"Pressure Relief Procedure."
1. Perform the "Pressure Relief Procedure"
and disconnect the fluid hose from the
gun.
2. Remove the end cap and the packing
spring from the rear of the gun head.
3. Using a 3/8" socket, remove the packing
seal assembly from the rear of the gun
head.
4. Soak the removed parts in the
appropriate solvent and wipe clean.

use new parts during reassembly of the
gun, when necessary.

i
parts before reassembly with a
lithium-based grease.

the gun head are still in the correct
position.
