Operation and Maintenance Instructions for TOMCAT Spray Guns
Operation
1. Connect air supply hose at handle of gun.
2. Connect a pressurized fluid supply or paint siphon cup to the gun fluid inlet.
3. Fluid flow can be controlled using the fluid control knob, this restricts flow by limiting needle travel. It
is best to control fluid flow by proper selection of fluid orifice size and use the fluid control knob to “fine
tune flow rate”.
4. Fan width can be adjusted using the fan control knob. Turning the knob clockwise narrows the fan.
Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Routine cleaning and maintenance is essential to insure proper gun operation.
Several states prohibit spraying solvent into the atmosphere and require the use of covered gun cleaner.
1. If a gun cleaner is being used, connect and clean the gun in the gun cleaner according to the
manufactures instructions.
2. If a gun cleaner is not being used:
For pressure setups, remove air cap and clean separately using clean solvent.
Connect a pressurized solvent supply to the fluid inlet, trigger the gun allowing solvent to flow thru the gun until clean.
For siphon setups, first clean the siphon cup thoroughly then spray clean solvent thru the gun until clean.
NOTE: Gun head disassembly is not recommended for normal cleaning
and maintenance.
Gun head disassembly and reassembly instructions:
Gun head disassembly
To remove the nozzle carrier (5) and air cap adapter (6):
1. Remove the air cap (1), fluid nozzle tip (2), head insert (3), and needle (9)
2. Remove the needle seal cartridge (21)
3. Loosen the locknut (20) and remove fluid inlet (19) using a 5/8” open-end wrench
Gun head reassembly
1. Install the thread locknut (9) onto the fluid inlet as far as possible.
2. Install the needle seal (21).
3. Install seal ring (4), then tighten the head insert (3) with 5/8” open-end wrench until snug. BEWARE - DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN.
4. Install seal ring (4), then tighten the fluid inlet (19) to approx. 25 ft.-lb. torque.
5. Tighten the locknut (20) to approx. 33 ft.-lb. torque.
