Pressure Relief Procedure

Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury from splashing or moving parts.

1.Engage the trigger lock.

2.Close the bleed-type master air valve to shutoff the pump.

3.Disengage the trigger lock.

4.Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a grounded metal pail. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.

5.Engage the trigger lock.

6.Open all fluid drain valves in the system, having a waste container ready to catch drainage. Leave the drain valve(s) open until you are ready to spray again.

7.If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or that pressure has not been fully relieved after follow- ing the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Clear the hose or tip obstruction.

Cleaning Solutions

Prepare the cleaning solution according to the manufac- turer’s instructions. Be sure to observe all warnings. If you are using powdered cleaners, mix them thoroughly in a separate pail before adding them to a supply drum. Undissolved powders are extremely abrasive and may damage pump parts.

Wear appropriate protective clothing, such as water- proof outerwear and eye goggles, according to the cleaner manufacturer’s recommendations. Cleaning chemicals may be toxic, and cause serious irritation to your eyes or skin.

Flushing

To reduce the risk of fluid injection injury, static spark- ing, or splashing, relieve the pressure, and remove the spray tip (spray guns only) before flushing.

Hold a metal part of the gun/valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail and use the lowest possible fluid pressure during flushing.
