Installing the Gun Washer
1) Mount the Gun Washer to a wall (hardware not included),
in a Spray Booth, or another convenient location in the shop.
Grounding the Gun Washer
1) Using the ground wire supplied with the unit, ground the unit to a
true earth ground.
Connecting the air line
1) Install a 1/4 in. npt male coupler, that is compatible with
the quick disconnect of your air supply line, into the air
supply port on the side on the unit.
2) Connect air line to air source with at least 75 psi to the coupler.
Connecting an external air line to the Gun Washer (Optional)
1) The G507 is equipped with an external air output port on the
left side of the unit. When installing the unit in a paint booth,
an air line can be run directly from this port to the paint gun.
Note: When installing the unit outside the paint booth, a small
air line can be attached to the side port to attach to the
paint gun during cleaning.
Adding water or solvent to the Gun Washer
1) Fill the supply container with water/solution/solvent and insert the
pick up line.
2) Place an empty 1-gallon can under the drain spout.
The G507 can use both water and solvent interchangeably to clean
guns using differing types of paint.
WARNING: Caution is advised when switching between the two
types of cleaning solutions. To prevent damage to the paint gun
(or the next paint job), please flush the cleaning nozzle with two
bursts of the new cleaning fluid---whether it is water or solvent, before
using on the paint gun. This rinse will eliminate any residual fluid,
preventing the accidental spraying of the wrong type of cleaning
into the paint gun. For example, when switching from solvent to
water, run two bursts of water through the nozzle. When switching
from water to solvent, run two bursts of solvent through the nozzle.

1) Place the paint channel of the paint gun under the cleaning nozzle.
Squeeze the trigger of the paint gun while pressing the paint gun
up against the nozzle to activate the pump. Allow the pump to run
for 10-15 seconds.

mounted brush.
