7. MAINTENANCE
NOTE –
Only quali
fi
ed service personnel are to perform maintenance
tasks.
NOTE –
Never use hard or sharp objects to scrape ionization points.
CAUTION –
Electrical Shock Hazard – Deenergize all power supplies before
performing any maintenance tasks.
CAUTION –
Fire Hazard – Never energize a power supply with any trace of
alcohol remaining on the equipment.
Dust or dirt around the ionization point will reduce the effectiveness of the static
bar. The ionization points must be cleaned periodically to prevent deposits from
accumulating:
1. Deenergize all power supplies before performing any maintenance tasks.
2. Allow a gentle
fl
ow (5-10 psig) of compressed air through the gun during
maintenance.
3. Use dry compressed air to remove loose particulate from the gun. A soft
brush with plastic bristles may be used as well.
4. Press a soft pencil eraser onto the ionization point and gently twist to remove
any buildup.
5. Wipe ionization point with isopropyl alcohol applied to a clean dry cloth to
remove ink or resistant coatings.
NOTE –
The alcohol must not contain additives.
NOTE –
Do not pour alcohol directly onto the gun, and do not soak the
gun or any of its components in alcohol.
CAUTION –
Fire Hazard – Ensure all traces of alcohol have been removed
and the gun is completely dry before energizing the power supply.
