Air Filter:
The air filter protects the pneumatic system from excess particulates and
condensation. The filter bowl is equipped with a normally closed auto drain
feature. When condensation builds up in the filter bowl the float lifts,
activating the drain. The air filter bowl on air assembly should be drained
daily. It is normal for this bowl to collect water during the use of the
machine and this water should never be allowed to stand in the bowl.
There is a small drain valve in the bottom of the plastic bowl. Never use
pliers to tighten this valve. Finger tight is all it will ever need.
Air Supply Lubricator:
The air supply lubricator should be checked daily. This ensures that the air
motor agitator stays well lubricated, which is necessary to avoid damage.
Cleaning the Hopper:
1.
Run any remaining product out of hopper.
2.
Turn the air dump valve knob to dump the air from the machine.
3.
Put approximately 2 gallons of LUKEWARM water into the hopper with about a
teaspoon of Dawn® or equivalent grease dissolving liquid dish washing
detergent. Gently scrub off any remaining product with a soft brush.
4.
Reset the machine.
5.
Run the cleaning solution through the machine, and then continue with clean
water until no residue remains.
6.
Remove the hopper from the product head by taking off the tri-clamp at its
base.
Cleaning the Agitator
(if present):
1.
Follow the instructions for cleaning the hopper prior to cleaning or
removing the agitator.
2.
E-Stop the machine and remove the air supply.
3.
Remove the hopper lid.
4.
Loosen the knob on the back side of the agitator mount and gently lift
out the agitator.
5.
Keep the air hoses and upper portion of the agitator away from the
water as much as possible.
6.
Clean the agitator shaft in a COP or similar washing basin.
Removing the Product Valve:
7.
Remove the quick pin connecting the product valve H-arm and cylinder.
8.
Lift the lock bar away from the product valve.
9.
Pull the product valve out while rotating back and forth to prevent the
O-rings from getting caught on the product head ports.
