CLEANING AND LUBRICATION

Cleaning the Tank

Proper cleaning is the best way to ensure
trouble free performance from your paint
tank. If your tank is not thoroughly cleaned,
damage and poor operation will result.
Problems caused by improper cleaning will
not be covered by the warranty. Clean the
tank immediately after each use.
To clean your paint tank:
1. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY
FROM THE TANK!
EXPLOSION HAZARD! Removing the
lid while the tank is pressurized could
result in lid being thrown violently
from tank, causing serious personal
injury. Always shut off air pressure
at source and bleed off all pressure
in tank before removing lid.
2. Bleed out all tank pressure by pulling
the ring on the safety valve (Figure 10)
until air stops hissing out.

3. Turn the tank regulator T-handle coun-
terclockwise until you no longer feel
spring tension.
4. Loosen the wing screws on the tank lid
(Figure 10), tip the clamps back, and
tip the tank lid to one side.
5. Loosen the spray gun atomizing cap
retaining ring about three turns, then
turn ON the gun air supply.
6. Cover the cap with a cloth and pull
the trigger to force the material back
through the hose and into the tank.
7. Empty and clean the tank of all paint,
and fill it with solvent.
8. Replace the lid, tighten the clamps,
and spray the gun until it sprays clean
solvent.
Note: Check with local laws regarding
this practice. If you are spraying on a
regular basis, spraying solvents into
the air may be illegal. A cabinet style
spray gun cleaner may be required.
9. Use solvent to thoroughly rise all part
that came in contact with the material,
then dry with compressed air or let air
dry.
10. Make sure all the fittings on the tank
and regulator, valve, and material hose
are free of hardened material that
could prevent free movement of air.
