Spray Gun Care and Cleaning
Note: Your spray gun may be made
from aluminum and may contain
aluminum components. Certain
solvents containing Methylene
Chloride and Tricloromethane are not
chemically compatible with aluminum.
Read, understand and follow all
safety statements as well as wear
appropriate, approved personal
protective equipment per the
applicable MSDS and material
container labels for cleaning solutions.
You must lubricate the moving
components after every cleaning of the
spray gun. Cleaning washes away the
lubricants that protect the friction points.
Use an appropriate lubricant such as
petroleum jelly.

Do not immerse the spray gun in solvent.
Do not wipe the spray gun with a cloth
soaked in solvent; wring out the excess.
Do not use metal tools to clean the air
cap holes as this may scratch them;
scratches can distort the spray pattern.
General System Maintenance
Relieve the pressure from the spray
gun and cup before servicing.
1. Turn off the air supply to the spray gun.
2. Disconnect air line from the spray gun.
3. When using a 3M™ PPS™ cup, pull
the trigger and invert spray gun
(fully open, not partially) to return
unused material to spray gun cup.
