MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical Ryobi 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.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
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.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions.
CAUTION:
It is important to thoroughly clean the sprayer after each
use or when changing colors. Allowing paint or stain to
remain in an idle tool for an extended period can cause
its moving pieces to seize up.
WARNING:
Do not clean with any flammable liquids such as paint
stripper, paint remover, brush cleaner, mineral spirits, lac-
quer thinner, turpentine, acetone, gasoline, kerosene, etc.
