Maintenance

Always shut off air pressure
at source and bleed off all
pressure in paint tank by
gently pulling safety valve ring before
loosening knobs to remove lid.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT: 

It is very important that

the tank material hose and spray gun
be cleaned as soon as the spray job is
completed.

1.  Shut off air tank at air pressure

regulator by turning adjusting
screw counterclockwise.

2. Gently pull safety valve ring to

purge air from tank.

3. Completely cover spray gun nozzle

with a soft rag and with air lines
pressurized, pull trigger of the gun.
This will force paint remaining in
the material hose back into the
tank.

4. Remove tank lid and pour any

remaining paint back into original
containers for future use.

5. Using a clean, dry cloth, wipe inside

area of tank clean.

Never
use this

paint tank with materials which
contain trichloroethane, chlorinated
hydrocarbons, nitrohydrocarbons,
esters, amines, or organic compounds.
These materials will damage the gasket
between the paint tank and lid. A
damaged gasket may cause injury and
will reduce the efficiency of the paint
tank.

6. Pour about 1/2 gallon of paint

solvent into the tank. Use the
correct type of solvent for the paint
being used: mineral spirits for oil
base paint, lacquer thinner for
lacquer base paints, warm soap
water for Latex, etc.

7. Clamp lid onto tank and proceed to

spray the proper solvent through
spray gun and hose.

8. Following steps 1 through 9 in this

section, remove all thinner from
hose.

9. Clean lip of tank groove of paint

tank lid and gasket.

CLEANING THE SAFETY VALVE

Remove the safety valve and clean port
(orifice) periodically. Accumulations of
paint in the port can prevent proper
valve action. Do not disassemble valve
or change settings.

This

component has been factory calibrated
and sealed. Do not attempt to
disassemble safety valve or alter
calibration.

ROUTINE

Periodically inspect the tank for leaks
around the paint tank lid. If leakage
occurs, remove the pint tank lid and
clean lip of tank and groove in tank lid.
Replace gasket.
