to spray! If sprayer fails to prime, follow Alternate Priming Method (page 21) and/or Inlet Valve Cleaning (page 22).
