Cleaning and Maintenance

1.

Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 6.

2.

Unscrew the wing nuts and remove the cover (H).

3.

Loosen the retaining ring of the spray gun air cap 
about three turns.

4.

Hold a rag over the air cap and trigger the gun to 
force the paint back through the hose and into the 
tank.

5.

Empty the tank.

6.

Pour a compatible solvent into the tank.

7.

Replace the cover and tighten the wing nuts evenly 
and securely. Keep the wing nuts well greased so 
they will screw down freely.

8.

Remove the spray gun air cap.

9.

Turn on the air supply. Trigger the gun into a waste 
container until clean solvent comes from the gun. 

10. Empty the solvent and wipe the inside of the tank 

and equipment with a solvent-dampened rag.

11. Remove the riser tube (E) and clean it thoroughly.

12. Keep the pressure relief valve (1b) clean and in 

working order. The relief valve is preset and locked 
to release air automatically if pressure exceeds 50 
psi (350 kPa, 3.5 bar).

Technical Data

NOTICE

Be sure the solvent you use is compatible with the 
fluid being sprayed and the hose material.

If paint comes in contact with the pressure relief 
valve, remove and clean the valve thoroughly. If the 
valve still doesn’t work properly, replace it with a new 
one. Do not try to reset the valve.
