NOTICE
DO NOT soak the spray gun body in solvent. Prolonged exposure to solvent will rapidly deteriorate the spray gun washers and seals. Ignoring this notice will void your warranty.
Proper cleaning is the best way to ensure trouble free performance from your spray gun. If your gun is not thoroughly cleaned, damage and poor spraying will result. Problems caused by improper cleaning will not be covered by the warranty. Clean the spray gun immedi- ately after each use.
To clean your spray gun, do these steps:
1.Spray a small amount of solvent through the spray gun.
Note: Check with local laws regarding this practice. If you are spraying on a regular basis, spraying solvents into the air may be illegal. A cabinet style spray gun cleaner may be required.
2.Disconnect the gun from the com- pressed air!
4.Disassemble the gun by unscrewing the fluid control knob, then remove the spring and needle (Figure 9).
