Step 3 – Cleaning &
Storage (Cont.)
changing buckets.
When you are sure that the pump is
clean, get one more bucket of water.
Place the suction tube in it and turn
the One Touch
Control knob to the
clean hose position
(see Figure 22). Turn
the reversible tip on
the gun to the clean
position.
Spray into a waste
bucket until clear water comes out of
the gun. Submerge tip in water to
avoid splashing. Another way to
reduce splashing is to keep the tip
angled above the fluid level.
For storage of six months or more, use
a storage fluid such as Pump Protector.
Follow directions provided by the
manufacturer.
Coatings That Clean Up With
Something Other Than Water
When the coating manufacturer rec-
ommends mineral spirits or some other
cleaning fluid, pour enough of the
solution into a bucket to come about
an inch above the suction filter. Do not
use a waste bucket. Keep the bypass
tube in the fluid bucket with the suc-
tion tube. Allow the fluid to circulate
for 10 minutes in the clean pump posi-
tion (see Figure 21).
Turn the One Touch Control to the
clean hose icon (see Figure 22). Turn
the reversible tip on the gun to the
clean position ( see Figure 23). Spray
into a waste bucket until there is no
more fluid in the suction bucket.
Submerge the tip in water to avoid
splashing. Another way to reduce
splashing is to keep the tip angled
above the fluid level.
Dispose of solvent according to local
ordinances.
For best results, repeat this process one
more time with fresh cleaning fluid.
You can strain and reuse the cleaning
fluid. Nothing else needs to be done
for long term storage.
