Caution
Be sure the flush tank connections are
correct or the equipment will be damaged. It
is important not to fill the flush tank more
than ¾ full or solvent can get into the air
system and cause damage.
5. Double check all hose fittings and connections are
tight.
Note
The repair and maintenance of several components will require the use of
removable Loctite® 243 or equivalent thread lock compound, lithium grease,
and red grease.
Connect Air Source
The machine is supplied with an inline filter and should be connected to an unlubricated air
supply. Make sure not to exceed the maximum inlet air pressure marked on the filter (1 Mpa/10
bar/145 psi).
There is a sleeve valve on the rear of the enclosure so that air may be isolated from the control
box. Remove air from the machine when it is not in use by sliding the isolation valve sleeve away
from the control box.
Note
Upon air supply loss, either by the sleeve valve or loss of main pressure, when
the supply is re-energized all controls revert to an off state. This is a safety
feature so that none of the valves or components will energize unexpectedly
and create an unsafe situation.
