SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injuries from
compressed air explosion, always
disconnect the air line before per-
forming maintenance or service.
Cleaning
Properly cleaning the spray gun helps to
ensure good spraying results and long gun
life. Always thoroughly clean the spray gun
after each use.
To clean spray gun:
1. Spray a small amount of cleaning sol-
vent through gun.
Note: Check with local laws regarding
this practice. If you are spraying on a
regular basis, spraying solvents into
the air may be illegal. A cabinet-style
spray gun cleaner may be required.
2. DISCONNECT SPRAY GUN FROM
AIR!
3. Remove cup and cup lid, then disas-
semble spray gun by unscrewing fluid
control knob and removing spring and
needle (see
Figure 16).
4. Unscrew atomizing cap with your fin-
gers, then remove fluid nozzle with a
wrench. The fully disassembled gun
should look like
Figure 16.
EXPLOSION HAZARD! Chlorinated
Solvents like 1,1,1-Tricloroethane
and Methylene Chloride (methyl
chloride) can chemically react with
aluminum and may explode. Many
parts in spray guns are made of alu-
minum. Read solvent label carefully
before using solvent.
