CLEANING THE REMOTE PICK UP COMPONENTS
Run an appropriate thinners through the tube until it is clean. Disassemble the fittings at both ends
before any remaining paint dries, and thoroughly clean the remote pick up tube, suction tube and filter.
GENERAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
After every use it is essential that you clean the spray gun thoroughly. This will prevent any blockages
occuring and provide consistant performance when you next come to use it.
When you have finished spraying, empty any remaining material out of the paint container and clean it
thoroughly using the thinners used for the last job.
Rinse the spray gun container with the thinners used for the last job and spray through the gun onto
cardboard or newspaper, and follow the instructions below.
REMEMBER - DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE THINNERS

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Please be aware that certain parts of this spray gun will wear, requiring replacement and that these
parts are not covered by guarantee. These parts include the valve, spray nozzle, piston and spring. The
wear on these parts depends on the abrasiveness of the materials being sprayed. The more abrasive
materials such as latex paint (emulsions) will cause these parts to wear much faster. You would
normally expect to replace an atomiser valve after spraying between 25-45 litres of latex.
A worn valve will cause a poor spray pattern and will require replacing. Replacement valves are
available from the Earlex Service Department.
You will need to check the spray nozzles, piston and spring from time to time to check for wear
.
Replace if necessary.
NEVER DISPOSE OF PAINTS OR SOLVENTS INTO DRAINS. CONTACT
YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL TO ARRANGE COLLECTION.
