Applies to: Smith Performance S103EX Stainless Steel Compression Sprayer (Model 190468), acetone compatible
What causes this: Acetone and other chemicals can leave residue that degrades seals and clogs passages if the sprayer is not flushed after each use.
How to fix it:
- After every use, depressurize the tank and empty any remaining chemical.
- Rinse the tank with clean water.
- Add approximately 1 quart of clean water, pressurize, and flush through the hose, shut-off, wand, and nozzle until water runs clear.
- For heavy buildup, use warm water with mild detergent, let sit up to 1 hour, then rinse thoroughly.
- Store the sprayer empty and depressurized.
