CONTROLLING FAN SPRAY

Fan spray is controlled by the fan 
control knob (12). Turning this knob
clockwise until closed produces a
small, circular spray pattern. Turning
this knob counter-clockwise until open
widens the pattern to a fan shape.
Adjust the fan pattern to any angle by
changing the position of the air nozzle
assembly (1): loosen the retaining ring
on the air nozzle assembly and rotate
the air nozzle to the desired position,
and re-tighten the retaining ring.

CLEANING YOUR GUN

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GUN 
WITHOUT PRESSURE

1. Shut off air supply.
2. Trigger the gun to relieve 

pressure.

3. Remove siphon cup, empty it,

and rinse it out with solvent.

4. Turn the gun upside down and

pour solvent into the fluid inlet
(26).

5. Trigger the gun to allow solvent

to flow through it.

6. Clean inside the fluid inlet and

the fluid nozzle (2) using the gun
brush (28).

7. Clean the outside of the gun.
8. Repeat any step above until the

gun is clean.

9. Blow air through the gun until it

is dry.

9a.

OPTION:

Disconnect the gun from

the air hose and remove the air 

nozzle assembly (1) and fluid 
nozzle (2) if they need separate
cleaning. Remove the fluid needle
assembly (19) and wipe clean.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GUN 
UNDER PRESSURE

It has been customary in the industry
to clean paint guns by spraying sol-
vent through them under air pressure.
This cleaning method is less effective
than the steps previously described.

In addition, you may violate local air
quality regulations.

If you wish to clean the gun using
this method, we recommend one of
the following alternatives:

1. Spray solvent through the gun

into a closed system. An enclosed
unit or spray gun cleaning station
condenses and captures solvent
vapors, preventing the escape 
of VOCs.

2. Place the spray gun in a washer

type cleaner. The washer must
totally enclose the gun, nozzles
and other parts during washing,
rinsing and draining cycles. The
washer must be able to flush 
solvent through the gun without
releasing VOCs.

HOW TO LUBRICATE 
YOUR GUN

Lubricate your gun daily with Binks
Gunners Mate (54-3871).

Lubricate all moving parts, including
the trigger pivot point and the air
valve assembly (16).

HOW TO REPLACE THE AIR
VALVE ASSEMBLY (16)

1. Remove the fluid control knob

(20), blue spring (17), and fluid
needle assembly (19).

2. Unscrew the rear housing (18)

using a 5/16" hex wrench. Inside
the rear housing are a small
housing (14) and an o-ring (13).

3. Remove the second blue spring

(17).

4. Remove the air valve assembly

with the yellow spring (15), small
housing, and o-ring attached to it.

5. Lubricate new o-rings with Gunners

Mate if necessary.

6. Reassemble components.
7. Place the air valve assembly,

along with the yellow spring,
small housing, and o-ring into the
gun body. Make sure the o-ring
faces toward the front of the gun.

8. Place the blue spring on the back

side of the air valve assembly.

9. Place the small housing and the 

o-ring in the rear housing so that
when assembled, the o-ring faces
the back of the gun.

10. While the o-ring is positioned

properly, screw the rear housing
into the gun body and tighten.
Torque the rear housing to 
15-17 ft./lbs.

11. Replace the fluid needle assem-

bly, blue spring, and fluid control
knob.

NOTE

See the WARNING regarding paints,
solvents, and other coatings on 
page 2.

WARNING

Do not use air pressure to clean
your gun. The solvent will vaporize,
possibly causing personal injury.
Many paints and coatings contain
volatile chemicals that are a cause
of pollution and are a health and
fire hazard. Always wear appropri-
ate clothing, including gloves, eye 
protection, and a respirator when
using the gun.

!

WARNING

Spraying solvent under pressure
atomizes it and may release Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the
air, an action that is now prohibited
in many areas.

!

CAUTION

Never use anything metal to clean
the air nozzle assembly (1) or fluid
nozzle (2). These parts are precisely
machined, and any damage to them
will cause faulty spray patterns.
