Cleaning Ancillary Equipment

A. If using a 1-Quart Cup, be sure to clean the

Air Pressure Tube of all paint residue.

B. Clean the anti-drip feature on the cup lid and

be sure this air passage is open.

C. Clean all paint residue from the cup, with

particular attention to the gasket and cup lip.

(Hint:

Periodically turning the gasket over

subsequent use.

5. Check the air passages in the air cap. Paint

build-up here reduces air flow and will result in

a distorted pattern.

6. Clean the packings at the rear of the fluid

block with a brush and solvent. Improperly

cleaned packings can cause the needle to

stick, resulting in poor performance of the gun.

If using a gun washer, place the Gun in the

cleaner and cycle. Then follow instructions above

making sure all parts are clean and dry before re-

assembly.

Lubricate

A. Use Vaseline or a non-silicone grease to

lubricate the gun.

B. Lubricate all threaded connections for ease

of maintenance.

C. Lubricate the Needle only where it passes

through the needle packings.

D. DO NOT allow lubricant to get into the Fluid

Tube, Nozzle, Air Cap, or interior of the paint

chamber (areas where paint may come in

contact with lubricant).

B. Replace the inductor filter on the AirVerter

Inductor when it becomes clogged and can

no longer be cleaned. A filter must be used

to prevent dust and dirt from being blown

onto the finish.
