Cleaning, Maintenance, and
Servicing
Solvent Selection
Always follow the paint manufactur- er’s recommendations for cleaning, sol- vent type, and disposing of used solvent. Run the water or solvent, depending on the type of paint used, under pressure for several minutes at least to clean out the inner channels and the spray orifice.
Latex Paints: Use warm, soapy water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use mineral
spirits on latex paints or the mixture will congeal making it very difficult to remove.
Oil Based Paints: Use mineral spirits.
After each use:
1.Empty the paint Cup (31) and clean it with solvent, or water for latex paint.
2.Fill the paint Cup (31) with solvent and spray it through the Gun into a container, while shaking the gun. Once the paint Cup (31) is empty, repeat the process until the solvent comes out clean.
3.Disconnect from the air source. After disconnecting, be aware that air pressure may still remain in the Spray Gun. Point the Gun into the spent solvent container and squeeze the Trigger (7) again to make sure no air remains.
4.Remove the Air Cap (1) and soak it in solvent until it is clean. Use an old toothbrush and/or toothpicks to remove any material. Do not use metal objects to clean the Air Cap
(1) or you may damage the drilled passages. Inspect the needle and make sure it is not bent. If it is bent, have it replaced by a certified service technician.
Warning!! Do not immerse the Spray Gun Body in solvent!
5.Use the appropriate solvent (depend- ing on the material sprayed) to wipe down the Gun body.
