CAUTION

Trigger the gun whenever you tighten or remove the nozzle. This keeps the needle seat away from the nozzle seating surface and prevents the seat from being damaged.

10.Clean the air cap retaining ring, air cap, and fluid nozzle with solvent.

11.Dip the end of a soft-bristle brush into a compatible solvent. Do not continuously soak the brush’s bristles with solvent and do not use a wire brush.

12.With the gun pointed down, clean the front of the gun, using the soft-bristle brush and solvent.

13.Scrub the air cap retaining ring, air cap, and fluid nozzle with the soft-bristle brush. To clean out air cap holes, use a soft implement, such as a tooth- pick, to avoid damaging critical surfaces. Clean the air cap and fluid nozzle daily, minimum. Some applications require more frequent cleaning. Do not soak the air cap retaining ring in solvent for prolonged periods of time.
