Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
1.
Lock the gun trigger safety.
2.
Turn off the power to the pump.
3.
Close any bleed-type master air valves.
4.
Unlock the gun trigger safety.
5.
Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve
pressure.
6.
Lock the gun trigger safety.
7.
Open the system drain valve(s), having a container
ready to catch the drainage.
NOTE: Some models are supplied with a drain valve
(12). Refer to the parts list for your model.
8.
Leave the drain valve(s) open until you are ready to
spray again.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely
clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved
after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the
tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear
the tip or hose.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Filter
Dried paint sediment can clog the filter screen and
greatly reduce filtering ability. Dried paint also makes the
filter difficult to remove. Clean the filter regularly; daily if
needed, following the procedure below.
1.
Relieve the pressure.
2.
Carefully remove the drain plug (1) from the bottom
of the filter bowl (7) to drain the fluid.
NOTE: Some models are supplied with a drain valve
(12). Refer to the parts list for your model. The drain
plug not used with Model 241107.
3.
Unscrew the bowl from the filter housing (9).
4.
Pull the screen (5) straight out of the bowl. (See
Kits and Accessories for other available screens.)
5.
Remove the compression spring (8) from the filter
bowl (7).
6.
To remove the filter support (6), gently push in on
the filter support stud. Replace the filter support if
the ridges are worn.
The system pressure must be manually relieved to
prevent the system from starting or spraying
accidentally. Fluid under high pressure can be
injected through the skin and cause serious injury. To
reduce the risk of an injury from injection, splashing
fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure whenever you:
•
are instructed to relieve the pressure,
•
stop spraying,
•
check or service any of the system equipment,
•
install or clean the spray tip.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging parts, never force them apart. If
any parts are stuck tightly together, soak them in a
compatible solvent before disassembling them. Be
careful not to drop or damage the filter housing and
bowl. Dirt, paint sediment, nicks or scratches may
prevent the o-ring (3) from seating properly.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you are
instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5.
