Cleanup
Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure
trouble-free operation. Flush the gun after
each use and store in a dry location. Do not
leave the gun or any of its parts in water or
solvents.
Special cleanup instructions for
use with flammable solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside
and at least one hose length from spray
pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one
gallon metal container, place it into an
empty five gallon container, then flush
solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
Attention
The sprayer, hose, gun and
gun filter should be cleaned
thoroughly after daily use.
Failure to do so permits material
to cake, seriously affecting the
performance of the unit.
Always spray at the lowest
possible pressure when the
tip and tip guard have been
removed. To clean the airless gun,
hose and spray device, use only
water or a suitable solvent. Static
electricity buildup may result in a
fire or explosion in the presence
of flammable vapors. Hold
the gun firmly against a metal
container while flushing.
Maintenance
Follow all safety precautions as described in
the Safety Precautions section of this manual
before proceeding.

Replacing/Servicing the Seal Assembly
If your spray gun leaks or spits at the tip when
you release the trigger, replace the ball valve
located on the packing seal assembly and
reverse the seat located in the diffuser.
To replace the ball, order kit P/N 0538221 and
follow the instructions included with the kit.
The entire packing seal assembly can also
be replaced (less often than the ball valve).
Follow the instructions below.
Never attempt to perform
maintenance on the spray gun
without first performing the
“Pressure Relief Procedure.”
1. Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure”
and disconnect the fluid hose from the
gun.
2. Remove the end cap (1) and the packing
spring (2) from the rear of the gun head.
3. Using a 3/8” socket, remove the packing
seal assembly (3) from the rear of the gun
head.
