NEVER shorten the electrode wire.
Fluid Nozzle
>
To avoid damage to the fluid nozzle, needle/
electrode, the paint pressure MUST be released
by triggering the applicator prior to removing
the tip.
>
The applicator MUST be tilted front down to
remove the air cap and/or fluid nozzle. Failure
to do so may allow paint to enter the air passag-
es, thereby reducing air flow and damaging the
applicator barrel/cascade. Applicators may be
flushed in lieu of removing nozzles. However,
they MUST be either flushed or tilted down
BEFORE removing the fluid nozzle!
>
The control unit power MUST always be off
when removing the nozzles.
