CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
4.1 BASIC CLEAN UP
If you are taking a break or plan to spray the same material again within a reasonable time:
1. Turn off the turbine and disconnect the gun from the hose.
2. Turn the Material Flow Adjustment Screw at the back of the gun clockwise until it stops and
clean any excess coating remaining on the Fluid Tip. This will ensure that the Needle closes the
Fluid Tip air tight, allowing you, depending on the coating, to leave the material in the cup for
extended periods.
When you are finished your spraying project:
1. Remove the paint cup from the gun. While removing the cup, squeeze the trigger on the gun to
release all the paint from the siphon tube back into the cup.
2. Empty the excess material from the paint cup and clean the paint cup with an appropriate cleaning
solvent.
3. Pour some cleaning solvent in the clean paint cup and spray it with the gun into a bucket until the
spray is clear.
4. To clean the underside of the Paint Cup Top, either shake the gun while spraying the cleaning
solvent, or use a paintbrush with cleaning solvent and brush it clean.
5. Clean the Air Cap and the outside of the gun as necessary with a rag and cleaning solvent.
After spraying an adhesive, a catalyzed coating, or any other material that is known to be difficult
to clean, refer to Section 4.3 of this manual: Complete Disassembly And Cleaning Of Spray Gun.
Once cleaning is complete, dispose of used cleaning solvent and dirty rags in a safe and environmentally
friendly way.
4.2 MAINTAINING THE TURBINE AIR FILTERS
The motor inside the turbine cabinet draws large amounts of air volume. It is therefore very important to
check the turbine foam air filters after every use. Depending on the location of the turbine, these filters
may require some form of cleaning after every use.
The turbine foam air filters can be easily removed from the back of the turbine and are washable. Once
the pores are permanently blocked or begin to visibly deteriorate, the filters should be changed.
When re-installing filters, be sure they properly cover the motor air vents visible from either side of the
turbine cabinet.
WARNING: Do not put wet filters in the turbine - this may cause electrical shock and/or premature wear
of the turbine. Do not operate your turbine without the foam air filters.
