Spraying Troubleshooting - Cleaning the Spray Gun Filter
The screen at the bottom of the suction tube may also need cleaning. Check it every time you change spray containers.
The lter must be cleaned every time you use your sprayer. When using thicker spray materials, the lter might need to
be cleaned more often.
1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 7.
2a. Model GX-07 - Unscrew the tting 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 lter housing by pulling outward from the lter
housing. Unscrew the lter housing.
3. Remove the lter 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 lter for holes (see inset, right). Replace if
holes are found.
NOTE - NEVER POKE THE FILTER WITH A SHARP
INSTRUMENT!
5. Replace the cleaned lter, tapered end rst, into the
gun housing. The tapered end of the lter must be
loaded properly into the gun. Improper assembly
will result in a plugged tip or no ow from the gun.
