4.4 Preparing to Spray
Before spraying, it is important to make sure that the uid in the
system is compatible with the paint that is going to be used.
i
Incompatible uids and paint may cause the valves
to become stuck closed, which would require
disassembly and cleaning of the sprayer’s uid
section.
Attention
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 the appropriate
solvent for the material being sprayed.

If you are spraying a water-based latex, ush with
warm, clean water. If you are using any other
material, check with the material manufacturer for a
compatible solvent.
