Cleaning the Spray Gun Filter
The screen at the bottom of the suction tube may also need cleaning. Check it every time you change spray containers.
The filter must be cleaned every time you use your sprayer. When using thicker spray materials, the filter might need to
be cleaned more often.
NOTE - the LX60 threads are left-handed. Turn the filter
clockwise to remove, and counterclockwise to replace.
