Notice:
parts of your sprayer wear out with use and
require regular replacement. They include
the atomizer valve, piston and spring. These
parts are not covered by your sprayer
warranty.
More abrasive materials such as latex paints
and stains cause these parts to wear out
faster than less abrasive materials such as
oil-based paints and stains, thin stains and
sealers.
Atomizer valve:
The atomizer valve is shaped to cause the material to spin as it comes out
of the sprayer. The spinning breaks the material up into a fine spray. As
more material goes through the atomizer valve, it wears out the valve and
the shape of the valve changes. When it changes too much to produce a
good spray pattern, the valve needs to be replaced.

Piston and Spring:
The average life of a piston and spring will vary depending on the types of
material being sprayed.
Replace the piston if the sprayer takes longer than 15 seconds with the
suction tube to prime when well lubricated, or if there is an excess amount
of material leaking, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions listed in this
manual. Replace the spring if you notice that it is broken when you clean
the sprayer.
To replace either the atomizer valve or the piston and spring, follow
steps 7-10 in Cleaning - oil based materials
(page 12), and replace
the old parts with new ones. When replaced, follow steps 1-4 in
Reassembly
(page 14).
