WARNING
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE SIGHT CAP WHILE THE
PAINT TANK IS PRESSURIZED. PRESSURE IN THE TANK

INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE
THE TANK.
8. Paint Supply Valve - Located on the bot-
tom of the tank, below the deck. This valve is
normally open and closed only when servicing
delivery system components.
Paint Delivery System
The paint delivery system includes tubing and flex -
ible hoses that channel the pressurized paint to
the spray guns. The rear filters near the carriages
also serve as a manifold to distribute the paint
flowing through the filter to multiple spray guns.
Pneumatic valves at each gun turn the paint sup-
ply on or off. Another valve on each gun delivers
pressurized air at the nozzle to atomize the paint
as it exits the gun. The valves are controlled by
switches in the gun control panels.
Each paint tank delivery system is equipped with
a primary and final filter that removes contami -
nates from the paint. Isolator valves in the lines
on each side of the filter allow the operator to
isolate the filter and allow it to be disassembled
and cleaned. Another valve provides pressurized
water to flush out the filter housing and clean the
strainer. Refer to the Routine Maintenance section
of this manual for instructions to disassemble and
clean the filters.
NOTICE:
ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO PURGE ALL PRESSURE FROM
THE PAINT TANK AND CLOSE THE SUPPLY VALVE BEFORE
SERVICING A FILTER.
2.8 Paint Tank Fill System
There are two or three transfer pumps, one for
each paint tank, depending on the options select-
ed. The system includes hoses with quick connect,
cam lock fittings to connect the transfer pump to
a tote or drum filled with paint. There are also
withdrawal tubes that connect to the hoses.
