How To Properly Clean or Repair A Paint Sprayer. Titan Spray Painting.
What happens here
To finalize the cleaning and prepare for storage, turn the pressure setting on the sprayer all the way down to its lowest point. Then, turn off the power to the sprayer. Flip the prime/spray knob to the 'prime' position to release any residual pressure from the prime tube. Immediately after, squeeze the trigger of the spray gun to release any remaining pressure from the hose. Depressurizing the system is crucial as it makes rolling up the hose easier and reduces strain on the internal components of the sprayer during storage. Finally, locate the lubrication port (often called a packing gland) on your sprayer and apply packing lube. It is recommended to lubricate the sprayer every time it is used to maintain optimal performance and prolong the life of the pump's seals.
Goal: Before final storage, depressurize the entire sprayer system and apply packing lube to the appropriate port to maintain the pump's seals.
