• Don't arc strokes, move the gun
parallel to work.
Your pattern should normally be
shaped like this.
If not, see Troubleshooting guide,

Thoroughly clean the spray gun after
each use.
1. Turn off air supply, and remove cup
from lid.
2. Empty the material from cup and
rinse with a clean solvent (thinner).
3. Fill cup with solvent and attach to
the lid.
NOTE: Always clean with reduced
air pressure. An air pressure no
greater than 15 to 20 PSI will allow
quick and thorough cleaning of the
cup and gun.
4. Turn on the air supply and spray
solvent through the spray gun.
While spraying, shake the gun up
and down to remove all excess
material from the lid. Repeat Steps
1-4 above with a clean solvent until
all traces of material are removed.
5. Turn off air supply to gun.
6. To clean the vent orifice and
interior of shroud the lid assembly
must be disassembled and wiped
with solvent. This is easily
accomplished by unscrewing the
shroud retaining sleeve. When re-
assembling, orient the fluid pick-up
tube bend away from the handle,
then tighten the shroud retaining
sleeve (25) hand tight.
7. Wipe the outside of the spray gun
and cup with a solvent soaked
MAINTENANCE
cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE THE
GUN IN SOLVENT -- THIS WILL
WASH OUT THE LUBRICANTS
AND DRY OUT PACKINGS.
8. To clean the air cap and fluid tip,
remove them (see Air Caps page
4), soak in suitable solvent and
wipe clean with a clean cloth. If the
holes are plugged, use a wooden
toothpick to remove any material
particles. NEVER use a needle or
any other metal object as this may
damage the holes and result in
imperfect spray patterns. When re-
assembling the fluid tip, take care
not to overtighten (160-200 in.lbs.
torque is recommended) or cross
thread the fluid tip into the gun
body.
NOTE: If water is used as a solvent
to clean the gun, spray paint
thinner or mineral spirits through
the gun after cleaning to remove
any excess moisture and protect
parts.
After cleaning the spray gun, apply a
few drops of light household oil to the
fluid needle (9) next to the packing
retainer (14), on the threads of the air
valve assembly (6) and that part of the
valve stem (7) which protrudes from
the gun body. All springs should be
given a coating of light grease
periodically.
• Hold the gun perpendicular to the
surface, 6" to 8" distance.
• Follow contour.
• Overlap each stroke 50%.
• Ends are feathered by triggering.
That is, begin stroke before pulling
trigger and releasing just before
ending the stroke.
• Spray edges and corners first. This
will reduce overspray while
providing good coverage on
corners.
