4.2
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The routine maintenance of the BRP spray gun is simple and does not require special
operations because its components do not need to be lubricated. Clean the spray gun daily
or at the end of each working session so that product residue will not dry out on its walls, thus
guaranteeing long term efficiency.
CLEANING OPERATIONS:
Should the spray gun be connected to ASTURO K24 pumps, see par. 5.4 in the K24 use and
maintenance manual. Should the spray gun be connected to a different equipment, see the
relevant manual. Unscrew the cap ring and with the given wrench disassemble the nozzle.
Place everything in the thinner. Clean the head of the spray gun, the needle and the nozzle
with the given brush. Assemble the spray gun, lubricate the threaded parts with a thin layer of
oil and screw it tightly.
DO NOT USE POINTED METAL OBJECTS TO CLEAN CLOGGED PASSAGE HOLES.
THESE OPERATIONS WOULD DAMAGE THEM, REDUCING THEIR SPRAYING
QUALITY.
Wash the paint cup with thinner. In case industrial washers are used to clean the spray gun,
close the flow regulator knob and the needle adjustment knob tightly by turning them clockwise
in order to avoid thinner infiltrations which might, in time, damage the packings. Once in a while,
lubricate the threaded parts such as the air cap and the needle stroke adjustment knob with a
thin layer of synthetic oil, in order to avoid seizing up caused by the effect of thinners on the
spray gun components.
THE LUBRICANTS USED MUST NOT CONTAIN SILICONE.
