Why Regular Cleaning is Crucial

Your airless sprayer is an important investment, and regular maintenance will prolong its life and ensure optimal performance. Paint and other materials can harden inside the hoses, gun, and pump, leading to clogging or reduced pressure.

By cleaning your sprayer after each use, you prevent these issues, keeping your sprayer ready for your next job and saving on costly repairs.

Detailed Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

1. Safety First: Lock the Gun and Power Off the Sprayer

Before starting, make sure the spray gun is locked to prevent accidental spraying. Turn off and unplug the sprayer to ensure safe handling.

Pro Tip: Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your sprayer. The chemicals in paint and cleaning solutions can be harmful to your skin and eyes.

2. Relieve the Pressure

To safely relieve the pressure:

Reverse the spray tip to its cleaning position.

Unlock the gun, hold the metal part of the gun against a metal container to prevent static buildup, and squeeze the trigger to release any remaining pressure.

Once done, lock the trigger.

Pro Tip: Holding the gun against a metal container helps prevent electrical buildup, which can be dangerous, especially when working with solvent-based materials.

3. Switch to Prime Mode

Turn the prime valve to the prime position. This allows any remaining paint to be flushed out of the system, preparing it for cleaning.

4. Remove and Clean the Spray Tip and Guard

Detach the spray tip and guard from the spray gun. Clean these parts thoroughly using a brush and an appropriate cleaning solution (use water for water-based paints, or mineral spirits for oil-based paints).

Pro Tip: Regularly cleaning the spray tip helps prevent clogs and ensures an even spray pattern during future use.

5. Clean the Siphon Tube and Return Hose

Remove the siphon tube and return hose from the paint container and wipe off any excess paint with a cloth.

Place the siphon tube into a bucket of cleaning solution and the return hose into a metal waste container.

Pro Tip: Avoid using plastic containers for solvent-based cleaning fluids, as they may degrade over time.

6. Flush the System

With the tubes in place:

Turn the prime valve to the "spray" position.

Point the spray gun into a waste bucket, pull the trigger, and turn on the sprayer.

Gradually increase the pressure until the cleaning solution begins to flow through the system.

Pro Tip: Flushing with water or solvent removes any remaining paint or debris in the hoses and pump.

7. Repeat Flushing with Clean Solution

Move the spray gun to the cleaning solution container and pull the trigger. Flush the system again until the fluid coming through is clear.

Pro Tip: Running the cleaning solution through multiple cycles ensures that all paint residue is removed from the system.

8. Final Pressure Release and Flushing

Once the solution runs clear, turn off the sprayer and release the gun trigger. Set the prime valve back to "prime," then turn the sprayer on again to circulate the cleaning solution until the fluid is fully clear.

Pro Tip: Always circulate cleaning fluid until all visible paint has been flushed out.

9. Expel Fluid from the Hose

Lift the siphon tube out of the cleaning solution, position it above the liquid, and switch the sprayer back to "spray" mode. Pull the trigger and expel the remaining fluid from the hose into a waste bucket.

10. Power Down and Clean the Filters

Turn off the sprayer, unplug it, and reduce the pressure to its lowest setting. Remove the filters from both the spray gun and the sprayer and soak them in cleaning solution. Scrub gently with a brush and inspect for signs of damage.

Pro Tip: Regularly cleaning and inspecting the filters helps prevent clogs and ensures a smooth spray pattern.

11. Final Wipe Down

Wipe down the sprayer, gun, and hose with a rag soaked in water or mineral spirits, depending on the type of paint you used. Store the sprayer in a dry, safe place for optimal performance.

Pro Tip: Keeping your equipment clean helps prevent rust and corrosion, which can impact the sprayer’s longevity.

Extra Maintenance Tip:

Protect Your Sprayer Between Uses

If you used water to clean the sprayer, it's a good idea to flush it with mineral spirits afterward. This step will coat the internal components with a protective layer, preventing rust, freezing, and corrosion, especially during colder months.

Conclusion

Following these steps will ensure your HVBAN airless sprayer remains in excellent condition, ready for your next project. Proper maintenance not only extends the life of your equipment but also guarantees peak performance for every spray job.
