PERIODIC CLEAN-UP
Due to improper cleaning and paint 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 fluid 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
(See Figure 5). Do not over-tighten
a packing nut because this will
restrict movement of the needle.
6. Re-assemble in reverse order of
above and use a non-silicone oil on
moving parts. Apply Vaseline
light grease on threaded joints and
hose connections.
