What happens here

To prepare the sprayer for paint, begin by priming it with clean water. Place the sprayer's uptake tube into a bucket filled with clean water. Ensure the prime knob on the sprayer is set to the 'prime' position (all the way down). Turn on the sprayer using the on/off switch. Allow the pump to run, which will draw the clean water through the system. This process serves two main purposes: it purges any air that might be in the lines and flushes out any residual old paint or debris from previous uses. Continue to run the sprayer until you observe clean water flowing consistently from the prime outlet, and there are no visible air bubbles. This indicates that the system is free of air and thoroughly cleaned.

Goal: Purge air and clean any residue from the sprayer lines using water.
