Cleanup
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
•
If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to build
up, seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun nozzle tip
removed when using mineral spirits or any other solvent
to clean the sprayer
, hose, or gun. Static electricity
buildup may result in a fire or explosion in the presence of
flammable vapors.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
2.
Remove the gun tip and tip guard and clean with a brush
using the appropriate solvent.
3. Place the suction tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent (refer to recommendations of the material
manufacturer). An example of the appropriate solvent is
water for latex paint.
4. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
5. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to its PRIME
position.
6. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise.
7. Turn on the unit by moving the ON/OFF switch to the ON
position.
8. Allow the solvent to circulate through the unit and flush
the paint out of the return hose into the metal waste
container.
9. Turn off the unit by moving the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.
10. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its SPRAY position.
11. Turn on the unit.
Ground the gun by holding it against the
edge of the metal container while
flushing. Failure to do so may lead to a
static electric discharge, which may
cause a fire.
12. Trigger the gun into the metal waste
container until the paint is flushed out of the hose and
solvent is coming out of the gun.
13.
Continue to trigger the spray gun into the waste container
until the solvent coming out of the gun is clean.
NOTE: For long-term or cold weather storage, pump
mineral spirits through the entire system.
For short-term storage when using latex paint,
pump water mixed with Titan Liquid Shield Plus
through the entire system (see the Accessories
section of this manual for part number).

14. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
15. Unplug the unit and store in a clean, dry area.
Do not store the unit under pressure.
Cleaning the Spray Tip
1. Flush the gun with solvent immediately after the work is
completed.
2. Oil the retractor pins to prevent them from seizing up.
Should the spray tip become clogged, reverse
the spray tip with the lever and pull the trigger.
Once the obstruction comes out of the spray
tip, release the trigger, reverse the spray tip
back to the spray pattern setting, and resume
spraying.
Do not attempt to clean the tip with your finger.
Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed instrument to
clean the tip. The hard tungsten carbide is brittle and can
be chipped.
