- Purge the previously used Spetec Pump Cleaner from the pump. When a clear stream of solvent flows from the output hose direct the flow back into the solvent pail and recirculate for 2 -3 minutes.
- Purge Spetec Pump Cleaner from pump with low viscosity motor oil for storage. Retain this used solvent for recirculation or final flush sequence.
- Reusing Spetec Pump Cleaner: Spetec Pump Cleaner can be used multiple times.
- Dispose of Spetec Pump Cleaner properly once the material is too stained to see through.
