SPRAY GUN
1. Submerge the front end of the gun in solvent just until the
fluid connection is covered.
2. Paint that has built up on the gun should be removed using
a bristle brush and solvent.
3. Never submerge all of the spray gun in sol v ent be c ause:
• This will dissolve the lubricant in the packings and on
wear surfaces, causing them to dry out and resulting in
difficult operation and faster wear.
• Air passages in the gun will become clogged with dirty
solvent.
4. Using a rag moistened with solvent, wipe down the outside
of the gun.
5. Oil gun daily. Use a drop of lightweight machine oil on:
A. fluid needle packing
B. air valve packing
C. trigger pivot point
See Fig. 1 for Location
of above points.
6. NOTE: Do not soak rubber o-rings
or seals in paint thinner. O-rings
and seals can be wiped clean with
paint thinner but soaking can cause
these items to deteriorate over time.
7. Caution: Do not use lubricants which
contain sil i c one. Sil i c one may cause
defects in the finish ap p li c a t ion.
