Purging and Priming for Solvent-Based Paint

Thorough cleaning is not necessary when using solvent-based paint. All you need to do is purge the test fluid from the system.

1.Secure the return hose into a waste container.

2.Place a full container of paint under the suction tube.

3.Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to reduce the pressure to its lowest setting.

4. Set the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME.

5. Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON.

6. Slowly turn the pressure control knob clockwise to increase the pressure until fluid starts to come

out of the return hose.

Use only enough pressure to keep the fluid coming out.

7.Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its lowest setting when the test fluid is purged and paint is coming out of the return hose.

8.Remove the return hose from the waste container and place it in its operating position above the container of solvent-based paint.

9.Keep circulating the paint through the system until the paint coming out of the return hose is free of air bubbles.

10.Turn the pressure control knob fully counterclockwise to its lowest setting.

The pump is now purged. Skip to Purging and Priming the

Spray Hose.

Purging and Priming the Spray Hose

After the pump is purged and primed, you must do the same for the spray hose.

2. Set the PRIME/SPRAY knob to SPRAY.

3. Unlock the spray gun.

4. Turn the pressure control knob slowly clockwise to increase pressure.
