WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
To reduce the risk of a serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, follow the Pres-
sure Relief Procedure on page 13.
Solvent left in gun air passages could result in a poor quality paint finish. Do not use any cleaning method which
may allow solvent into the gun air passages.
Do not point the gun up while cleaning it.
Do not immerse the gun in solvent.

General System Maintenance

CAUTION
Clean all parts with a non-conductive solvent, com-
patible with the fluid being sprayed. Conductive
solvents can cause the gun to malfunction.
Methylene chloride with formic or propionic acid is
not recommended as a flushing or cleaning solvent
with this gun as it will damage nylon components.
Do not wipe the gun with a cloth soaked in
solvent; ring out the excess.
Do not use metal tools to clean the air cap
holes as this may scratch them; scratches can
distort the spray pattern.
4. Flush the gun before changing colors and when-
ever you are done operating the gun.
