Graco Inc. 288592 Manuel D’Utilisation

In certain states, spraying solvents that release 
VOCs 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, page 5

.

•

Frequently lubricate the gun moving 
parts with a drop of non-silicone oil.

•

Do not disassemble the spray gun if you 
are having a spray pattern problem. See 
Troubleshooting, page 7, for information 
on how to correct the problem.

•

Check for fluid leakage. Tighten fittings 
or replace equipment as needed.

Flush before using the equipment, before 
changing colors, and when you are done 
spraying. Use solvent that is compatible with 
gun wetted parts and fluid that will be sprayed.

1. Relieve pressure, page 4.

2. Dispose of any paint in the cup. 

3. Fill the cup with a small amount of solvent.

4. Spray into a grounded metal waste 

container until the equipment is clean.

5. Relieve pressure, page 4.

1. Flush, page 5.

2. Use a rag moistened in solvent to wipe 

outside of gun and cup.

3. Make sure cup lid vent hole is clear.

4. Blow dry gun inside and out. Lubricate, see 

Maintenance, page 5.

1. Remove air cap (13), trigger gun, remove 

nozzle (11), and soak both in a compatible 
cleaning solution.

2. Clean them and the front of the gun with 

a soft-bristle brush dipped into compatible 
solvent. Do not use a wire brush or metal 
tools. 

3. Use a soft implement, such as a toothpick 

to clean out air cap holes.

1. Place spray gun in a gun washer that com-

pletely encloses the gun and components 
during cleaning, rinsing, and draining.

2. Spray solvent through the spray gun into 

a closed gun cleaning station.

Clean air line filters as directed by the 
manufacturer.

See Compliant Cleaning Methods, page 5, 
to comply with air quality laws if applicable.

•

Do not submerge gun in solvent. Solvent 
dissolves lubricant, dries out packings, 
and clogs air passages.

•

Do not use metal tools to clean air cap 
holes as this may scratch them and distort 
the spray pattern.

•

Use a compatible solvent.
