Pressure Relief Procedure

WARNING

To avoid injury, relieve air and fluid pressure before checking, cleaning, or repairing the equipment.

The following is a basic pressure relief procedure. Be sure to follow the specific pressure relief procedure in your spray gun and/or fluid supply equipment manuals.

1.Close the main air shut-off valve.

2.Trigger the gun or dispense valve and open any drain valves to relieve pressure.
