Maintenance (Continued)
4. Put enough solvent into the tank to
wash the hose and gun thoroughly.
Close the tank and spray from the
gun until the solvent comes out
clean.
5. Remove and blow out the material
hose with compressed air to get rid
of any trace of solvent in the hose.
When blowing out
the hose, the open
end should be aimed away from any
person to avoid blowing solvent into
the eyes or on the skin causing possible
injury.
PERIODIC CLEAN-UP
Due to dirty, lumpy paint etc., it may
be necessary to inspect and clean the
internal parts and the gun body.
1. Examine openings in air cap and
fluid tip. If clogged, remove any
o-rings and soak the air cap or fluid
tip in solvent.
2. A brush or toothpick or something
similar may be used to dislodge the
dried paint from holes and passages.
NEVER USE METAL OBJECTS
TO CLEAN PRECISELY DRILLED
PASSAGES. DAMAGED PASSAGES
WILL CAUSE IMPROPER
SPRAYING.
3. Remove and check the adjusting
needle for excessive wear at the tip
and straightness.
IMPORTANT: If the needle tip is worn
more on one side than the other, either
the needle is bent or the gun body
has been dropped or knocked out-of-
line. There are no adjustments that
can be made to a bent gun body. Test
the needle by rolling on a flat surface.
Replace if necessary.

4. Check and replace any damaged
o-rings and seals. o-rings and seals
can be wiped clean but not soaked
in solvent.
5. Unscrew packing nuts and replace
the packing ONLY if a leak will not
stop when the nut is tightened.
Do not over-tighten a packing nut
because this will restrict movement
of the needle.
6. Reassemble in reverse order of these
steps and use a non-silicone oil on
moving parts. Apply Vaseline
light grease on threaded joints and
hose connections.
STORING
1. When not using spray gun, turn the
fluid control knob counterclockwise
to open reducing spring tension on
needle fluid tip.
2. Spray gun MUST BE well cleaned and
lightly lubricated.
