SAFETY RULES DURING USE
TO USE the diaphragm pump COMPLY WITH the safety precautions and rules described below.
The manufacturing company declines all responsibility if the operator does not comply with
them. It is not to be held responsible for any carelessness during the pump use, either.
If the system is used improperly, it could be broken by causing serious damage.
Do not change the system; use only Anest Iwata original spare parts.
Check the system daily: repair or replace immediately all worn or damaged parts.
Never exceed the maximum working pressure: 7 bar (100 psi)
IT IS FORBIDDEN to use the equipment for purposes that are different from the ones it is
destined to which are described in the use and maintenance manual. If in doubt, apply to your
ANEST IWATA reseller.
Use paints and solvents compatible with the system parts they come in touch with.
Refer to the paint and solvent features mentioned by the manufacturer.
Wear the protective clothes described in section 7.3

Wear some protective gloves and goggles, an oxygen mask and some ear protections during
working. Always follow the laws in force (Ex. LAW 626/94).
7.4
PREWASH
1. Make sure the pump is installed correctly (see section 6.3).
2. Soak the suction tube into the washing liquid, or fill the hopper or the tank according to the
model used.
3. Put the ball valve in the right position.
4. Adjust the inlet pressure between 2.0 and 7 bar.
5. Open gradually the two-way valve for paint recirculation (B on page 21). The washing liquid will
have to circulate through the dip tube recirculation pipe.
- If the Tank mount model is used, the washing liquid will circulate through the reciculation pipe.
- In the Hopper model, recirculation pipe is directly connected to the hopper.
6. Close the two-way valve for paint recirculation and adjust the paint pressure by means of Paint
Regulator (Recommended pressure for washing 3.0 bar)
7. Press the gun trigger (or supply the automatic gun opening control with some air), without
spraying air and let the washing fluid circulate for some minutes.
8. Make sure the washing has been done and then discharge the pump residual liquid and stop it.
