Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING

Follow Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment. Read warnings, page 2.

CAUTION

•Do not submerge gun in solvent. Solvent dissolves lubri- cant, dries out packings, and may clog air passages.

•Do not use metal tools to clean air cap holes as this may scratch them and distort the spray pattern.

•Use a compatible solvent.

•Gun can be cleaned in a gun washer.

Clean fluid and air line filters as directed by the manufac- turer.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Regulation

In certain states, spraying solvents that release VOC’s into the atmosphere when cleaning a spray gun is prohibited. To comply with these air quality laws you must use a cleaning method that prevents the escape of VOC vapors into the atmosphere. See Compliant Cleaning Methods below.

Compliant Cleaning Methods

•Place spray gun in a gun washer that completely encloses the gun and components during cleaning, rinsing, and draining.

•Spray solvent through the spray gun into a closed gun cleaning station.
