What happens here

After completing the painting task, it's essential to clean the sprayer immediately. First, remove the Rack X guard and the spray tip from the gun. Place the spray gun hose into a bucket of clean water. Also, transfer the prime hose from the paint bucket into the same clean water bucket. Turn on the sprayer at a low pressure setting. Alternate between pulling the spray gun's trigger to flush water through the gun and activating the prime hose to run water through its line. Continue this process until only clear water (free of paint residue) comes out of both the gun and the prime tube.

Goal: Remove all paint from the sprayer and hoses.
