HOW TO WINTERIZE

AND STORE YOUR AIRLESS

BECAUSE OF THE NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES WE FACE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA , IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY STORE YOUR AIRLESS SPRAYER FOR THE WINTER MONTHS.

FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP FLUID SECTION

HERE AT BENNY'S SPRAY CENTER WE CAME UP WITH AN INEXPENSIVE TONIC TO HELP YOU EASILY STORE YOUR PUMP.

JUST FOLLOW THE 5 STEPES BELOW TO STORE YOUR EQUIPMENT PROPERLY.

BENNY’S “SECRET TONIC”

1. WHEN FINISHED PAINTING, RUN CLEAN WATER THROUGH THE MACHINE UNTIL ALL THE PAINT IS FLUSHED AND CLEAN

2. SUBMERGE GUN INTO WATER BUCKET AND SPRAY ALL PAINT FROM THE HOSE AND GUN UNTIL CLEAN WATER IS COMING OUT.

3. MIX TOGETHER IN A CLEAN BUCKET:

· 1 QUART OF MOTOR OIL (ANY WEIGHT)

· 1 GALLON OF PAINT THINNER

(KEEP EXTRA THINNER FOR FLUSHING SYSTEM LATER)

4. PLACE SUCTION TUBE INTO THE TONIC AND PRIME THROUGH MACHINE UNTIL ALL WATER IS REMOVED AND THE “SECRET TONIC” IS COMING OUT OF THE RETURN HOSE. SWITCH UNIT FROM PRIME TO SPRAY WITH OR WITHOUT A AIRLESS HOSE ATTACHED ONCE MATERIAL HAS PASSED THROUGH THE LINE OR FITTING OF UNIT TURN UNIT OFF LEAVING THE P/S VALVE IN SPRAY MODE.

5. TAKE PLASTIC BAGGIES AND TAPE THEM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SUCTION TUBE AND RETURN HOSE. THEN GET 1/4 FITTING TO SCREW ONTO THE HOSE CONNETION LOCATED ON YOUR UNIT WHERE YOU TOOK YOUR LINE OFF TO STOP LEAKAGE OF TONIC

THE PAINT THINNER SOLUTION WILL EVAPORATE, THE MOTOR OIL WILL BE LEFT IN THE SYSTEM AND WILL KEEP THE METAL COMPONENTS OF YOUR FLUID SECTION LUBRICATED. THE OIL WILL KEEP THE FLUID SECTION FROM FREEZING IN THE WINTER MONTHS AND RUSTING WHEN NOT IN USE.

*** TO USE YOUR UNIT JUST FLUSH SYSTEM WITH PAINT THINNER AND THEN LOTS OF WATER, YOUR ALL READY TO GO .***
