•
When spraying water-based materi-
als, flush the system thoroughly with
water.
• When spraying oil-based materials,
flush the system thoroughly with min-
eral spirits or compatible oil-based
flushing fluid.
• To spray water-based materials after
spraying oil-based materials, flush the
system thoroughly with water first. The
water flowing out of Drain Tube should
be clear before you begin spraying the
water-based material.
• To spray oil-based materials after
spraying water-based materials, flush
the system thoroughly with mineral spir-
its or a compatible oil-based flushing
fluid first. The fluid flowing out of the
Drain Tube should not contain any
water. When flushing with oil-based
flushing fluid always follow Static
Grounding Instructions (Oil-Based
Materials), page 29.
• To avoid fluid splashing back on your
skin or into your eyes, always aim gun
at inside wall of pail.
Static Grounding
Instructions (Oil-Based
Materials)
Always use a metal pail for oil-based
materials when sprayer is flushed or pressure
is relieved.
Follow local code. Use only conductive metal
pails, placed on a grounded surface such as
concrete.
Do not place pail on a non-conductive surface
such as paper or cardboard which interrupts
grounding continuity.
Always ground a metal pail: connect a
ground wire to the pail. Clamp one end to the
pail and the other end to a true earth ground
such as a water pipe.
To maintain ground continuity when
sprayer is flushed or pressure is relieved:
hold metal part of gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking. Static
sparking can cause fumes to ignite or
explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.
