Gland Washers (16) prevent leakage of air pass the needle. This leakage reduces the performance of the spray gun
and must, therefore, be kept to a minimum. After a period of use the gland washers will wear. This is normal and can
be compensated by gradual adjustment of the Gland Nut (15).
Periodically check to ensure the Gland Nut (15) is not loose. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN as this will increase wear of
the washers. When necessary just tighten the nut lightly using the special Spanner (27) provided.
By tightening the nut, the inside diameter of gland washers reduce thereby closing any small gap that may have
occurred between the needle and gland washers, therefore, eliminating leakage.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
The turbine unit only requires minimal maintenance:
• Ensure its Filter (28) element is kept clean at all times.
This is the filter underneath the main body of the turbine. Disconnect the unit from the power supply, turn on side
and remove foam material. This can be washed out if necessary and replaced when dry. From time to time this
filter will need replacing (Part No. L0058).
• The turbine bearings are sealed and lubricated for life. There is no maintenance or adjustment required.
• Clean the turbine and hose unit with a damp cloth after use.
• The hose is stowed by coiling it between the motor housing and hose cover.
• The supply cord is stowed by wrapping around the base of the unit and locating the plug in the space at the back
of the unit.

Air intake blocked
Check no paper or loose debris can block the air
intake underneath the unit. Replace Filter (28) if
necessary (Part No. L0058).
After cleaning your spray gun and before fitting the needle, dip the tip into some petroleum jelly which will lubricate
Gland Washers (16) as the Needle (9) is inserted. The external surfaces of the spray gun can be wiped clean with a
cloth soaked in thinners.
