Daily Gun Care, Flushing, and Cleaning
CAUTION
Trigger the gun whenever you tighten or remove the
seat housing. This keeps the needle ball away from
the seating surface and prevents the seat from being
damaged.
9. If it is necessary to remove the seat housing (13)
to clean, trigger the gun while you remove the seat
housing with the gun tool (36). Remove the seat
housing gasket (12b) and replace with a new
gasket.
