Maintenance
Flushing
• Flush before changing fluids, before fluid can dry
in the equipment, at the end of the day, before
storing, and before repairing equipment.
• Flush at the lowest pressure possible. Check
connectors for leaks and tighten as necessary.
• Flush with a non-flammable solvent that is
compatible with the fluid being dispensed and the
equipment wetted parts.
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or electric
shock, turn OFF (O) the ES On-Off switch before
flushing the gun.
Follow the
Fluid Voltage Discharge and Grounding
, before flushing.
Only flush, purge, or clean the gun with fluids that
meet the following flammability requirements:
• FM, FMc Approved:
Material does not sustain burning in accordance
with the Standard Test Method for Sustained
Burning of Liquid Mixtures, ASTM D4206.
• CE-EN 50059 Compliant:
Materials which cannot be ignited, in any mixture
with air, by an energy source of less than 500mJ.
NOTICE
Only use non-flammable solvents when flushing
or cleaning equipment.
1. Turn OFF (O) the ES On-Off switch. Wait 30
seconds for the voltage to bleed off.
2. Discharge the system voltage. See
Discharge and Grounding Procedure, page 25
3. Follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure, page 26
4. Remove and clean the air cap and spray tip.
5. Change the fluid source to non-flammable
solvent.
6. Point the gun into a grounded metal pail. Flush
until clean solvent flows from the gun.
