Shutdown and Cleaning

NOTICE

Failure to properly clean sprayer after each use will result in hardened materials, damage to the sprayer, and the warranty 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.

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 material 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 limited to, xylene, toluene, or naphtha, which can build up static. Switch to an alterna- tive 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.

NOTICE
