small parts.
It is very practical, time saving and economic for cleaning Spray Guns and small parts. The unit is supplied
with a pneumatic pump that pulls solvent from the container below in the cabinet. The solvent that you will
use will depend on the type of paint that you are using. The manufacturer of the paint will give you the
information you need regarding this.
This manual is an integral part of the product. It must be properly stored, kept ingood conditionand available
for consultation atany time during the entire working life of the Spray Gun Cleaner. Proper washer operation,
economy anddurability depend oncommon senseandcompliance with theinstructions given in this manual.

Read the following sections carefully. They will help you use your Spray Gun Cleaner correctly and
help you select the correct function for your task.
Description of the valves
- a: Foot Pedal
- b: Flow Brush Valve
- c: POWER CLEAN Connection
- d: POWER PISTOL
Description for using the Spray Gun Cleaner unit
The first step in learning to use the Spray Gun Cleaner is to become familiar with the unit. The cleaner
basically consists of one (1) pump and one (1) container. Operations are carried out via the controls
placed on the top front panel which the operator can control the use.
a –The “Foot Pedal” supplies air to the pump for all fluid functions. Fluid will not flow without
depressing the foot pedal.

OPERATION GUIDELINES (cont’d)
b –The “Manual Flow Brush” valve allows you to operate the Manual Flow Brush. When engaged
the pump will pull solvent from the container through the flow brush. There is also a flow control
at the end of the flow brush handle to adjust the rate of fluid flow.
c–The “POWER CLEAN” connection is a High Flow Quick Disconnect that connects to the air-side
of the spray gun to protect the air passageways and seals during cleaning. There is also a flow
control next to the QD to adjust the rate of airflow through the spray gun
d–POWERPISTOLTM is mounted in the top of the spray gun cleaner and is activated by turning the
valve to the POWERPISTOL position for cleaning the hard to reach areas of the spray gun. There
is also a flow control attached to the POWERPISTOLTM to adjust the rate of fluid flow for cleaning.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT POUR LEFTOVER PAINT INTO THE WASH BASIN.
Manual Cleaning
To manually wash your spray guns start by removing the cup from the spray gun, empty the cup's
residues into a separate pail. Pour approximately ½ inch of used solvent by turning the “Manual Brush
Wash” valve (b) to the ON position into cup and clean with the brush.
This fluid is returned into the fluid container for reuse.
A brush has been added to the unit to help clean parts and paint guns. The solvent will come out from
the center of the brush.
You can also clean parts or spray guns with POWERPISTOLTM. POWERPISTOLTM is mounted in the
top of the spray gun cleaner and is activated by turning the valve to the POWERPISTOL position for
cleaning the hard to reach areas of the spray gun. Be sure to connect POWER CLEAN to the spray
gun before cleaning to protect the air passageways of the gun.

OPTIONAL Filtration Recycling System
The unit has an Optional Filtration Recycling System to remove particulate from the solvent. This system
filters out particulate down to 75 micron. Some processes may require the solvent to be purged periodically
due to a build-up of activate type solvents.
The Filters are easily changed by a replacement kit (825258K) that includes two 75 micron filters and two
seals (seals are normally useless once the housing is opened).

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Troubleshooting method to isolate the system (Pump) from the Filtration Recycling Systems:
Remove filters from housings, re-attach empty housings and run the gun cleaner (it will take several minutes
for the housings to fill up). If the system runs normally, the problem was caused by the filters. If the system
does not run correctly, the problem was caused by the pump.
