Cleanup
Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure trouble-
free operation. Flush the gun after each use and store
in a dry location. Do not leave the gun or any of its
parts in water or solvents.
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at
least one hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon
container, then flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned
thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so permits
material to cake, seriously affecting the
performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum
pressure with the tip and tip guard
removed when using mineral
spirits or any other solvent to
clean the sprayer, hose, or gun.
Static electricity buildup may
result in a fire or explosion in the
presence of flammable vapors. Hold the gun firmly
against a metal container while flushing.
Maintenance
Follow all safety precautions as described in the
Safety Precautions section of this manual before
proceeding.
Replacing/Servicing the Packing
Seal Assembly
If your spray gun leaks or spits at the tip when you
release the trigger, the needle or seat is worn,
damaged, or dirty and must be replaced or cleaned.
Never attempt to perform maintenance on the spray
gun without first performing the “Pressure Relief
Procedure.”
1. Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure” and
disconnect the fluid hose from the gun.
2. Remove the end cap and the packing spring from
the rear of the gun head.
3. Using a 3/8” socket, remove the packing seal
assembly from the rear of the gun head.
4. Soak the removed parts in the appropriate solvent
and wipe clean.
5. Inspect the parts for wear or damage and use new
parts during reassembly of the gun, when necessary.
NOTE:
Lubricate all packings and moving
parts before reassembly with a lithium-
based grease.
