PREPARING THE SPRAYER FOR LONG-
TERM STORAGE
1. Fill a cup or other container with separating oil
(approximately 2 ounces) supplied with the unit and
submerge the inlet valve into the oil.
2. Place a rag over the spray hose port, and turn the switch
ON (l).
3. When the oil has been sucked from the cup, switch the
pump OFF.
4. Insert the pusher stem into the inlet valve. Make sure the
pusher stem is inserted fully.
5. Wipe the entire unit, hose and gun with a damp cloth to
remove accumulated paint.
6. Replace the high pressure hose to the paint hose port.
The pusher stem is designed to do two things:
It holds the oil in the valve to keep the carbide
seat from rusting.
Secondly, it will keep the ball off of the seat to
prevent any paint residue deposits that will cause
the ball to stick to the seat. Paint deposits or rust
formed on the carbide seat will cause priming and
operation problems during repeated uses.
