Spraying Troubleshooting -
Cleaning the Spray Gun Filter
The filter must be cleaned every time you use your sprayer. When using thicker spray materials, the filter might need to
be cleaned more often.
1. Perform
page 7.
2. Unclip the trigger guard from the filter housing by pulling
outward from the filter housing. Unscrew the filter
housing.
3. Remove the filter from the spray gun housing and clean
with the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water
for latex paints, mineral spirits for oil-based materials).
4. Inspect the filter for holes (see inset). Replace if holes
are found.
NOTE - NEVER POKE THE FILTER WITH A SHARP
INSTRUMENT!
5. Replace the cleaned filter, tapered end first, into the gun
housing.
The tapered end of the filter must be loaded
properly into the gun. Improper assembly will result
in a plugged tip or no flow from the gun.
6. Reassemble the spray gun.

2. Empty the hopper of all spraying material (see
page 7). Clean any remaining material
residue inside the hopper with the appropriate cleaning

4. Clean the inlet filter using the appropriate cleaning
solution (warm, soapy water with latex paints, mineral
spirits with oil-based paints or stains).
5. Place inlet filter back over the valve stem and into the
hopper outlet. Thread hopper outlet back into the bottom
of the hopper.
If after having completed all of the steps on this page
you are still experiencing problems spraying, refer to
the Troubleshooting page (page 17).
