What happens here

With the gun fully reassembled, connect it to a water source or paint supply, ensuring it's under low pressure. Begin spraying and carefully observe the packing nut area for any leaks. If leaking occurs, use the 10mm wrench to tighten the packing nut by small increments, specifically a quarter turn at a time. Re-test after each adjustment until the leak is completely stopped. Overtightening should be avoided to prevent premature wear on the new packing.

Goal: After reassembly, connect the gun to water or paint under low pressure and check for any leaks. If leaks persist, tighten the packing nut by a quarter turn at a time until the leaking stops.
