Cleanup

WARNING

Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable solvents:

•Always flush spray gun at least one hose length from spray pump.

•If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal container, place it into an empty five gallon metal container, then flush solvents.

•Area must be free of flammable vapors.

•Follow all cleanup instructions.

CAUTION

The pump, hose and gun should be cleaned thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake, seriously affecting the performance of the unit.

After daily use, paint should be flushed from the unit with solvent compatible with the material applied, and then reflushed with mineral spirits.

WARNING

When cleaning the pump, hose and gun with mineral spirits or any other solvent, always spray at minimum pressure with the gun spray tip removed. Static electricity buildup may result in fire or explosion in the presence of flammable vapors.

WARNING

Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure when shutting the unit down for any purpose including servicing or adjusting any part of the spray system, changing or cleaning the spray tips, or preparing for cleanup.

1.Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.

2.Bleed off any remaining pressure in the pump by turning the PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME.

3.Remove the gun tip and clean it using an appropriate solvent.

4.Remove the paint container from below the suction tube.

5.Place a container of appropriate solvent below the suction tube.

6.Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to the lowest setting.

7.Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON.

8.Trigger the spray gun into a waste container to flush the pump, hose and gun clean.

9.Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.

Maintenance

Daily maintenance

Three daily procedures are required for routine operator maintenance on this unit:

1.Lubricating the upper packings.

2.Cleaning the high pressure filter screen.

3.Cleaning the intake screen.

Lubricating the upper packings

1.Clean out the paint that has seeped past the upper packings into the extension housing.

NOTE: You may need to loosen the screws on the front cover and remove the finger guard to thoroughly clean the extension housing.

Excess paint in the extension housing will adversely affect the performance of the unit.

WARNING

Do not run the pump without the finger guard and the front cover in place. Moving parts are a tissue crushing hazard.

2.Squirt upper housing lubricant (Part No. 9992504) into the slots in the upper pump housing. If the unit is operated several hours a day, lubricate approximately every 4 hours.

NOTE: Do not apply so much lubricant that it overflows and drips into the paint.

Cleaning the high pressure filter screen

The high pressure filter will clog and must be cleaned as needed.

1.Turn the filter housing counterclockwise to remove it from the filter head.

2.Take out the filter element and wash it thoroughly with the appropriate solvent. Scrub the filter with a fiber-bristled brush if necessary.

WARNING

Do not use a wire brush. Damage to the filter element could result.

NOTE: The filter should be cleaned at least once a day.

If you are using block fillers, mastics or other similar materials, leave the filter out.
