PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Daily lubrication and cleaning is necessary to maintain the best condition of the gun.
2. To clean the gun body, wipe exterior with solvent dampened cloth. Do not submerge the gun body in solvent as any
solids may get into the air passage and cause troubles.
3. Do not leave the gun with solvent in fluid cup. Clean the spray gun after used with clean solvent and empty the cup.
To clean the fluid cup, after removing extra paint, through the appropriate solvent and flush down the residual paint.
4. The Air Cap can be immersed in solvent and brushed down for cleaning. If orifices are clogged, use a toothpick to
remove obstruction. Never use a steel wire or hard instrument. This will damage air cap and result in a distorted spray
pattern.
5. Do not immerse any plastic parts in solvent for long time.
6. Certain portions of gun should be lubricated. Do not lubricate to any portion where not instructed. For lubrication,
SSL-10 Gun Lube* is recommended (*sold separately, vegetable not repelling materials).
7. The following portions should be lubricated regularly; Trigger Stud Screw (16), Pattern Valve (14), threads of cheater
Valve (18) and Adjusting Screw (13), Air Valve (15) stem, portion of Packing Gland (8) where Needle (11) comes in and
out.
8. When installing Air Cap (4), make sure no foreign materials adhered on Retaining Ring (1) and thread of Baffle (6) and
then oil one drop of Gun Lube SSL-10.
9. Apply non-silicone grease lightly on Needle Spring (12) and Air Valve Spring (15). Do not apply too much grease as it
may clog the air passage.
