The pushout status indicates the status of the paint line pushout option. Table 1, " Pushout Status Items " lists the status items that are displayed.
For the AccuStat systems, pushout is performed during the canister fill cycle, not during the painting cycle. This is to conserve paint usage during the fill cycle. See Table 1, " Pushout Status Items " .
