SOLVENT SELECTION
Always follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning,
solvent type, and disposing of used solvent.
Latex Paints: Use warm, soapy water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use mineral spirits on latex paints or the mixture will congeal
making it very difficult to remove.
Oil Based Paints: Use mineral spirits.
After each use:
1. Empty the Paint Cup (16) and clean it with the solvent.
2. Fill the Paint Cup (16) with solvent and spray it through the Gun into a container, while
shaking the gun. Once the Paint Cup (16) is empty, repeat the process until the solvent
comes out clean.
Disconnect from the air source. After disconnecting, be aware that air pressure may
still remain in the Spray Gun. Point the Gun into the spent solvent container and squeeze
the Trigger again to make sure no air remains.
3. Remove the Air Cap and soak it in solvent until it is clean. Use an old toothbrush and
toothpicks to remove any material. Do not use metal objects to clean the Air Cap or
you may damage the drilled passages. Inspect the fluid needle and make sure it is
not bent. If it is bent, have it replaced by a certified service technician.
Warning!! Do not immerse the Spray Gun Body in solvent!
4. Use the appropriate solvent (depending on the material sprayed) to wipe down the Gun
body.
5. Always lubricate the Spray Gun after cleaning. You may use a non-silicon oil or a light
lubricant on all threaded connections prior to storing the unit.
6. Disposal: After cleaning your Spray Gun, properly dispose of your cleaning solutions
according to the solution manufacturer’s direction and local hazardous waste standards.
IF A FLAMMABLE SOLVENT NEEDS TO BE USED, ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Follow all of the solvent manufacturer’s clean up instructions and
safety precautions at all times.
2. Always flush the Spray Gun a full hose length from the air compressor.
3. If collecting flushed solvents into a metal container, transfer into a larger
nonmetal container, and flush the metal container.
4. Work far away from any ignition sources in a vapor free area.
