MIST APPLICATOR MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
1. You do not need to clean your Mist Applicator every time you stop spraying. Either set the Mist
Applicator down carefully so as not to tip it over, or hang it by the hook. You should, however, clean
your Mist Applicator at the end of a work session or at the end of the day. It is not a good idea to leave
solution in the Mist Applicator over night. Also, pay careful attention in keeping the cup threads clean,
this includes the threads on the main gun body as well. Dried material on the threads can cause the
cup to lock onto the surface making removal difficult.
2. When you have finished spraying, pour the remainder of your solution out of the Mist Applicator cup.
Pour in a small amount cleaning fluid. Use a cleaner that is compatible with the solution you just
sprayed (water if nothing else is available). Shake the Mist Applicator gently. Wait about one minute
and spray out the cleaner in the cup.
3. If necessary, remove the Fluid tip (7) and nozzle washer (17). A standard wrench will fit the flanges on
the fluid tip. Be careful not to loose or misplace the nozzle washer. Rinse with appropriate cleaner.
4. To remove the fluid needle assembly, turn the solution adjusting screw (4) all the way counter- (anti)
clockwise until it comes out of the Mist Applicator. Carefully remove the spring (3). Pull the needle
assembly back towards you out of the back of the Mist Applicator. Wipe or rinse clean.
5. Wipe all exposed areas clean again giving special attention to the cup threads.
6. Although they might not need attention every time you spray, you should be aware of two additional
important parts on your Mist Applicator. One is the cup gasket (11) and the fluid Needle Packing (13).
The cup gasket insures that the cup is properly sealed to the Mist Applicator body, the cup is properly
pressurized and no fluid leaks from the Mist Applicator cup. Replace if necessary. The fluid needle
packing (13) compresses around the fluid needle assembly to prevent fluid from leaking around the
needle. This is adjusted by tightening (or loosening) the needle packing screw (14). Be sure that this
screw is not too tight as to not permit free movement of the needle assembly. Be sure that this screw is
not too loose as to permit fluid to leak around the needle. Normally, this is preset at the factory and
should need no adjustment. Replace fluid needle packing (13) when it becomes impossible to prevent
leaking.
7. Store your Mist Applicator for the next use.
