12. Clean the inner part of the nozzle holder using the same short cleaning
brush. In order to clean the AKKORD needle passage within the nozzle
holder, please use the long cleaning brush (bottle brush) which also
belongs to the scope of supply of your spray gun. Immerse the brush in
the solvent, introduce it into the AKKORD needle passage and move the
brush to and fro until the passage is clean. Take utmost care not to
damage the sealing ring (1/6).
13. Reassemble the spray gun in reverse order and lubricate the thread of
the nozzle cap adjusting ring, the thread of the pressure spring sleeve
and of the pressure spring (1/15) within the sleeve with the same
lubricant you have used for the AKKORD needle. Lubricate both the
inside of the knurled screw and the threaded stern and do not screw it
on the pressure spring sleeve before the sleeve has been mounted on
the spray gun. Otherwise, the AKKORD needle could be damaged.
14. A further disassembly of the spray gun is usually not required.
Attention!
If the cleaning procedure is effected by means of a spray gun cleaning
facility, dismount the air converter first, as there are O-rings (1/20 and 1/51)
which cannot indefinitely be exposed to solvents.
To dismount the air converter, loosen the locking screw for the air converter
(1/49) first by means of a 4mm hexagon socket screw key.
Then, take a 17 mm open-jawed wrench to turn counterclockwise and to
remove the air converter at the air supply nozzle (1/26). Afterwards, clean
the spray gun in the cleaning facility.
