MAINTENANCE
Daily lubrication and cleaning is necessary to maintain the best condition of the gun.
NOTE: Clean the spray gun after used with clean solvent and empty the inside of the hose.
To clean the fluid passage, after removing extra paint, through the appropriate solvent and flush down the residual
paint. When blowing the paint inside the hose and the gun back to pressure tank by pressuring, follow the following
procedure:
Release the pressure in the tank and loosen the lid a little, then make one rotation to loosen the Retaining Ring (1),
which presses the gun cap. Press the point of the gun with cloth and pull the Trigger (14). The atomizing air then
flows back to the fluid hose and the paint in the hose is flushed back to the tank.
CAUTION: To clean the gun body, wipe exterior with solvent dampened cloth. Do not submerge the gun body in solvent as
any solids may get into the air passage and cause troubles.
CAUTION: The air cap can be immersed in solvent for cleaning. If orifices are clogged, use a broom straw or toothpick to
remove obstruction. Never use a steel wire or hard instrument. This will damage air cap and result in a distorted
spray pattern.
NOTE: Do not immerse any plastic parts in solvent for long time.
CAUTION
Lubrication
:
Do not lubricate to any portions where not instructed
