WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
whenever you are instructed to relieve
pressure, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure on page 9.
1. Check the packing nut/wet–cup (102) daily. Re-
lieve pressure first. Keep the wet–cup 1/3 full of
TSL at all times to help prevent fluid buildup on the
piston rod and premature wear of packings.
2. Tighten the packing nut/wet–cup (102) just enough
to stop leakage. Over-tightening causes binding
and excessive packing wear. Use a round punch
or brass rod and a light hammer to adjust the nut.
See Fig. 11.
3. Clean the gun's fluid filter (if present) often and
whenever the gun is stored. Relieve pressure first.
4. Periodically clean paint residue from the pressure
transducer vent hole (A) area. See Fig. 12. Re-
place the transducer when leakage is excessive.
See page 31.
5. Lubricate the bearing housing after every 100
hours of operation. Remove the front cover. Fill the
bearing housing cavity (B) with several drops of
SAE 10 non–detergent oil. See Fig. 12.
6. Flush the sprayer at the end of each work day and
fill it with mineral spirits to help prevent pump
corrosion and freezing. See page 12.
CAUTION
To prevent pump corrosion, and to reduce the
chance of fluid freezing in the pump in cold weather,
never leave water or any type of paint in the sprayer
when it is not in use. Freezing can seriously dam-
age the sprayer or result in a loss of pressure or
stalling.
7. For very short shutoff periods, leave the suction
hose in the paint, relieve pressure, and clean the
spray tip.

Shutdown and Care

8. Coil the hose when storing it, even for overnight, to
