be checked after every use.

section of this manual, section 4.6.
2. Remove the six screws that secure the front shroud. Remove
the front shroud.
3. Unthread the filter housing (1) that is located underneath the
air motor shroud.
4. Remove and inspect the filter (2) inside the reservoir. If dirty,

position underneath the motor shroud.

Daily Maintenance
Two daily procedures are required for routine operator maintenance
on this sprayer:
A. Lubricating the upper packings.
B. Cleaning the inlet screen
A) Lubricating the upper Packings
1. Clean out the paint that has seeped past the upper packings
into the packing oil reservoir (fig. 15, item 1) above the fluid
section.
2. Fill the packing oil reservoir 1/2 full with Piston Lube (P/N 314-
480) supplied by the factory. This will extend packing life.

Do not over-fill the reservoir so that it overflows and
drips into the paint.
