MAINTENANCE
!
† The applicator barrel MUST be tilted front down to
remove the fluid nozzle. Failure to do so may allow
paint to enter the air passages, thereby reducing air-
flow and damaging the applicator barrel. Applicators
may be flushed in lieu of tilting. However, they MUST
be either flushed or tilted during nozzle removal!
3. While holding the applicator assembly with the trigger
pulled back, remove the fluid nozzle with the open-end
of the special multi-purpose wrench.
† To keep the needle/electrode from unscrewing
from the needle shaft, the applicator's trigger should
be actuated to pull the needle/electrode away from the
fluid nozzle.
Cleaning and Inspection
1. Use a suitable solvent to clean the fluid nozzle.
2. Examine the fluid nozzle for damage to the air passages
and the fluid nozzle tip. Also, examine the needle seat
for damage or wear. If any damaged or any worn areas
are found, the fluid nozzle must be replaced.

Description
Return To Contents
† If the fluid nozzle is replaced, there is a good
chance that the needle/electrode assembly will need
to be replaced also. A worn needle/electrode assem-
bly may not always seat well in a new fluid nozzle.
Reinstall
1. Check the needle/electrode tightness on the needle shaft.
If it is loose, tighten it (refer to "Needle/Electrode" in the
"Maintenance" section).
2. With the applicator trigger actuated, place the fluid
nozzle over the needle/electrode and screw it into the
barrel by hand.
3. Tighten it using the special multi-purpose wrench with
3/8" square. Torque to 40-45 lbs - in (4.5-5.1 Nm). An
alternate method (if no torque wrench is available) is to
hand tighten, then tighten an additional 1/16 turn in the
clockwise direction.

† DO NOT over-tighten the fluid nozzle into the bar-
rel. Doing so could damage or break the fluid nozzle or
damage the thread of the barrel.
