Maintenance - Graco D Series Instructions Manual

Clean the Spray Gun and System Daily
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8.
CAUTION
Be sure that the solvent you use is compatible with
the fluid being sprayed, to avoid clogging the gun's
fluid passaged.
An important part in the care and maintenance of your
automatic airless spray gun is proper flushing. Flush
the gun daily with a compatible solvent until all traces
of fluid are removed from the gun passages. Relieve
the pressure and remove the spray tip before flush-
ing.

Maintenance

Clean the outside surfaces of the gun by wiping with a
soft cloth dampened with a compatible solvent.
Never immerse the entire gun in solvent. Immersing
in solvent removes lubricants and tends to damage
packings. Never use metal instruments to clean the
hole in the spray tip. Metal instruments may damage
the hole and distort the spray pattern.
To remove a hardened particle from the tip, relieve the
pressure, remove the tip and blow air through the tip
orifice from the front.
Soak the plugged tip in solvent and use a soft bristled
brush to clean it.
