THE SPRAY GUN SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED AND THE GLAND WASHERS LUBRICATED IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USE. IF
THE PAINT DRIES INSIDE THE GUN CLEANING WILL BE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND MAY RENDER THE GUN INOPERABLE. THIS IS NOT
COVERED BY THE GUARANTEE.
Flush out the residue paint from the spray gun as follows:
Remove the Paint Container (17) from the spray gun.
Pour any residual paint into its original container for future use.
?
Use a cloth soaked in thinners to wipe out excess paint from the Paint Container (17), the underside of the Lid (20) and the Gasket (19).
?
Pour a small quantity of clean thinners into the Paint Container (17), refit the Paint Container (17) to the spray gun and shake the gun lightly.
?
Now spray all of the thinners through the gun.
?
Repeat this each time using clean thinners until there is no trace of paint in the thinners being sprayed.
?
?
To thoroughly clean the remainder of the spray gun, remove all working parts as per the exploded parts view on page 4 as follows:-
Loosen and remove Air Cap Ring (1), Air Cap (2) and Spray Direction Plate (3).
Now unscrew the Fluid Adjusting Screw (12) and remove the Fluid Needle (9) and Spring (11).
?
Using the Spanner (26) supplied remove the Fluid Tip (4) and Fluid Tip Seal (5).
?
?
After cleaning your spray gun and before fitting the needle, dip the tip into some petroleum jelly which will lubricate the Gland Washers (16) as the
needle is inserted. The external surfaces of the spray gun can be wiped clean with a cloth soaked in thinners.
NEVER DISPOSE OF PAINTS OR SOLVENT INTO DRAINS. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL TO ARRANGE COLLECTION OR FOR
Gland Washers (16) prevent leakage of air pass the needle. This leakage reduces the performance of the spray gun and must, therefore, be kept to
a minimum. After a period of use these gland washers will wear. This is normal and can be compensated by gradual adjustment of the Gland Nut
(15). Periodically check to ensure the gland nut is not loose. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN as this will increase wear of the washers. When necessary
just tighten the gland nut lightly using the special Spanner (26) provided.
By tightening this gland nut, the inside diameter of gland washers reduce thereby closing any small gap that may have occurred between the needle
and gland washers, therefore eliminating leakage.
The turbine unit only requires minimal maintenance.
Ensure its Filter (27) element is kept clean at all times.
This is the filter underneath the main body of the turbine. Disconnect the unit from the power supply, turn on side and remove filter. This
?
can be washed out if necessary and replaced when dry. From time to time this filter will need replacing (Part No. L0058).
The turbine bearings are sealed and lubricated for life. There is no maintenance or adjustment required.
Clean the turbine and Air Hose (28) unit with a damp cloth after use.
?
The Air Hose (28) is stowed by coiling it between the motor housing and hose cover.
?
The power cord is stowed by wrapping around the base of the unit and locating the plug in the space at the back of the unit.
