Additional maintenance
Repacking the fluid section
A small amount of paint bypassing the piston and coming out
of the slots in the upper piston housing is normal. If it
becomes excessive, or if paint pressure drops, the piston
packings need to be replaced.
ALWAYS follow the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
found in your manual before starting any troubleshooting,
servicing or cleaning.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Make certain that the unit
is turned off and unplugged before attempting any
disassembly.
Removing the fluid section
1. Loosen and remove the suction tube assembly by turning
it counterclockwise.
2. Remove the shroud.
3. Remove the finger guard.
4. Loosen the screw clamp and remove the return line.
5. Remove the cotter pin from the connecting pin.
6. Remove the connecting pin by pushing it through the slide
block and piston rod.

Removing the piston rod assembly
Refer to the parts listing for the fluid section assembly.
1. Position the inlet valve housing (28) in a vise so that the
fluid section is vertical. Tighten the vise.
2. Position a large adjustable wrench on the wrench flats of
the cylinder (8). Turn the cylinder counterclockwise until
the cylinder is removed from the inlet valve housing.
3. Remove the inlet valve housing from the vise. Remove the
inlet ball stop disk (23) and tap out the inlet ball cage (25).
4. Remove the inlet valve carbide seat (26). Inspect the inlet
valve ball and the inlet ball seat for damage. If the seat is
worn or damaged, it can be flipped to the unused side. If
you flip or replace the seat, the ball must be replaced.
5. Remove the inlet valve seat O-ring (27) from the inlet
valve housing.
6. Position the wrench flats of the cylinder (8) in a vise and
tighten the vise.
Do not over tighten or you might damage the cylinder.

may be damaged if it falls. The lower packings may also
fall out.
8. Gently tap down the piston assembly with a rubber mallet
until the piston assembly comes out.
