Cleaning and Maintenance
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
Regulation
In certain states, spraying solvents that release VOC’s into the
atmosphere when cleaning a spray gun is prohibited. To comply
with these air quality laws you must use a cleaning method that
prevents the escape of VOC vapors into the atmosphere. See
Compliant Cleaning Methods below.
Compliant Cleaning Methods
• Place spray gun in a gun washer that completely encloses
the gun and components during cleaning, rinsing, and
draining.
• Spray solvent through the spray gun into a closed gun
cleaning station.
Cleaning Gun
1. Follow Flushing procedure, page 3.
2. Use a rag moistened in solvent to wipe outside of gun.
3. Blow dry gun inside and out. Lubricate gun - see Spray Gun
Maintenance.
Cleaning Nozzle and Air Cap
To clean the air cap and nozzle, remove and soak
them in a compatible cleaning solution. Clean them
and front of gun with a soft-bristle brush dipped
into compatible solvent. Do not use a wire brush or
metal tools. To clean out air cap holes, use a soft
implement, such as a toothpick.
Spray Gun Maintenance
• Frequently lubricate the gun moving parts with a drop of
non-silicone oil (part no. 8255). See F
IG. 2.
• Do not disassemble the spray gun if you are having a spray
pattern problem. Check Troubleshooting, page 5, for infor-
mation on how to correct the problem.
