LEAKAGE FROM THE NOZZLE

 

This occurs when the Needle Packing Nut 10-2086 is 

too tight 

compressing the  

Needle Packing 10-2085 too tightly around the needle.

 

Half fill the cup with water. Attach the gun to the hose and turn on the turbine  

blower to pressurize the cup. Pull the trigger and release. Check the nozzle for  

water spurting out.

 

Use the supplied wrench to 

GENTLY 

loosen the nut (1 or 2 degrees only at a time).  

This is a very sensitive adjustment. 

Again pull the trigger and release. Wipe away 

the water in between adjustments. Repeat until no water is seen at the nozzle hole.

away the water in between adjustments. Repeat until no water is seen where the 

needle passes through the Needle Packing Nut 10-2086.

 

It is a good idea to apply light machine oil or Vaseline to the needle shaft where  

it passes through the needle packing nut and work it in and out by pulling the  

trigger back and forth. This will lubricate the Needle Packing 10-2085.
