If fluid leaks from the fluid needle area, the fluid pack-
ings may be loose. Tighten the packings, following the
procedure below.
1. Prepare the gun for service as instructed on page

2. Remove the retaining nut (8), tip guard, (2), air cap
(1), and spray tip (9). See Fig. 7, page 30. You
may have to turn the air cap with the tip guard to
remove the air cap from the gun.
3. Trigger the gun and remove the seat housing (21)
with the 9 mm driver (64), supplied. See Fig. 8,
page 30.
NOTE: The seat housing (21) must be removed before
adjusting the fluid packings.
4. Remove the barrel as instructed on page 33.
5. Place the 2 mm driver (58), supplied, in the back
