MAINTENANCE
Lid Repair/Replacement:
1. To replace a damaged part, use a 5/16 inch Allen wrench to loosen
and remove adapter (1). The nut (2), yoke, cam (3) or lid and tube
assembly are now loose for replacement.
2. Replace damaged parts. The cam lever should be located on opposite
side of lid from valve (4).
3. Apply sealant (Loctite #262) to the first two full threads of adapter (1).
Insert threaded end of adapter into open end of nut (2).
4. Install adapter (1) and nut (2) in top of lid and tube assembly. Use a
5/16" Allen wrench to tighten firmly (10-12 foot pounds).
Valve and Lid Gasket Replacement:
1. To remove a damaged valve (4) or lid gasket (5), press on top of valve
until it breaks free. The valve pushes the lid gasket from the seat. The
lid gasket may now be removed from the lid. Continue pressing hard
on the valve to remove it from the lid.
2. Install replacement valve (4) through bottom of lid so that the valve
tab is toward center of lid. Snap in place. If necessary, use a plastic
mallet or screwdriver handle to tap the valve in place. Press the lid
gasket firmly in the lid using the end of a crescent wrench. Insert the
side with the black marks first.
CLEANING
General: For routine cleaning, it is not necessary to remove the lid
gasket. It is not necessary or desirable to remove the valve for any
cleaning procedure. The valve can be depressed from the outside to
assist in removal of the gasket for gasket replacement or when cleaning
dried paint from the channel. The valve should not be forced past the
shoulder which retains it in the lid except for replacement.
NOTE
The cam and mating surfaces on the lid and yoke normally
don't require removal for cleaning. Spraying some materials
containing PTFE or similar materials can necessitate more
frequent cleaning and possible disassembly of the cam. The
overspray containing PTFE can build up on the cam and
mating surfaces causing a condition where the cam may
loosen during use.
Air Pressure: Always clean with reduced air pressure. An air pressure
no greater than 15 to 20 psi will allow quick and thorough cleaning of
the cup and gun and at the same time will:
1. Minimize the amount of solvent atomized into the air.
2. Prevent possibility of damage to cup from excessive back pressure.
3. Reduce the force with which solvent is expelled from the vent.
SB-4-395-E (10/2014)
Cleaning Procedures:
1. Empty paint from cup and add small amount of clean solvent. The
amount required will vary with different coatings and solvents.
2. Shake cup to wash down inside surfaces. Then spray solvent at low
air pressure (15-20 psi) to flush out fluid passages.
3. Pour out solvent and add same amount of clean solvent.
4a. Again, shake cup. Loosen air cap. Hold a folded cloth over front of
gun and invert cup over solvent receptacle. Trigger with short bursts
to back flush vent channel. With valve in D/F position, solvent will
be expelled with force from the channel vent hole in lid.
Alternative to Step 4a:
4b. Shut off air to gun. With valve in D/F position, invert cup over solvent
receptacle. Trigger gun. Allow solvent to drip out channel vent hole
in lid for several seconds, or until clean solvent is seen.
5. Clean cam and mating surface on lid with a solvent soaked Scotch™
pad and blow dry. If cam loosening persists, removal of the yoke and
cam will be required for more thorough cleaning of these parts. Again,
use a solvent soaked Scotch™ pad for this purpose. Reassemble lid.
!
Do not probe through the channel vent hole at any time.
Do not probe through the valve slot hole while the valve is in
the D/F position. These holes are sealed by gasket (5) and
gasket damage could occur.
!
Cup assembly may also be cleaned with a gun washer.
Follow directions of gun washer manufacturer.
IMMERSION
Since all materials in the cup are highly solvent resistant, the cup assembly
may be immersed for cleaning. Immersion should not exceed 24 hours.
The use of paint strippers should be avoided because strippers will affect
the alum-inum as well as other non-metallic components. If the lid gasket
has become swollen from prolonged exposure to solvents, it will return to
its original size without loss of properties when allowed to dry.
