1. Immerse only the
front end of the gun
until solvent just
covers the fluid
connection.
2. Use a bristle brush
and solvent to wash
off accumulated paint.
3. Do not submerge the
entire spray gun in
solvent because:
a. the lubricant in the leather packings will dissolve and the
packings will dry out.
b. the lubricant at wear surfaces will dissolve causing harder
operation and faster wear.
c. residue from dirty solvent may clog the narrow air
passages in the gun.
4. Wipe down the outside of the gun with solvent-dampened rag.
5. Lubricate gun daily. Use a light machine oil on:
a. fluid needle packing.
b. air valve packing.
c. side port control packing.
d. trigger pivot point.
Coat the fluid control spring with vaseline.

1. All nozzles and needles are precision made. They should be
handled with care.
2. Do not make any alterations in the gun. To do so could cause
finishing difficulties.
3. To clean nozzles, soak them in solvent to dissolve any dried
material, then blow them clean with air.
4. Do not probe any of the holes in the nozzles with metal
instruments. If probing is necessary, use only a tool that is
softer than brass.
Caution
never use lubricants containing silicone since these lubricants
can cause finish defects.

all parts on a spray gun should be screwed in hand tight at
first; this will avoid the possibility of cross threading the
parts. If the parts can not be turned by hand easily, make
sure you have the correct parts, unscrew, realign, and try
again. neveR use undue force in mating parts.
When Used With Siphon Cup
A compatible thinner or solvent should
be siphoned through gun by inserting
tube in open container of that liquid.
Trigger gun repeatedly to flush
passageway thoroughly and to clean
tip of needle.
When local codes prohibit spraying of
thinner or solvent, use a gun washer to
clean spray guns.
When Used With Pressure Tank
Shut off air supply to tank and release
pressure on tank. Open vent and loosen
air nozzle. Hold a piece of cloth over
the air nozzle and squeeze trigger. Air
will back up through fluid nozzle, and
force fluid out of hose into tank. Next,
put enough thinner into tank to wash
hose and gun thoroughly. Spray thinner
through the gun until it is clean. Attach
fluid hose to air line and blow it out
thoroughly to remove all traces of
materials and to dry it.
