Maintenance; Storing - Westfalia 17 42 43 Instruction Manual

Clean the paint spray gun and the paint container after each use with
appropriate paint thinners or cleaning agents. Empty the contents. Fill a little
paint thinner into the paint container and rinse it. Empty the paint container
and repeat the process again with clean paint thinner. Spray the clean paint
thinner in short strokes.
During cleaning please always wear a mask and solvent-resistant gloves! Also
wear eye protection, as splashes of solvents can cause injuries of your eyes.
Never put the paint spray gun into solvents for a longer period of time or
overnight.
Never use hard or sharp objects to remove paint residues. The nozzle must
always be kept clean. Debris of dried paint can distort the paint jet and
damage the spray gun.
Rinse all parts well after intensive cleaning and dry the paint spray gun.
Assemble the gun. Fill a small amount of paint thinner or other suitable
cleaning agents into the paint container and blow it with compressed air
through the spray gun.

Maintenance

Lubricate all moving parts of the spray gun and
the thread of the air flow regulator (1) with
suitable non-silicone grease. Lubricate the visible
part of the air piston rod (see picture) as well.
All parts such as nozzles, seals, adjusters, etc.
are wear parts and must be exchanged with
original spare parts in frequent use.
Do not allow liquids to enter the tool and never
immerse it into liquids. Water in the compressed
air inlet can damage the machine. Therefore it is
recommended to drain the air lines and the
compressor in regular intervals! Also clean the air
filters in regular intervals.

Storing

If you do not use the air paint spray gun for a longer period of time, lubricate
the complete spray gun from inside and outside with a little thin-fluid, acid-free
oil. Before next use, fill the paint container with a little thinner and blow it with
compressed air through the spray gun in order to remove the oil.
Store the spray gun in a dust and dirt-free location.
