CLEANING SPRAY GUN
CLEANING FILTER IN GUN HANDLE
Immediately after the work is finished, flush the gun out
with a solvent. Brush pins with solvent and oil them
lightly so they will not collect dried paint.
To clean the filter, use a brush dipped in an appropri-
ate solvent. Change or clean filters at least once a day.
Some types of latex may require a filter change after
four hours of operation.
Gun Handle. Unscrew
from gun head to service
filter inside.

CLOGGED FLAT TIP
Should the spray tip become clogged, relieve
pressure from hose by following the "Pressure Re-
lief Procedure." Secure gun with the safety latch,
take off guard, take out the tip, soak in appropriate
solvent & clean with a brush. (Do not use a needle
or sharp pointed instrument to clean the tip. The
tungsten carbide is brittle and can chip.)
