stop slot and with the gun upside down, pull back the trigger and apply oil to 
the inlet tube.

Remove all excess oil with a clean 
cloth.

When re-assembling the gun after 
cleaning, adjust the trigger on the 
inlet tube, so that the nozzle protrudes 
1/6” past the nose piece when the 
trigger is in the fully forward position, or 
it will not seat properly. (The small 
hexagonal wrench is provided for this 
purpose). Check that the front of the 
orifice plate bears against the front of 
the gun to avoid any leaks at this 
point.

If leaks are observed around the gun body, replace the gaskets shown on 
pages 10 & 11. If this is not successful, use sealant between the two halves of 
the gun body to prevent leakage.

CAUTION:

 Never use silicon based lubricants as this may cause damage to the 

paint finish.

Do not overtighten components, and be careful not to cross thread any parts 
on re-assembly.

Please be aware that certain parts of this spray gun will wear, requiring 
replacement and that these parts may not be covered by your guarantee. 
The wear on certain parts depends on the abrasive nature of the materials 
being sprayed. More abrasive materials such as latex paint (emulsions) will 
cause these parts to wear much faster.

Use only Clarke replacement parts, available from your nearest Clarke dealer.
