IMPORTANT CLEANING

NOTES!

READ THESE NOTES AND

WARNINGS BEFORE YOU

START TO CLEAN YOUR

SPRAYER!

When using latex paints, clean your sprayer and components using warm, soapy water.

When using oil-based paints, use mineral spirits.

Do not use mineral spirits on latex paint, or the mixture will turn into a jelly-like substance which is difficult to remove.

No matter which cleaning solution you use, make sure to dispose of it properly when finished cleaning your sprayer.

Thorough cleaning and lubrication of the sprayer is the most important step you can take to ensure proper operation after storage.
