Maintenance
CAUTION
Methylene Chloride with formic or propionic acid is
not
recommended as a flushing or cleaning solvent
with this gun or any other device with nylon or alumi-
num components, as it can damage these parts.
CAUTION
To ensure thorough flushing and to avoid gun dam-
age, only use solvents that are compatible with the
fluid being sprayed and the wetted parts of the gun.
To avoid getting solvent in the gun air passages and
damaging packings, do not immerse the gun in
solvent.
Cleaning
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury, whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, follow the
Pres-
sure Relief Procedure
on page 6.
1. To clean the gun, flush it with a compatible solvent
until all traces of paint are removed from the gun
passages.
2.
Relieve the pressure.
3. Wipe the outside of the gun clean with a solvent
dampened cloth.
4. If the air cap and fluid nozzle need cleaning,
relieve the pressure
, and remove the air cap (3)
from the gun. Remove the fluid nozzle with the
special nozzle wrench (21), supplied. Soak the
fluid nozzle in solvent and wipe it with a clean
cloth. Soak the air cap in solvent and scrub it with
a fine bristled brush (20). To clean the holes in the
air cap, use a toothpick or other soft implement to
avoid damaging critical surfaces.
NOTE:
Clean the air cap and fluid nozzle daily. Some
applications require more frequent cleaning.
NOTE:
The shield (24) helps to minimize over-spray
buildup on the fluid needle. See Fig. 3, page 13.
CAUTION
Do not use metal instruments to clean holes in the
air cap and nozzle. Metal instruments can damage
the holes in the air cap and fluid nozzle, resulting in
distortion of the spray pattern.
Lubrication
Lubricate the exposed portion of the fluid needle (1)
daily with Graco TSL or light oil. See Fig. 3, page 13.
Periodically lubricate the needle spring (7) and cylinder
with lightweight grease or petroleum jelly.
