Conversion and repair
If a jet contour other than those already described is desired, the spray gun has to
be re-tooled. Air cap, material nozzle and needle packing together form a unit - the
nozzle insert assembly. Always change the complete insert assembly to maintain the
desired spray finish quality.
Warning
Prior to any repairs/replacements: Make sure that the spray gun is in unpressurized
condition, i.e. air must be shut off - if not, imminent Risk of Injury.
Note
In order to perform the following procedures, please refer to the exploded diagram at
the beginning of these operating instructions.
Replacement of the material nozzle and the air cap
1.
Unscrew the air cap nut (N° 1).
2.
Remove the air cap (N° 2).
3.
Unscrew the nozzle (N° 3) (ws 12) from the gun body (N° 4).
When mounting the nozzle, the material needle should be in a flashed condition.
Reassemble in reverse order.
Replacement of the material needle
1.
Unscrew the spring bushing (N° 18).
2.
Remove the needle spring (N° 17).
3.
Pull the material needle (N° 16) out of the gun body.
Reassemble in reverse order.
For correct initial air adjustment the needle has to be set at 53 mm (Gravity-
feed cup) and 73,5 mm (Material Connection) measured from the tip to the
driving gland. Secure with high-strength threadlocker!
Replacement of the needle seal
1.
Disassemble the needle as described above.
2.
Remove the needle packing gland (N° 6).
3.
Unscrew the lever shank screw (N° 19) and the lever screw (N° 21) and remove
the trigger (N° 20).
4.
Remove the needle seal (N° 5) (Use a thin wire, one end of which is bent into a
hook, for this purpose).
Reassemble in reverse order.
Note
Never reinstall a used needle seal, as otherwise the functional sealing reliability of
the spray gun will not be guaranteed.
Note
All sliding and moveable parts (except the material needle!) must be lubricated with
a non-acidic, non-resinogenic grease prior to installation.
