Maintenance
Cleaning the Filters
IMPORTANT: Before every use, you should
inspect the air lters in the turbine to see if it
is excessively dirty. If it is dirty, follow these
steps to replace it.
IMPORTANT: Never operate your unit
without the air lters. Dirt could be sucked in
and interfere with the function of the unit.
1. Unplug the spray gun. Push the snap levers (a)
on the two turbine covers and remove them.
Remove the dirty lters and rub them between
your hands to remove collected paint. If this
does not help, replace with new ones. The
smooth side of the air lter must be placed
toward the turbine. Secure the covers back
onto the turbine.
