Spraying Troubleshooting - Cleaning the Spray Gun Filter
The filter must be cleaned every time you use your sprayer. When using thicker spray materials, the filter might need to
be cleaned more often.
1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 7.
2a. Model GX-07 - Unscrew the fitting from the bottom of the
spray gun using an adjustable wrench, making sure not to
lose the spring.
2b. Models GX-05 and GX-08 - Unclip the trigger guard from
the filter housing by pulling outward from the filter
housing. Unscrew the filter housing.
3. Remove the filter from the spray gun housing and clean
with the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water
for latex paints, mineral spirits for oil-based materials).
4. Inspect the filter for holes (see inset, right). Replace if
holes are found.
NOTE - NEVER POKE THE FILTER WITH A SHARP
INSTRUMENT!
5. Replace the cleaned filter, tapered end first, into the gun
housing.
The tapered end of the filter must be loaded
properly into the gun. Improper assembly will result
in a plugged tip or no flow from the gun.
6. Reassemble the spray gun.
