The front caster on the cart is designed to track the sprayer in
either a straight line or allow free motion. Standing behind the
sprayer, the trigger on the left handle of the cart controls the
operation of the front caster.
1. To lock the front caster in the straight line position,
squeeze then release the caster trigger and move the
sprayer forward.
2. To allow free motion of the front caster, squeeze and hold
the caster trigger.

pressure hose.
4. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
5. Hold the metal part of the gun rmly to the
side of a metal waste container to ground
the gun and avoid a build up of static
electricity.
6. Trigger the gun to remove any pressure
that may still be in the hose.
7. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
8. Place the bleed hose into the metal waste container.

Cleanup
Special cleanup instructions for use with
flammable solvents:
• Always ush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting ushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty ve gallon container, then
ush solvents.
• Area must be free of ammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
IMPORTANT: 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 siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent.
IMPORTANT: Use only compatible solvents when cleaning
out oil based enamels, lacquers, coal tar, and epoxies.
Check with the fluid manufacturer for the recommended
solvent.
4. Place the bleed hose into a metal waste container.
5. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise.

do so may lead to a static electric
discharge, which may cause a fire.
13. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until the
paint is ushed out of the hose and solvent is coming out
of the gun.
14. Continue to trigger the spray gun into the waste container
