SPRAY GUN
●
Keep the internal workings of the spray gun clean. The spray gun should be thoroughly
cleaned after each use. Follow the cleaning instructions on page 8 with reference to the
exploded parts view on page 3.
●
Check the needle and fluid tip on a regular basis for excessive wear, and replace as necessary.
See cleaning instructions for the correct procedure for removing these parts. Replacement
needle sets are available from Earlex Ltd.
●
Keep all moving parts lubricated with a light smear of petroleum jelly.
●
Lubricate the Gland Washers (16) with a light smear of petroleum jelly each time after
cleaning.
●
Check there is no leakage from the Gland Washers (16). If there is, tighten the Gland Nut (15)
a little to ensure a seal with the Fluid Needle (9). Do not over-tighten this nut. Also, ensure the
gland washers have not dried out. If they have, lubricate as above.
TURBINE UNIT
●
Check the condition of the Filter elements (item 4, Fig.2) that are housed in the front cover.
These are easily removed by sliding the cover upwards. If clogged, remove and blow out using
an airline or wash out using a mild detergent if necessary.
●
Keep the outer surface of the air hose free from harmful substances such as petrol, automotive-
coating thinners, paint strippers and oil. Prolonged exposure to such substances may cause
irreparable damage. Always check and clean off any excess immediately.
●
Check the condition of the power cord regularly. If there are any cuts or serious abrasions to the
outer sheath, replace the power cord immediately. When the unit is not in use, keep the power
cord coiled round the brackets at the back of the turbine case. When the unit is being used
protect the power cord and any extension cord from damage that could be caused, for example,
by traffic or hazardous substances.
The turbine unit can only be fully serviced by authorised service agents.
