Daily Maintenance
Two daily procedures are required for routine operator maintenance
on this sprayer:
A. Lubricating the upper packings.
B. Cleaning the filter screen
A) Lubricating the upper Packings
1. Clean out the paint that has seeped past the upper packings
into the packing oil reservoir (fig. 15, item 1) above the fluid
