Spraying Troubleshooting -
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.
2. 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.
Spraying Troubleshooting -
The filter at the bottom of the suction tube may also need cleaning. Check it every time you change spray containers.
1. Remove the filter by unscrewing it from the suction tube.
Clean the filter with the appropriate cleaning solution
(warm, soapy water for latex materials, mineral spirits for
oil-based materials).
2. Thread the filter back into place.
If after completing all of the steps in Spraying
Troubleshooting you are still experiencing problems
spraying, refer to the Troubleshooting section (page 22).
