Sealey HVLP2000 - Manual (Page 3)

6. CLEANING / MAINTENANCE
fig.3
6.1. The gun must be cleaned immediately after finishing using it. On no
account must any paint be allowed to even partially dry as this may make
the gun unusable. Switch off the unit and disconnect from the mains
supply before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
6.2. Empty the paint container immediately and flush it out. If using a water
based paint, refill with clean water and operate the gun until it is spraying
clean water only. If using an oil based paint, stain, or lacquer, clean the
paint container with the appropriate thinning medium, then refill the
container with the medium and operate the gun until all residue has been
flushed out.
6.3. Clean the outside of the gun and the main unit with a soft cloth soaked in
warm soapy water.
6.4. To maintain the spray gun in peak operational condition, the main parts
should be regularly inspected and cleaned. Plastic parts can only be
immersed in hot soapy water and brushed clean. Never soak plastic parts
in any solvents as this may cause the parts to disintegrate.
6.5. Unscrew the nozzle retainer and remove the nozzle behind it (fig.4).
6.6. The fluid tube is a push fit into the main body of the gun. To remove for
cleaning, simply pull it out of its seating.
6.7. Clean parts as previously directed and then carefully reassemble the gun
in reverse order. When reassembling after cleaning / maintenance, be sure
to take care when screwing parts together. DO NOT use excessive force
when reassembling.
6.8. Should any deterioration in the performance of the spray gun occur, refer
first to the trouble shooting guide, or return it to a Sealey service agent.
6.9. The air filter should be cleaned on a regular basis. Remove the filter cover
by sliding it away from the unit and remove the foam filter.
If using water based paints clean the filter in mild soapy water and remove
excess water by pressing in a soft cloth. Allow to dry before reinstalling.
Slide the filter cover back into position.
Where a build-up of non-water soluble paint has occurred, the filter cannot
be cleaned and will have to be replaced. To prolong filter life, place the
main unit as far away as possible from the spraying area.
