1. Remove the air cap from the applicator. (Refer
to "Air Cap - Removal".)
2. Tilt the applicator forward and pull the trigger to
make sure that all fluid in the applicator is drained
out.
3. While holding the applicator assembly with the
trigger pulled back, remove the fluid nozzle with
the open-end of the special multi-purpose wrench.
>
The applicator barrel MUST be tilted
front down to remove the fluid nozzle.
Failure to do so may allow paint to enter the
air passages, thereby reducing airflow and
damaging the applicator barrel. Applicators
may be flushed in lieu of tilting. However,
they MUST be either flushed or tilted during
nozzle removal!
