5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

Before carrying out maintenance and inspection ALWAYS
CAUTION
observe warning indications.
- Never use spare parts that are not AIRGUNSA originals.
- Never damage fluid nozzle tip, fluid needle or air cap hole.
- Never immerse the spray gun completely in liquids such as thin-
ner.
5.1 CLEANING PROCEDURE
The fluid passages of the gun, must be cleaned thoroughly
after each use, especially after use with bi-component paints.
Incomplete cleaning can cause defective pattern shape.
- Never soak air cap set (2) in cleaning liquid for an extended period,
even when cleaning.
- Never use metal brush to clean the gun.
1. Drain remaining paint from spray gun and cup, into a suitable container.
2. Pour cleaner into cup.
3. Unscrew air cap (2) by 2 turns, to allow atomizing air to back flush, fluid
passages of the gun.
4. Pull trigger (14) and make sure, that atomizing air enters cup.
5. Leave cleaner for a few seconds, then empty it into suitable waste container.
6. Repeat procedure above, until spray gun is clean.
7. Remove air cap (2) and cup from gun, then clean each section with brush
soaked with cleaner and wipe out with waste cloth.
8. DRY ALL PARTS completely and apply spray gun lubricant to each thread.
5.2 DISASSEMBLE PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: BEFORE DISASSEMBLY, FULLY CLEAN FLUID PASSAGES.
A. Disassemble air cap cover (1), air cap (2) and fluid nozzle (3) from gun body,
while keeping fluid needle (9) pulled (triggering) in order to protect its seat
section.
B. Disassemble fluid needle set (9). (only when strictly necessary)
C. Remove the fluid adj. knob (11) and needle spring (10), extracting the spring
and fluid needle set (9), from the back of fluid adj. guide (8) set still assem-
bled on the gun body.
D. Adjustment of the needle packing set (5), must always be carried out with
fluid needle (9) still assembled, tightening the nut with a properly spanner,
making sure that excessive tightening does not impede movement of fluid
needle (9), resulting in paint leaking from fluid nozzle tip (3).
- When you remove needle packing nut (5), don't leave the plastic parts of
needle packing set in the gun body.
- Try to adjust it carefully while pulling trigger and confirming movement of
fluid needle set (9).
- If you tighten it too much, repeat operation.
