MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use
of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result
in fluids entering your eyes resulting in possible serious
injury.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
NOTE: Always remove the battery pack from the unit before
attempting a service operation.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which may result
in serious personal injury.
CLEANING THE SPRAYER FOR STORAGE
See Figures 8 - 9, page 13.
When you’ve finished your project and are ready to
store the sprayer, a thorough cleaning and lubrication is
recommended.
Remove the battery pack from the sprayer.
Remove the paint container.
If you haven’t already done so, return any unused paint or
stain to its original container.
Fill the paint container with lukewarm water (following the use
of latex products) or Klean-Strip
®
Revolutionary White For-
mula Paint Thinner, Klean-Strip
®
Green Safer Paint Thinner,
CROWN
®
Paint Thinner NEXT, or any other non-flammable
paint thinner (following the use of oil-based products).
Reinstall the paint container.
Install the battery pack in the sprayer.
Spray the solution onto a piece of cardboard or other scrap
material. Continue spraying until all the solution is used.
Remove the battery pack from the sprayer.
Remove the paint container.
Remove the suction tube and filter.
Remove the installed spray tip by turning it counterclock-
wise.
Remove the atomizer valve assembly.
Remove the locking nut by turning it counterclockwise.
Slide the pump housing assembly/container lid forward off
the sprayer.
Pull the piston and spring off the pump housing.
Using the cleaning brush provided and the solution deter-
mined by the last type of paint or stain sprayed, clean all of
the above parts thoroughly.
NOTE: Make sure to scrub thoroughly inside the pump
housing opening so that no paint or stain material is left
behind.
Clean the vent hole in the pump housing using a straightened
paper clip or toothpick.
To reassemble:
Place a line of lubricant on the piston.
Slide the spring back onto the piston.
Insert the piston and spring assembly inside the back of the
pump housing.
Replace the pump housing assembly/container lid into the
sprayer.
Replace the locking nut on the motor housing by pushing
in while rotating clockwise to secure.
Insert the atomizer valve assembly into the pump housing
front opening.
Replace the spray tip and rotate clockwise to secure.
Reinstall the suction tube and filter.
Reinstall the paint container.
The sprayer is now ready to be stored.
REPLACING ATOMIZER VALVE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 10, page 13.
The atomizer valve causes the paint or stain material to spin
as it comes out of the sprayer. After 7 to 10 gallons of paint or
stain, the atomizer valve may no longer produce a good spray
pattern and may need to be replaced.
To replace:
Remove the battery pack from the sprayer.
Rotate the spray tip counterclockwise and remove.
Remove the atomizer valve assembly and discard.
Install the new atomizer valve assembly.
Replace the spray tip and rotate clockwise to secure.

heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or
disassemble battery pack or remove any of its components.
Lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium batteries must be recycled
or disposed of properly. Also, never touch both terminals
with metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit may
result. Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these
warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.
