CLEANING YOUR GRAVITY MICROFLEX SPRAY GUN
Spray gun performance is directly related to how well it is cleaned after each use.
This is particularly true for the small orifices in the MicroFlex.
WARNING!
Always de-pressurize system prior to any maintenance or disassembly procedure.
Disconnect all air and fluid hoses prior to performing any maintenance operation.
1. Run or pump solvent through the gun to
completely remove paint from the fluid
chamber. Flush passages thoroughly, as
brushes or other devices will not reach most
parts of the fluid chamber.
Note:
The Fluid
Hose provided is not designed for repeated
detachment and reattachment to the Hose
Barb or Spray Head. If flushing with solvent
cannot clear a clogged Fluid Hose, replace
the Fluid Hose.
2. Wipe the Handle and Needle (GG-014)
clean with solvent and a clean soft cloth.
Use caution to avoid damaging or bending
the needle. Re-lubricate the needle with
Vaseline.
3. Unscrew the Pattern Control Ring (GG-001)
from the Spray Head Assembly to separate
the Adapter Collar (MFG-002) from the
Spray Head Assembly exposing the Fluid
Hose (MF-010).
4. With the wrench provided, remove the
Needle Seat (MFG-3006) from the Spray
Head Assembly. Use caution to avoid
damaging or bending the Hose Barb (MF-
012). Be careful not to lose the Anti-Friction
Washers (MF-003).
5. Unscrew the Hose Barb from the Needle
Seat. Clean the Needle Seat with brush
provided.
6. Unscrew the MicroFlex Air Cap (MF-202 or
MF-203) and clean with solvent ensuring all
passages are absolutely clean.
7. Unscrew the MicroFlex Spray Head (MF-
200) from the Flexible Extension (MF-008).
8. Clean the MicroFlex Spray Head (MF-200)
with solvent ensuring all passages are clean
and free of obstructions. Use caution to
avoid damaging or bending the fluid nozzle
tip.
9. Use the round brush supplied to clean
Needle Packings (GG-024).
10. Inspect to make certain that all paint residue
has been removed from the fluid chambers
in the Spray Head Assembly.
11. Wipe all parts dry with a clean cloth before
reassembling.
