fluid outlet port plug (4). Install the plug in the
fluid outlet port of the fluid housing (2). See

D Circulating Paint Guns: Reinstall the filter (32)
in the fluid inlet port and the gasket (3) in the
fluid housing (2).

2. Install the o-rings (22*, 23*) on the piston (21).
Install two o-rings (25*, 26*) on each of the piston
stems (T). Lubricate all the o-rings, the piston, and
the piston stems.
3. Insert the piston (21) into the piston housing (1).
4. Remove the protective paper from the sticky side
of the gasket (13*) and adhere the gasket to the
bottom of the piston housing (1), making sure the
three holes in the gasket are properly aligned with
the matching holes in the housing.
5. Install the fluid housing (2) on the piston housing
(1). Torque the four screws (15) to 65 in-lb (7.3
NSm).
CAUTION
Install a new gasket (11{) whenever you remove the
seat (10) from the gun. Failure to install a new gas-
ket may result in fluid leaking into the air chamber.
6. Install the o-rings (31) on the fluid needle assem-
bly (12). Lubricate with light weight oil.
CAUTION
Be sure to keep the needle straight when installing it
in the piston housing. If the needle is bent it must be
replaced.

the fluid housing (2). Push it straight back through
the piston.
8. Install a new gasket (11{) in the fluid housing (2).
9. Lubricate the threads of the seat (10). Screw it into
the fluid housing (2) and torque to 20–25 ft-lb
(27–34 NSm).
10. Install the needle stop (17) on the needle. Coat the
setscrew (16) with semi-permanent anaerobic
sealant and install the screw into the needle stop.
Torque to 4–5 in-lb (0.45–0.56 NSm). Pull on the
needle to make sure it seats fully.

toms out.

the assembly with a wrench, but do not exceed
5 ft–lb (6.8 NSm) for model 233670 gun.
