Cleaning Your Pbc-Gto Spray Gun; Partial Cleaning - Apollo Sprayers Maxi-Miser 3000 PRO Instruction Manual

6. When spraying cars start at the top and work down. This will stop any overspray from landing on your previously
sprayed panels.
7. Try to spray the hard to reach and underneath surfaces first.
Common sense and some forethought will prevent errors. Remember, that a light wet film will generally produce better
results than a heavy wet coat. When spraying a vertical surface, it is advisable to apply a thin/light "tack" coat first, followed
by a normal light wet coat. This technique will help prevent "runs" and "sags".

1. Fluid flow.
2. Distance of the spray gun from your work. 4"-6" (10-15cm) is ideal. Closer if necessary.
3. Pattern direction (vertical, horizontal and round).
4. Speed of application.
5. Fan pattern size.
NOTE: Items 1, 2, and 4 directly relate to each other.

6.3.1 Partial Cleaning

Cleaning your PBC-GTO spray gun does not have to be a difficult task. Often, when spraying a variety of clearcoats,
thorough rinsing and wiping of basic parts is all that may be necessary. The basic steps below are for simple and easy
cleaning of your PBC-GTO spray gun.
1. Empty any unused material (paint) from the cup and wash out any residue with an appropriate cleaner compatible with
the coating, or water if using water-based material. Partially fill the cup with cleaner and spray through the gun to flush out
the material passages.
2. Remove the Air Cap (#2) and clean. Ensure that all the air holes in the air cap are clean.
3. Using a brush and solvent, remove any paint deposits on the outer surface of the tip/nozzle (#3). (Apollo FS1900 cleaning
brush kit recommended).
4. Unscrew and remove the Material Adjustment Screw (#19).
