Getting Started

Priming and Flushing Storage Fluid (Hopper Method)

Before you use your sprayer for the first time or begin a new spraying project, you need to prime the sprayer and flush the storage fluid out of the sprayer.

Oil- or Water-based Materials

•When spraying water-basedmaterials,

flush the system thoroughly with water.

•When spraying oil-basedmaterials, flush the system thoroughly with mineral spirits or compatible, oil-based flushing solvent.

•To spray water-basedmaterials after spraying oil-basedmaterials, flush the system thoroughly with water first. The water flowing out of prime tube should be clear and solvent-free before you begin spraying the water-based material.

•To spray oil-basedmaterials after spraying water-basedmaterials, flush the system thoroughly with mineral spirits or a compatible oil-based flushing solvent first. The solvent flowing out of the prime tube should not contain any water.

•When flushing with solvents, ground gun. Read Grounding and Electric Requirements, page 4.

•To avoid fluid splashing back on your skin or into your eyes, always aim gun at inside wall of pail.

1.Make sure AllControl is set to OFF and sprayer is unplugged.
