the fluid section to prevent corrosion during
shipment and storage. This fluid must be
thoroughly cleaned out of the system with
mineral spirits before you begin spraying.
Incompatible fluids and paint may cause the
valves to become stuck closed, which would
require disassembly and cleaning of the
sprayer's fluid section.
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun
in the locked position while preparing the
