Daily Maintenance

It is recommended that any solutions in the cups be emptied back into their original containers. The extra cups should be washed out with lukewarm water and a drop of dish soap, rinsed, inverted and left to dry overnight. For cleaning of the gun, fill one of the 6 oz. cups with 2-3 ounces of lukewarm water and a drop of dish soap. Spray the soapy water through the gun into a sink. Then fill the cup with clear water and spray until the water runs clear. Remove the cup, the excess water will flow out of the tube, and spray air only for 30 seconds. Wipe the gun down, as well as the hose and machine.

On-going maintenance

It is recommended that you use the gun cleaning kit once every two-four weeks to ensure your gun's peak performance. Check your air pre-filter every week. It can be cleaned with any mild soap and water, dried and reinstalled. Replace pre-filter as necessary. New pre-filters are on our site.  

1. Remove pattern control ring (black ring on the front of the gun) by unscrewing it counterclockwise, remove detent plate and detent spring and clean in soapy water, rinse.
2. Remove material control knob at the back of the gun. This is the larger black knob that butts up to the silver part of the gun. Unscrew that counterclockwise. Pull back on the trigger and pull the needle out through the back of the gun.
3. Remove the nozzle with the nozzle removal tool. The tool will fit tightly around the nozzle. Turn it counterclockwise. If it is hard for you to turn, lay the gun on the side of a table flat side down, holding the tool over the nozzle and tap with a hammer to loosen the nozzle enough for you to unscrew by hand. Clean nozzle with soapy water, rinse.
4. Run the brush through the body of the gun as necessary, front to back.
5. It should not be necessary to clean the clear tubes running up from the cup if you have been running soapy water and clear water through the gun on a daily basis.
6. Attach the turbine air hose to the gun and blow air through to dry out the body.
7. Apply a thin coat of Vaseline to the shaft of the needle, threads of the material control body and adjustment screw, and the threads of pattern control ring.
8. Reassemble gun.
