Preparing a New Sprayer
If this sprayer is new, it is shipped with test uid in the uid
section to prevent corrosion during shipment and storage. This
uid must be thoroughly cleaned out of the system with mineral
spirits before you begin spraying.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun
in the locked position while preparing the system.
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of mineral spirits.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob to the “MIN” setting.
