5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION 

-

Never use spare parts that are not AIR GUNSA originals.

-

Never damage fluid nozzle tip, fluid needle or air cap holes.

-

Never immerse the spray gun completely in liquids such as thinner.

5.1 CLEANING

- Never soak air cap (1) in solvent, even when cleaning.

- Never use metal objects to clean spray gun.

1. Drain remaining paint from cup, into a suitable container. 

2. Pour cleaner into cup.

3. Unscrew air cap (1) by 2 turns, to allow atomizing air to back flush fluid 

passages of the gun.

4. Pull trigger (15) and make sure, that atomizing air enters cup.

5. Leave cleaner for a few seconds, then empty it into suitable waste con-

tainer.

6.  Remove air cap (1) and cup from gun, then clean each section with brush

soaked with cleaner and wipe out with waste cloth. Do not use metal 

objects to clean holes.

7. Dry all parts completely and apply spray gun lubricant to each thread. 

5.2 MAINTENANCE

_ Before disassembly, clean fluid passages

a.

Disassemble fluid nozzle (10), while keeping fluid needle (11) pulled (trig-
gering) in order to protect its seat section.

b.

Disassemble fluid needle set.

(only when strictly necessary)

c.

Remove the fluid needle adj. knob (17) and needle spring (18), extracting 
the spring and fluid needle set (11), from the back of fluid adj. guide set 
(7-5) still assembled on the gun body.

d.

Adjustment of the needle packing nut (13), must always be carried out 
with fluid needle (11) already assembled,  tightening the nut with a suita-
ble spanner, making sure that excessive tightening does not impede 
movement of fluid needle, resulting in paint leaking from fluid nozzle tip 
(10).

e.

For the inspection and replacement of air valve components, remove fluid 
needle adj. knob (17), fluid needle spring (18) and fluid needle (11), after 
which disassemble fluid adjustment guide (7-5) and all air valve compo-
nents in order: air valve spring seat (7-4), air valve spring (7-3) air valve 
(7-2).  
To reassemble the air valve, reverse the procedure.

f.

Disassembly of pattern adjustment set (5) 

In order to disassemble pattern 

adj. set (5), turn the hexagon knob of the adjustment counterclockwise 
manually, to open it completely and unscrew the hexagon nut with a span-
ner, turning it counterclockwise. 

- To reassemble pattern adjustment set, reverse the procedure.

The fluid passages of the gun, must be cleaned thoroughly 
after each use, especially after use with bi-component paints. 
Incomplete cleaning can cause defective pattern shape.
