Fluid leaking from packing

Excessive overspray
Will not spray
5. Unscrew packing nuts and replace
the packing ONLY if a leak will not
stop when the nut is tightened (See
Figure 5). Do not over-tighten a
packing nut because this will
restrict movement of the needle.
6. Re-assemble in reverse order of
above and use a non-silicone oil on
moving parts. Apply Vaseline
light grease on threaded joints and
hose connections.
