Preparing a New Sprayer
If this unit is new, it is shipped with test fluid in the fluid section to
prevent corrosion during shipment and storage. This fluid must be
thoroughly cleaned out of the system with cleaning agent before you
begin spraying.
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
