W-101 Spray Gun

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

Before carrying out maintenance and inspection ALWAYS observe
warning indications.
- Never use spare parts that are not Anest Iwata originals.
- Never damage fluid nozzle tip, fluid needle or air cap holes.
- Never immerse the spray gun completely in liquids such as thinner.
5.1 CLEANING PROCEDURE
The fluid passages of the gun, must be cleaned thoroughly
after each use, especially after use with bi-component paints.
Incomplete cleaning can cause defective pattern shape.
- Never soak air cap set (1) in cleaning liquid for an extended period,
even when cleaning.
- Never use metal brush to clean the gun.
1. Clean fluid passages and air cap set (1). Spray a small amount of
cleaner to clean fluid passages.
2. Clean each section with brush soaked with cleaner and wipe out with
waste cloth. Do not immerse the whole gun in the cleaner. If done, it can
damage parts. When cleaning, never scratch any holes of air cap set, fluid
nozzle, or fluid needle set.
3. DRY ALL PARTS completely and apply spray gun lubricant to each thread.
5.2 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
BEFORE DISASSEMBLY, CLEAN FLUID PASSAGES
a. Disassemble fluid nozzle (2-1), while keeping fluid needle (2-2) pulled (trig-
gering) in order to protect its seat section.
b. Disassemble fluid needle set (2-2). (only when strictly necessary).
c. Remove the fluid adj. knob (12) and needle spring (11), extracting the spring
and fluid needle set (2-2), from the back of fluid adj. guide (10) set still assem-
bled on the gun body.
d. Adjustment of the needle packing set, must always be carried out with fluid
needle (2-2) still assembled, tightening the nut with a properly spanner,
making sure that excessive tightening does not impede movement of fluid
needle (2-2) resulting in paint leaking from fluid nozzle tip (2-1).
- When you remove needle packing nut (4), don't leave the plastic part of
needle packing set in the gun body.
- Try to adjust it carefully while pulling trigger and confirming movement of fluid
needle set (2-2).
- If you tighten it too much, repeat operation.
e. Disassembly of pattern adjustment set (6) and/or air adjustment set (14).
In order to disassemble pattern adj. set (6) and/or air adj. set (14), turn
manually turn the hexagon knob of the adjustment counter-clockwise to
open it completely and unscrew the hexagon face with a spanner turning it
counter-clockwise.
- To reassemble, reverse the procedure.
IMPORTANT: Before reassembling pattern adjustment set and/or air
adjustment set, make sure that these operations are carried out with the
adjustment fully open.
