After use of oil based products
After daily use or when changing colour, it is important that the machine is thoroughly cleaned.
Due to safety it is important that signs and handles are kept clean and free of paint.
NB: Rubber gloves and eye protection must be used during the cleaning of the machine. Please follow
the directions from the supplier of the cleaning products.
6.2.1 All loose parts
Wash down the brush screens, brushes, backpressure rollers and guide in water, preferably hot water, if
necessary, cleaning solution.
It is recommended a more thorough cleaning of loose parts before re-use or when changing colours.
The procedures for cleaning these parts are described below:
First clean the loose parts are described above.
Soak the parts in a mixture of 50% cleaning solution and 50% water.
It is important that the brushes are always stacked on "hub" of the brush to prevent the hairs being bent
out of shape.
Rinse the parts thoroughly in water before re-use.
6.2.2 The machine
Take the suction pipe out of the bucket of wood protection.
Start the pump. Open the nozzle valves (remember to always open the upper nozzles first). Remove the
end plugs from the nozzles and the last of the fluid will be pumped into the machine and return to the
bucket. Close the nozzle valves after approx. 2 min.
The nozzle system is empty when air is pushed out of the excess pressure valve (seen as air bubbles in
the bucket).
Remount the end plugs onto the nozzle tubes. Replace the bucket with 1 bucket of cleaning solution.
Never use cellulose thinner, toluene or strong solvents for cleaning, as they may dissolve the paint and
plastic parts.
Place the suction tube into the bucket.
Start the pump and open the nozzle valves
Close the nozzle valves when they are clean.
Rinse the machine with the inbuilt washing hose and a brush, if necessary.
Repeat the treatment if necessary.
