Cleaning
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 immediately after each use.
Basic spray gun cleaning:
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 SPRAY GUN FROM
AIR!
3. Put on safety glasses and unscrew the
cup.
5. Unscrew the atomizing cap with your
fingers and the fluid tip with the
service wrench (
Figure 1). The fully
disassembled gun should look like
Figure 9.
6. Rinse these parts thoroughly in
solvent then dry with compressed air
or let air dry.
Note: If the small holes in the
atomizing cap become blocked, soak
them in clean solvent. If the blockage
still exists, clear it with a small
needle, taking great care not to
enlarge or damage the hole. Damage
to the hole will create a disrupted
spray pattern.
7. Use the cleaning brush with solvent
to clean the inner orifice and other
hard to reach areas on the outside of
the spray gun body.
8. Wipe the rest of the gun body with a
shop towel and dry.
