THOROUGH CLEAN-UP
For more elaborate cleaning (tool required:
½
” hex socket and ratchet, 13/32” open-end wrench):
1. From the back of the gun, remove the Material Flow Adjustment Screw, the Needle Spring, and
the Needle by hand.
2. From the front of the gun, remove the Sleeve Nut and the Air Cap by hand, and the Fluid Tip
using a
½
” socket and ratchet
3. Remove the cup from the gun and use a Gun Cleaning Brush as a pipe cleaner to clean the fluid
passages from the bottom of the siphon tube and then from the front of the gun.
4. Remove the Gland Nut using a 13/32” open-ended wrench and remove the Gland Seals
Do not use hardened needles or picks to clean the holes of the Fluid Tip or the Air Cap.
This may
enlarge the holes of these critical parts and affect the performance of your system when used.
“CAUTION”:
Do
NOT
submerse entire gun body in solvent or cleaning solutions. There are internal o-
rings /gaskets that do not come in contact with coatings being applied such as fan size adjusting
assembly and
BNB Disk
piston assembly. In doing so will result in damaging seals and will require
replacement of o-rings.
Once cleaning is complete, dispose of used cleaning solvent and dirty rags in a safe and environmentally
friendly way.
REPLACING THE CUP TOP GASKET
The Cup Top Gasket on the underside of the Cup Top should be replaced periodically as part of
preventive maintenance. A worn Cup Top Gasket can be the cause of material leaking from the paint cup
and/or bubbling under the paint cup top when the gun is in use.
To Replace The Cup Top Gasket:
1. Remove the Paint Cup from the gun.
2. Remove the Cup Top Gasket using a pointed object or screwdriver.
3. Replace with a new gasket, making sure it is placed flat and properly pressed in place.
