Scrub the air cap retaining ring, air cap, and fluid
nozzle with the soft-bristle brush. To clean out air
cap holes, use the small brush provided. Clean the
air cap and fluid nozzle daily, minimum. Some
applications require more frequent cleaning. Do
not soak the air cap retaining ring in solvent for
prolonged periods of time.

To avoid galling of the fluid nozzle in the spray
housing (2a) apply a thin film of lubricant to the
back surface of the nozzle taper where it seats
and also to the nozzle threads. Trigger the gun
while you install the fluid nozzle (12) with the gun
tool (28). Tighten the nozzle securely to 40 in-lb
(4.5 N
m) to obtain a good seal.
Do not over
torque.
