Gun/Cup Installation
The gravity cup threads onto the fluid
inlet fitting at the top of the gravity
spray gun. Hold the cup closer to the
bottom (fitting end) of the cup. Grasping
the cup at the top and applying pressure
may cause the cup to go out of round,
affecting the lid seal. For the aluminum
gravity cups, tighten the cup at the
fitting with your gravity gun wrench.
Cleaning
The cup may be cleaned in a gun
washer or wiped clean. Do not clean
the lid in a gun washer. Wipe clean only.
WARNING
To reduce the risks associated with all residual hazards:
• Read, understand, follow and retain for future reference all safety statements in
each applicable equipment owner’s manual and refer to the applicable Material
Safety Data Sheet and material container label for each material to be sprayed
before using your 3M equipment.
• This equipment is to be used only by professionals familiar with the possible
applicable safety hazards.
• Do not use this product around unsupervised children.
• Never modify any part of this product.
• Always comply with local, state, and national codes governing ventilation, fire
protection, operation, maintenance, housekeeping and disposal plus all safety
statements in applicable owner manuals, MSDS and material container labels.
To reduce the risks associated with chemical exposure:
• Never point a spray gun at anyone else or place any part of your body in front of a
spray nozzle.
• Before use, check spray equipment for damage and proper function and repair/
replace worn, damaged or malfunctioning components.
• Always wear appropriate, approved personal protective equipment for eye,
skin, respiratory and hearing protection per the applicable MSDS and material
container labels at all times when spraying.
To reduce the risks associated with fire and explosion:
• Must maintain adequate ventilation per applicable MSDS and material container
labels for each material being sprayed in the work area.
• All ignition sources, such as smoking, must be kept out of the spray area.
• Always maintain a readily available, approved fire extinguisher or other approved fire
fighting equipment in the spray area.
• Always locate turbine unit/compressor as far away from spray area as the air
supply hoses allow.
• Never use solvents containing Methylene Chloride, Trichloromethane or other
halogenated solvents for any reason to avoid a possible violent, explosive
chemical reaction when exposed to aluminum or zinc (refer to the manufacturer’s
MSDS or contact material supplier if there is any doubt to confirm compatibiltiy).
Cup Installation, Cleaning and Maintenance
Note:
The lid is a wear part. The sealing
threads and gasket will wear over time.
Gasket Replacement
Remember that the cup lid contains
a gasket. The gasket must be in good
condition and firmly seated to the cup
to prevent fluid leakage. Lubricate
the gasket after each cleaning with
petroleum jelly. Replace the gasket when
necessary.
Note:
Refer to your Spray Gun Owner’s
Manual for component references and
additional set up instructions.
To reduce the risks associated with lifting and handling:
• Always locate turbine unit/compressor as far away from spray area as the air
supply hoses allow.
To reduce the risks associated with environmental contamination:
• Spray materials, solvents and other cleaning materials and electronic
components must be disposed of per federal, state and local regulations.
Note: Your cup may be made from aluminum. Certain solvents containing
Methylene Chloride and Trichloromethane are not chemically compatible with
aluminum.
Read, understand and follow all safety statements as well as wear appropriate,
approved personal protective equipment per the applicable MSDS and material
container labels for cleaning solutions.
