OPERATION WITHOUT TAP-WATER CONNECTION
If tap water is not available at the site of the gun-cleaner, you have the option to use recycled water (obtained from the
filtering process) for the rinse-gun as well as the cleaning brush
In that case the machine should be reconnected as follows:
Disconnect the hose for the rinse-gun (item 1 illustration 9) from the valve-panel, remove the red plug from the cross-
junction on the pump (item 2 illustration 9) and fit the hose in it´s place.
The wash-brush as well as the rinse-gun in the sink will now both operate with recycled water by pressing foot-valve 10
illustration 2.
When using the rinse-gun, the valve on the wash-brush (item 6 illustration 7) must be closed.
THE COAGULATION PROCESS
1. EMPTYING THE FILTRATE CONTAINER
When the water level reaches the level of the working platform (item 4 illustration 7), it is time to perform the coagulation
process. The filtrate container (item 7 illustration 2) must however first be completely drained of its remaining content.
Remove the front panel (item 5 illustration 1) by lifting it up-and-out.
Turn the lever (item 9 illustration 2) to open position, turn the leaver on the cleaning-brush in the sink to a closed position
and start the draining by opening the valve for the pump (item 8 illustration 2). The pump will now completely drain the
filtrate container through the drain hose and into the regular drain-water system.
You will be able to tell when the filtrate container is empty, since the pump will start to run faster. Then close the valve
for the pump as well as for the drain hose.
2. COAGULATION
N.B.: IT IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL THAT THE COAGULATION PROCESS IS CARRIED OUT WITH THE GREATEST
CARE, SO THAT LARGE FLOCKS OF COAGULATED PAINT ARE FORMED. OTHERWISE THE FILTERS WILL
IMMEDIATELY BECOME OBSTRUCTED, AND CANNOT BE RE-USED.
A: Remove the working platform (item 4 illustration 7).
B: Open the valve for the water agitator (item 5 illustration 7).
C: Add the coagulation powder as recommended by the paint manufacturer.
D: Stir the powder with a stick for a moment to avoid that it sinks down to the bottom in lumps.
D: Allow the agitator to run for a few minutes.
E: Stop the agitator occasionally for around 30 seconds since this improves the coagulation process. The total
coagulation time is around 5-10 min, depending on the amount of powder, the level of contamination, etc.
When this is done, close the valve for the agitator.
3. FILTRATION
Open the drain-valve (item 10 illustration 2) and drain the wash-basin completely into the filter (item 11 illustration 2). Clean the
inside of the wash-basin thoroughly with the cleaning brush (i.e. with recycled water), so that any remains of residual flocks are
completely drained into the filter.
When this is done, close the drain-valve
