Daily Cleaning

CAUTION
• Do not submerge gun in solvent. Solvent
dissolves lubricant, dries out packings, and
may clog air passages. You can immerse
front end of gun in solvent just until cup
connection is covered.
• Do not use metal tools to clean air cap
holes as this may scratch them and distort
the spray pattern.
• Use a compatible solvent.
1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure,
page 4.
2. Clean fluid and air line filters.
3. Check for fluid leakage from gun and fluid
hoses. Tighten fittings or replace equip-
ment as needed.
