Always exercise extreme care when using any solvent
or thinner. Never clean gun near fire, flame, or any
source of heat or sparks. Properly dispose of used cleaning materials.
DO NOT soak entire spray gun in solvent or thinner for
a long period of time as this will destroy lubricants and
possibly make motion uneven. NEVER use lye or caustic alkaline solu-
tion for cleaning. Such solutions will attack aluminum alloy parts of
gun.
It is important that spray gun be cleaned after daily use. Cleaning is accom-
plished by spraying appropriate solvent or thinner through system.
Cleaning
NOTE: Clean gun immediately after use. Paint and other materials dry
quickly in the small passages.
1. Turn off air supply to gun.
2. Loosen the material cup and remove the fluid tube from the material. Hold
the tube over the cup and pull the trigger to allow the paint to drain back
into the cup.
When using with pressure cup: See manufacturer’s manual for suggested
cleaning of remote cup or tank.
3. Empty material from material cup and replace with a suitable solvent. If
using water based material use mineral spirits to prevent corrosion.
4. Turn air supply on and operate trigger until all material traces have disap-
peared and gun is thoroughly clean.
IMPORTANT: Do not immerse the gun in solvent, this will cause damage to
the packings.
NOTE: Always comply with local codes when disposing of solvents.
5. Remove air cap and immerse in a suitable solvent.Use a bristle brush to
clean dried paint and blow it dry with compressed air.
6. Use cleaning tool (supplied) to clean small clogged holes.
7. Wipe gun with a solvent soaked cloth.
IMPORTANT: Make certain air cap and fluid nozzle are kept clean at all
times. DO NOT use hard objects to clean clogged holes. The smallest
amount of damage may cause irregular spray pattern.
Lubrication
Lubrication procedures must be observed after thoroughly cleaning the gun to
ensure effective, high quality performance of spray gun.
1. Lubricate working points with straight mineral oil, or castor oil.
2. Periodically, place a few drops of oil on tapered sections of fluid nozzle to
ensure easy operation of air cap. When spraying water base materials, coat
fluid nozzle inside and outside with straight mineral oil after each use.
