Special cleaning procedures for air and fluid nozzles
and needles
WARNING: All nozzles and needles are precision made. They must be handled with the utmost
care. Damage and alterations will cause decreased performance or faulty spray.
WARNING: Needles have sharp points. Handle with care to avoid puncture wounds and other
injuries.
1. Referring to the 'Assembly Diagram', carefully disassemble the spray gun, remove the nozzle
assembly and fluid needle
2. To clean, soak nozzles and needle in a suitable solvent that dissolves any dried material and
clean with a suitable soft brush
Note: Never soak the entire spray gun in solvent, as this will damage the packings and remove
lubrication.
3. Carefully blow all components clean with filtered, compressed air
WARNING: Do not probe any of the holes in the nozzles with metal instruments. If mechanical
cleaning becomes necessary, use only implements from materials softer than brass, such as
specialised nozzle cleaning aids.
Lubrication
• Even though the air and material passages of the spray gun must remain free of oil and other
contaminants, some components require frequent lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all packings, bearings and dynamic O-rings with a specialised spray gun lube,
and apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to springs
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place, out of the reach of children
