OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Model 95G Gravity Feed Spray Gun is excep-
tionally rugged in construction and is built to stand up
under hard, continuous use. However, like any other fine
precision instrument, its most efficient operation
depends on a knowledge of its construction, operation,
and maintenance. Properly handled and cared for, it will
produce beautiful, uniform finishing results long after
other spray guns have worn out.
SET-UP FOR SPRAYING (Figure 1)
CONNECTING GUN TO AIR HOSE
Air should be supplied by a suitable length of 5/16"
diameter air hose fitted with a 1/4 NPS(f) connection at
base of gun handle. For hose lengths over 50', use 3/8"
hose.
CONNECTING GRAVITY FEED CUP TO GUN
Screw the cup into the spray gun fluid inlet. Fill the cup
with filtered paint.

NOTE:
All numbers in parentheses ( ) refer to item
numbers in assembly drawing on Page 6.
CONTROLLING THE MATERIAL FLOW
Correct fluid nozzle size should be selected for proper
material flow rate. The material valve control knob (21)
may be used to restrict the material needle valve opening
and reduce the material flow as necessary.
CONTROLLING THE FAN SPRAY
The fan spray is controlled by means of the side port
control assembly (9). Turning this control clockwise
until it is closed will give a round spray. Turning it
counterclockwise will widen the spray into a fan shape.
The fan spray can be turned anywhere through 360
°
by
positioning the air cap (2) relative to the gun. To affect
this, loosen retainer ring, position nozzle, then tighten
retainer ring.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
FAULTY SPRAY
A faulty spray is often caused by improper cleaning result-
ing in dried materials around the material nozzle tip or in
the air nozzle. Soak these parts in thinners to soften the
dried material and remove with a brush or cloth. If either
the air cap (2) or fluid nozzle (3) are damaged, these parts
must be replaced before perfect spray can be obtained.
INTERMITTENT SPRAY
Fluttering spray is caused by one of the following:
1. Insufficient material in cup. Refill the cup.
2. Loose fluid nozzle. Tighten snugly.
3. Cup connection loose or dirt in connection.
Correct as necessary.
4. Air vent in gravity cup blocked. Clear obstruction.
SPRAY GUN CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
In certain states, spraying solvents which contain
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere
when cleaning a spray gun is now prohibited.
In order to comply with these new air quality laws,
Binks recommends one of the following two methods
to clean your spray finishing equipment.
1. Spray solvent through the gun into a
closed system
.
An enclosed unit or spray gun cleaning station con-
denses solvent vapors back into liquid form which
prevents escape of VOCs into the atmosphere.
2. Place spray gun in a washer type cleaner. This system
must totally enclose the spray gun, cups, nozzles and
other parts during washing, rinsing and draining
cycles. This type of unit must be able to flush solvent
through the gun without releasing any VOC vapors
into the atmosphere.
CLEANING GUN AND GRAVITY FEED CUP
Remove the cup cover and drain unused material from
cup. Carefully rinse cup with solvent. Place clean solvent
into the cup and spray this through the gun until it is
clean. Remove and clean the cup if necessary. Blow air
through the gun to dry it. (Refer to Service Bulletin SBBI-
4-043 for cleaning instructions when using cup liners.)
WARNING
Servicing the gun while pressurized could result in compo-
nents or material exiting the gun at high velocity, possibly
resulting in personal injury or damage to the spray gun.
Before removing any components from the spray gun, shut
off air pressure and drain material from the paint cup.
!
CAUTION
Never use metal instruments to clean the air or material
nozzles. These parts are carefully machined and any damage
to them will cause faulty spray.
