GENERAL CLEANING
To clean the gun after each use, empty all paint from the Cup. Use a
solvent-soaked rag to clean the residue in the Cup. Then, spray some
clean solvent through the Gun into a clean rag (to avoid filling the room
with unnecessary spray) or a bucket. Repeat until the inside of the
fluid passages in the Gun, Metal Fluid Tube etc. are clean. Use the
wet rag to wipe off the Aircap and tip of the Fluid Nozzle. The Aircap
can be soaked in thinner.
Do not restrict the Fluid Nozzle when cleaning - this will drive thinned
paint up the pressure tube and into the spraygun which is undesirable.
If this type of cleaning is done while the paint is still wet in the Gun, it
should be all that is necessary to keep the Gun clean enough for next
time. Do not leave liquids in the Cup overnight or for long periods.
PLEASE DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH OR ANYTHING METAL TO
CLEAN THE GUN OR CUP AS THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE.
DO NOT disassemble the Cup Assembly - Threads in your cup
have been sealed at the factory to prevent leakage under
pressure.
The standard 1 quart (1000cc) Cup can be used with most coatings
(including water-based). Also available as an accessory is our 2093T
Teflon-coated Cup.
CAUTION: Never soak the complete Spraygun in solvent as this
removes the grease from the parts and distributes thinned paints
throughout the air passages. It could also damage internal parts such
as the Spindle Valve or Valve Seals. It may however, be necessary
sometimes to soak the Aircap No. 2 and Nozzle No. 3. You may soak
only the metal parts in solvent and clean with the soft bristle
Cleaning Brush 9045. To reassemble, first oil or grease all moving
and threaded parts.
CAUTION: Do not store the Gun with the cup clamped down
hard as this will cause the gasket to flatten out. Do not lay the
gun down on its side with liquid material in it.

THE TRIGGER IS SLUGGISH
• The Needle Packing is too tight - see ADJUSTING THE
NEEDLE PACKING. Page 15
• Bent Needle
POOR SPRAY PATTERN
• Damaged Needle or Nozzle
• Nozzle is clogged
• Air holes in Aircap clogged
• Gun too far from surface (max. 8” - 20cm)
PAINT AT THE AIR NOZZLE HOLES
• The Fluid Nozzle is loose and material is leaking around it -
tighten with the supplied Wrench
• Paint is entering the gun via the Pressure Tube and being
blown through the Barrel to the Aircap
GUN SPRAYS IN A PULSATING MANNER
• The Needle Packing has worn a little or is loose. Tighten
• The Cup is almost empty
• The Cup Lid is not tight - air is escaping
• The clear Plastic Pressure Tube is leaking air. Replace
• The Pressure Tube and/or Nipple is clogged. Clear or replace
EXCESSIVE OVERSPRAY
• The spray pattern size is too large for the item being sprayed
• The Gun is being held too far away - should be 8” max. (20cm)
• Trigger on and off as you pass over the edges of the item
• The product is too thin - try thinning less
• Reduce the air by turning the Air Control Valve to the point
where overspray is minimized but the finish still looks good
• For ideal and comfortable spraying conditions, you should
install an extraction fan.* If you are spraying a flammable,
combustible product such as nitrocellulose lacquer, you must
install an explosion-proof fan (and explosion-proof lighting and
switches)
* Please check with the local jurisdiction on this matter.
