MAINTENANCE
It is essential that the spray gun is kept clean. Dried paint in the nozzle
assembly or airways will stop the gun from working. For the gun to perform at
its best it must be thoroughly cleaned after every use.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. After use, empty any remaining paint from the paint container, wipe the
container clean with a dry, lint free rag, and fill with thinner. Spray the
thinners through the spray gun until it is clean.
2. Residue from dirty solvent may clog the narrow air passages in the gun. Use
a cleaning brush and solvent to wash off accumulated paint.
3. Wipe down the outside of the gun with a solvent dampened cloth.
• DO NOT poke any of the holes in the air cap or nozzle with metal
instruments. These holes are precision drilled and can be damaged
by probing with anything harder than a wooden toothpick.
4. Make sure that the air inlet vent to the paint container is kept clean.
Blockages in this vent will prevent an even material flow through the gun.
• Component parts of spray guns are supplied in matched sets and
should only be used together.
• Do not overtighten components, and be careful not to cross thread
any parts on assembly.
• Never use silicon based lubricants as this may cause paint finish
defects.
5. Check the air supply hose regularly for any signs of damage and replace it
if necessary. Do not use damaged or leaking hoses.
6. Finally, empty the spray gun and dry all components thoroughly. Store in a
clean, dry place.
