GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals

amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions.
CAUTION:
It is important to thoroughly clean the sprayer after each
use or when changing colors. Allowing paint or stain to
remain in an idle tool for an extended period can cause
