Cleanup
Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure trouble-free operation. Flush the gun after each use
and store in a dry location. Do not leave the gun or any of its parts in water or solvents.
Special cleanup instructions for
use with flammable solvents:
•
Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one hose length from spray pump.
•
If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal container, place it into an empty five gallon
container, then flush solvents.
•
Area must be free of flammable vapors.
•
Follow all cleanup instructions.
The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake,
seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
Attention
Always spray at minimum pressure with the tip and tip guard removed when using
mineral spirits or any other solvent to clean the sprayer, hose, or gun. Static
electricity buildup may result in a fire or explosion in the presence of flammable
vapors. Hold the gun firmly against a metal container while flushing.
Maintenance
Follow all safety precautions as described
in the Safety Precautions section of this
manual before proceeding.

Refer to the Parts List section in this manual for part identification.
Replacing/Servicing the Seal Assembly
If the spray gun leaks or spits at the tip when the trigger is released, the seal assembly is worn,
damaged, or dirty and must be replaced or cleaned.
Never attempt to perform maintenance
on the spray gun without first performing
the "Pressure Relief Procedure."
1.
Disconnect the airless spray hose from the gun.
2.
Place one wrench on the gun head fitting and another wrench on the rear fitting of the
extension pole. Turn the entire extension pole to unthread it from the gun head fitting. Make
sure the fitting on the extension pole does not move during its removal.
Do not try to remove either of the fittings on the
extension pole. Movement of these fittings will
break the factory seal and cause the gun to leak.
Attention
3.
Carefully remove the entire extension pole to expose the shaft and ball holder. Make sure the
fitting on the extension pole does not move during removal of the extension pole.
4.
Place a locking pliers on the shaft as close as possible to the seal assembly. While holding
the seal assembly in place with a wrench, unthread the shaft from the seal assembly using the
locking pliers.
5.
Remove the trigger guard.
a.
Pull the back of the trigger guard down so that it comes loose from the swivel assembly on
the handle.
b.
Twist the front of the trigger guard out of the slot in the gun head.
