General Maintenance
Checking & Replacing the Needleļī
Needle wear is expexcted and inspection during Cleaning will ensure the continued top-
performance of your Touch-Up Gun. If needle tip wear is noted:
Step 1. Unscrew the FAN ADJUSTING
SCREW (#28) and remove the
SPRING (#27).
Step 2. Using a pair of pliers or other
suitable device, carefully pull and
twist the NEEDLE ASSEMBLY
(#24āSā) until it has been removed.
Step 3. Purchase an identical replacement NEEDLE ASSEMBLY from Harbor Freight
Tools.
Step 4. By hand, carefully insert the needle into the GUN HOUSING (#5) and push until
the tip has exited the hole in the AIR CAP (#1).
Step 5. Place the SPRING over the NEEDLE ASSEMBLY and insert it into the
SPRAYER HOUSING.
Step 6. Replace the ADJUSTING SCREW and readjust its setting to the position it was in
before removed (refer to Step 1).
NOTE (Step 1)Before unscrewing the
ADJUSTMENT SCREW, place a mark on the
ADJUSTMENT SCREW where it meets the
GUN HOUSING (#13). This will make re-
adjusting the gun, after maintenance, easier.
