Cleaning a Clogged Tip
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in the Operation
section of this manual.
2. If the tip clogs, rotate the tip handle 180° until the arrow
on the handle is facing the opposite of the spray direction
and the handle clicks in the reverse position.
3. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the
clog out. NEVER use the tip in the reverse position for
more than ONE trigger pull at a time. This procedure can
be repeated until the tip is free of clogging.
The flow from the spray tip is at very high pressure.
Contact with any body part may be dangerous. Do not
place finger on gun outlet. Do not point the gun at any
person. Never operate the spray gun without the proper
tip guard.
Maintenance
Before proceeding, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
outlined previously in this manual. Additionally, follow all
other warnings to reduce the risk of an injection injury,
injury from moving parts or electric shock. Always unplug
the sprayer before servicing!
Daily Maintenance
Two daily procedures are required for routine operator
maintenance on this unit:
1. Lubricating the upper packings.
2. Cleaning the rock catcher.
Lubricating the Upper Packings
1. Clean out the paint that has
seeped past the upper
packings into the packing oil
reservoir above the fluid
section.
2. Fill the packing oil reservoir 1/2
full with Piston Lube (P/N 314-
480) supplied by the factory.
This will extend packing life.
Cleaning the Rock Catcher
1. The rock catcher will clog and
must be cleaned at least once a
day.
2. Loosen the nut that secures the
rock catcher to the siphon tube.
3. Remove the rock catcher from the
bottom of the siphon tube.
4. Clean thoroughly with the
appropriate solvent.

NOTE: Do not over-fill the
reservoir so that it
overflows and drips
into the paint.

Maintaining the Filter Assembly
Clean the filter regularly. Dirty or clogged filters can greatly
reduce filtering ability and cause a number of system problems
including poor spray patterns, clogged spray tips, etc.
Cleaning
To clean the filter, perform the following procedure.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the
Operation section of this manual.
2. Remove the filter cap assembly
and spring.
3. Pull the filter element with ball
straight out of the filter body.
4. Clean inside the filter body,
filter element with ball, and filter
cap assembly using the
appropriate solvent.
Inspection
Inspect all parts of the filter assembly before reassembly.
1. Inspect the ball inside the filter element. If the ball has
pressure cuts or scratches, replace the filter element.
a. If the ball is cut, remove the
PTFE
o-ring using an o-
ring pick and remove the carbide seat.
b. Check the seat for nicks or grooves. If the seat is
damaged, replace.
2. Remove the spring from the spring guide on the filter cap.
a. Measure the length of the spring uncompressed. If it
measures less the 3/4” from end to end, replace.
b. Push the spring back onto the spring guide until it
“snaps” back into position.
3. Inspect the two
PTFE
gaskets and the
PTFE
o-ring for
deformity, nicks, or cuts. Replace, if needed.
Reassembly
After cleaning and inspecting all parts, reassemble the filter.
1. Place the carbide seat into the filter body. Make sure the
beveled side of the seat is facing up.
2. Place the
PTFE
o-ring into the groove on the outer
diameter of the carbide seat.
3. Place the filter element with ball into the filter body.
4. Push the spring back onto the spring guide of the filter cap
until it “snaps” back into position, if not already done.
5. Place the thin
PTFE
gasket onto the step at the top of the
filter body.
6. Place the thick
PTFE
gasket onto the top of the thin
gasket.
7. Tighten the filter cap assembly onto the filter body.
NOTE: The top and bottom of the filter element with
ball are identical.
NOTE: The
PTFE
gaskets,
PTFE
o-ring, and spring
are packaged in Filter Service Kit P/N 930-050.
NOTE: Removal of the
PTFE
o-ring will damage the
o-ring and require replacement.
NOTE: Use care in handling
parts as dirt, debris,
scratches, or nicks
may prevent o-rings or
gaskets from sealing.
This filter element
filters from the inside
out. Be sure to clean
the filter element
thoroughly on the
inside. Soak in
solvent to loosen
hardened paint or
replace.
