Maintenance

Perform the following maintenance procedures to keep your
HVLP spray gun working properly. New parts can be obtained
by ordering the HVLP Gun Repair Kit, part number 0524187.

adjusting the Packing Nut

If material leaks from around or through the packing nut, readjust
the packing nut.
1. Disconnect the air hose from the air inlet and remove the
cup assembly.
2. Pull the trigger all the way back and hold.
3. Tighten the packing nut using a 3/8 inch wrench until the
needle remains retracted inside the nozzle when you
release the trigger.
4. Loosen the packing nut slowly
until the needle moves freely
back into position in the
nozzle.
Once you have adjusted the nut,
reconnect the air hose and the cup
assembly. Squeeze the trigger to see
if the leaking has stopped. If it has
not, make sure the packing nut is as
tight as possible, while allowing the
needle to move freely. If adjusting
the packing nut does not stop the
leak, replace the packing.
