CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
SPRAY GUN
1. Submerge the front end of the gun in solvent just until the fluid connection is covered.
2. Paint that has built up on the gun should be removed using a bristle brush and solvent.
3. Never submerge all of the spray gun in solvent. This will dissolve the lubricant in the leather packing
and on wear surfaces, causing them to dry out and resulting in difficult operation and faster wear. Air
passages in the gun will become clogged with dirty solvent.
4. Using a rag moistened with solvent, wipe down the outside of the gun.
5. Oil gun daily. Use a drop of lightweight machine oil on:
A. External Needle Pack Adjustment (Packing Nut)
B. Trigger Pivot Point
See FIGURE 1 on page 3 for location of above points.
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 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 dry hose.
