How to clean & rebuild a Graco Contractor II gun. Graco Sprayer Tips.
What happens here
To clean the filter, first locate the trigger guard on the Graco Contractor II gun. This trigger guard is designed to swing open and serve as a tool. Disengage the trigger guard from its locked position and pivot it around until its end can engage with the nut on the filter housing. Use the trigger guard to loosen the nut by turning it. Once sufficiently loosened, the filter housing will pop up, allowing you to spin the top off by hand. Remove the filter. The presenter recommends cleaning the filter every three to four paint jobs using a high-pressure hose and nozzle. After cleaning, insert the filter back into the housing, align the housing, and screw it back on. Then use the trigger guard to tighten the nut until it is snug and re-engage the trigger guard to its locked position.
Goal: Clean the paint spray gun's filter to maintain proper pressure and prevent damage
