MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Please be aware that certain parts of this spray gun will wear, requiring replacement and that these parts are not covered by guarantee. These parts include the valve, spray nozzle, piston and spring. The wear on these parts depends on the abrasiveness of the materials being sprayed. More abrasive materials such as latex paint (emulsions) will cause these parts to wear much faster. You would normally expect to replace an atomiser valve after spraying between
If you check the face of a new valve you will see the size of the 3 holes and the smoothness of the bumpers.
Worn valves will have larger holes and scratches on the surface. This will cause a poor spray pattern and will require replacing. Replacement valves are available from the Earlex Service Department.
