POSITION
ADJUSTING SPRAY GUN
Hold gun with trigger locked (25) and push trigger
against the lock (17). Then adjust nut (15) so that
the retainer (14) will move freely back and forth
approximately 1/32" to allow valve spring unit (9)
to seat the valve ball (8).
IMPORTANT: Readjust nut (15) periodically for
wear of valve seat (7) and valve ball (8); other-
wise, leakage will occur.
TO REPLACE THE VALVE BALL HOLDER (8)
KIT #2-007
3 Tip Washers
1 Valve Ball Holder (8) 2 Seals-Teflon (9a)
Dismantling:
1. Unscrew Rev-Guard and remove spray tip
and seal.
2. Unscrew valve seat (7) with 1/2" socket wrench.
*Caution*
When removing and replacing valve seat (7), hold
the trigger (25) in the open position so that the valve
ball (8) is lifted off the valve seat. Failure to lift the
ball off the seat will result in a scratched leaky valve.
3. Unscrew valve ball (8) together with the brass
part of the assembly (9). Do not pull on the parts
or the packing may get damaged.
4. Unscrew the valve ball (8) from the brass part
of the assembly (9).
Reassembling
is done in reverse sequence.
Screw the new valve ball with holder (8) into the
brass part (9).
*Caution*
Tighten valve ball and brass part on threaded end
of the shaft by hand until you feel a positive stop.
Do not tighten with a wrench since this could
result in breaking the shaft.
Note it is recommended that you change the valve
seat (7) and valve ball (8) at the same time.

tainer pins (13) and push shaft of the valve spring
unit (9) out of the gun head (12).
3. Clean gun head (12) bore with solvent and small
brush. Do not use any sharp objects to scrape away
dried paint, as they would cause leakage around
the seal.
Reassembling
is done in reverse sequence.
IMPORTANT: When reassembling, install valve
spring unit (9) with spring loose.
Push firmly into gun head by hand. Install
retainer pins (13), retainer (14) and nut (15)
loosely onto valve spring unit (9). By hand turn
front of valve spring unit clockwise, tightening
the valve spring unit until you feel a positive
stop. At that point, continue tightening the valve
spring another 1/8 turn expanding the Teflon
seals against body of gun.
*Caution*
Do not tighten beyond 1/8 turn as this can result in
breaking the valve spring unit shaft. Continue
reassembly and adjustment as described above.
CLEANING 007 SPRAY GUN
Immediately after the work is finished, flush the gun
out with a solvent. Brush pins (13) with solvent and oil
them lightly so they will not collect dried paint.
TO REMOVE CLOGS- REVERSIBLE TIP
1. Turn Rev-Tip handle 180 degrees.
2. Disengage gun safety latch & trigger gun into pail.
3. Engage gun safety latch and return handle to
spraying position.
CLOGGED FLAT TIP -Should the spray tip become clogged,
relieve pressure from hoses by following the "Pressure Relief
Procedure" in Machine Manual, secure the gun with safety
lock (17), take off Guard , take out the tip, soak in appropriate
solvent & clean with a brush. (Do not use a needle or sharp
pointed instrument to clean the tip. The tungsten carbide is
brittle and can chip.)
CLEANING FILTER
To clean the filter, use a brush dipped in as appropriate
solvent. Change or clean filters at least once a day. Some
types of latex may require a filter change after four hours
of operation.
