How to Check the Gun Diffuser
Operation
The Standard Needle and Seat Kit, 237398, has the
number
090
stamped on the needle and seat. The seat
does
have a diffuser.
The optional Non-diffused Needle and Seat Kit, 237260,
has the number
125
stamped on the needle and seat.
The seat
does not
have a diffuser.
Check the diffuser operation weekly. The gun
diffuser/
seat (2a) breaks up spray and reduces the risk
of fluid injection when the tip is not installed. Perform the
test below. If it fails, replace the entire Needle and Seat
Kit. Diffuser/seats and needles are not sold separately;
using old parts with new ones will result in leakage.
1. Relieve pressure.
2. Remove the tip guard and spray tip.
3. Start the sprayer and adjust it to the lowest pres
sure.
4. Aim the gun into a grounded metal pail while holding
it firmly to the pail. Trigger the gun. If the fluid emit
ted
is not
diffused into an irregular stream, replace
the entire needle kit immediately
The diffuser, located in the valve seat, creates an
irregular spray pattern when the gun is sprayed
without the tip guard, such as during cleaning. This
reduces the risk of an injection injury.
If you are using the optional Kit 237260, you must
take extra precautions to keep your hands and body
away from the nozzle of the gun.
always have the tip guard in place during regular
spraying operations.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
whenever you are instructed to
relieve pressure, follow the
Irregular Spray Pattern.
