Ensure supply pressures have been
>
bled to zero prior to servicing the applica-
tor. Failure to do so may cause personal
injury.
If the fluid nozzle is completely clogged,
>
triggering the applicator will not release the
pressure. Cover the end of the applicator
with a heavy rag and loosen the nozzle nut
slowly into a grounded catch container.
Any broken or damaged components
>
should be replaced. Any damage to the
applicator may result in UNSAFE operating
conditions.
1. Turn OFF the control unit/power supply power.
2. Turn the paint and air supplies OFF. Relieve
both fluid and air pressures. Set the trigger stop
lever.
3. Unscrew the air cap retaining ring completely
from the barrel.
4. With the front of the barrel tilted downward,
remove the air cap and fluid nozzles.
5. Clean all parts in a suitable solvent and examine
for wear and damage. To clear the fluid nozzle
orifice, blow compressed air through the tip in
the opposite direction of flow. Soaking in solvent
and/or brushing may also be necessary to clean
the orifice. Replace as necessary.
6. Clean all exterior surfaces of the applicator
with a rag and a suitable solvent.
7. Assemble the parts in reverse order of disas-
sembly.

!
A wire brush or metal tools must NEV-
>
ER be used. NEVER use a cleaning tool
that is harder than the plastic parts. If a
deposit cannot be removed with solvent
and a rag or the soft brush, soak the part in
solvent ONLY until the deposit can be re-
moved! NEVER soak the applicator body,
barrel, or hook transformer!

!
NEVER wrap the applicator, associated
>
valves and tubing, and supporting hard-
ware in plastic to keep it clean. A surface
charge may build up on the plastic surface
and discharge to the nearest grounded
object. Efficiency of the applicator will also
be reduced and damage or failure of the
applicator components may occur. WRAP-
PING THE APPLICATOR IN PLASTIC
WILL VOID WARRANTY.
