SHUTDOWN
These steps are to be followed during a shutdown for
short periods such as breaks, lunch, downtime, etc.
1. Release the trigger. Allow two to five seconds for the paint
to quit flowing off the bell then turn OFF the gun motor.
Turn the power supply OFF (at the booth wall switch for
permanent installations or at the master switch on the
power supply for mobile operations).
2. Place the feed tube in the one o’clock position. Loosen
the set screw on the bell hub. Then hold the shaft collar
with one hand and turn the bell on the shaft with the other
hand as you pull it forward off the shaft.
3. Clean the bell with a soft brush (nonmetallic) or cloth
and a suitable solvent. The bell MUST be cleaned if the
spraying is to be interrupted for more than a few minutes.
4. Dry the bell and reinstall it on the shaft. Re-position the
feed tube and contact brush.
END OF SHIFT
These steps are to be followed during a shutdown for
extended periods of time exceeding one hour. Time may
vary according to the applications and material being used.
1. Release the trigger and allow the bell to rotate until it is
clear of paint. Then turn the gun motor OFF.
2. Turn the power supply OFF. The power supply must be
“OFF” to perform any cleaning or maintenance.
DO NOT soak the bell in solvent as this may de-
teriorate its black conductive coating. See Service
Instruction “Solvent Effects on #2 Handgun Bell /
Brush Wear” and “Paint and Solvent Specifica-
tions” in the “Appendix” section of this manual.
BEFORE attempting any cleaning or color
change procedures, the high voltage and the AC
power to the power supply MUST be turned OFF!
The bell
MUST
be cleaned if the gun will not be op-
erated again within a few minutes. If two component cat-
alyzed paint is used, frequent bell cleaning and flushing
may be required. (See “Color Change” in the “Opera-
tion” section.)
10. All on-site painting companies should have adequate
liability insurance to protect them in the event of any
real or perceived damage as a result of their operations.
In view of the above unknown and possible uncontrolled
conditions, Ransburg does not recommend the electrostatic
spray painting of computer cabinets, consoles, or painting
in close proximity to these devices.
3. Remove and clean the bell (follow the steps under “Shut-
down” in the “Operation” section).
4. Place the gun (bell angled down) on the gun support rack
to prevent solvent and paint from getting into the unit.
5. Flush the paint hose, gun, and feed tube with solvent. Check
the equipment frequently after the initial installation and estab-
lish flushing schedules based on the observed requirements.
Normally, the system should be flushed at least once each
day or per an eight-hour shift. (See the paint supplier for
recommendations regarding catalyzed paints).
6. Wipe the gun, cable, and the hose with a rag and suitable
mild solvent for the coating being sprayed.
The frequency of flushing depends upon:
Never soak or submerge the assembled applicator
is solvent of any kind.
• Paint type
• Paint viscosity
• Whether the system is circulating or non-circulating
• Whether the paint system is heated or not
• Hours of use, etc.
